Chrysler Patriot

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Chrysler Patriot was a turbine-powered hybrid sports-prototype racing car built by Chrysler in 1993 as a concept car. The traction engine was a four-pole, three-phase, 525-volt AC induction motor, weighing 143 pounds (65 kg), with a maximum speed of 24,000 rpm; it had an aluminum housing, was lubricated by oil, and had an 8:1 motor to final drive ratio. It included flywheel energy storage.[1]

It is not to be confused with the Jeep Patriot, a 2007 SUV built by the same company.
