Odd And Rare Older Cars You Don’t See Everyday

#43 – 1952 SOCEMA‑Gregoire

French automobile engineer Jean-Albert Gregoire created the 1952 SOCEMA‑Gregoire. It contains a single rotor kerosene-fuelled ‘cematurbo’ turbo engine that could pump out 100 bhp at 25,000 rpm. He built the vehicle around a Hotchkiss Grégoire with an aluminum platform. The car was an experimental prototype that people recognized for its inspired aerodynamic shape with two doors. The body helped the vehicle reach an estimated 124.27 mph. However, anyone looking to purchase the vehicle will be out of luck since Gregoire only made one. We’d be curious how it handles.
