The first one used a turbine and gear box to drive the rear axle. It evolved through several stages with larger wheels and tires, but was abandoned after they found they could go faster with less weight on thrust alone. I imagine you could do the same things with a hydrogen peroxide rocket now. One of the things that was touted as a purpose was to make a "passing engine" for large trucks. The turbine was to drive an extra drive axle on demand. I was into karting in the sixties and remember reading about this in several issues of KARTING magazine.
