Abstract

A motor vehicle drive system in which an internal combustion engine is operatively connected to a gas turbine installation. A compressor is interposed between the engine and the turbine installation so as to receive directly the exhaust gases from the piston engine and thereby prevent the development of a back pressure upon the exhaust system.
