There are massive differences in efficiency for turbines that at generating electricity (the jag) and ones that are directlydriving the car (Chrysler)
A gas turbine running at designe rpm generating electricity is around 98%~ efficient where as outside the desgned range it's fairly inneficient.. And to drive the car directly it would need to change rpm, unless through a cvt
