Oldsmobile Jetfire (1962)
Unfortunately, the Oldsmobile Jetfire is an important model for automotive history that never got the respect it deserved. Along with the Chevrolet Corvair Monza, it was the first turbocharged passenger car. However, Oldsmobile`s system was far more complex and powerful than Chevrolet`s. The new V8 delivered 215 hp, which was one horsepower per cubic inch, making it one of the best performance cars of the day. With a 0 to 60 mph time of around 8 seconds, it was almost as fast as the Corvette.
