\"Cartier<\/a><\/p>\n

The Coupe De Grace class at the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2013<\/a> is a fantastic Cartier Style Et Luxe category. We took a look at the collection of historically significant Grant Tourers! <\/p>\n

The concept 1954 Fiat Turbina is the undoubted highlight of this category. It is a one-off and aside from the awesome styling, it has a very special feature under the bonnet. It uses a gas turbine engine which produces 300hp at 22,000rpm and an alleged top speed in excess of 250km\/h. The Turbina held the record for lowest drag coefficient on an automobile (0.14) for 30 years. It also overheated a lot and used far too much fuel!<\/p>\n\r\n
