Welcome to Autopuzzles.

....and Yes it is!
The Howmet Turbine experimental (TX) was an American sports prototype racing car designed in 1968 to test the competitive use of a gas turbine engine in sports car racing.
Planned by racing driver Ray Heppenstall, the TX combined a chassis built by McKee
Engineering, turbine engines leased from Continental Aviation & Engineering, and financial backing and materials from the Howmet Corporation
