The CN7 Proteus Bluebird weighed 4 tons and was built with an advanced aluminium honeycomb sandwich of immense strength, with fully independent suspension.
The car had 4 wheel drive, through 52 inch Dunlop wheels / tyres, air brakes as well as all round inboard disc brakes.
The CN7 (Campbell–Norris 7) was built by Motor Panels in Coventry, and was completed by the spring of 1960, and was powered by a Bristol-Siddeley Proteus free-turbine (turboshaft) engine of 4,450 shp (3,320 kW).
Power Plant
The Bristol-Siddeley Proteus was the Bristol Aeroplane Company's first successful gas-turbine engine design, a turboprop that delivered over 4,000 hp (3,000 kW).
The Proteus was a two spool, reverse flow gas turbine.
Because the turbine stages of the inner spool drove no compressor stages, but only the propeller, this engine is sometimes classified as a free turbine.
The engine, a Proteus 705, was specially modified to have a drive shaft at each end of the engine, to separate fixed ratio gearboxes on each axle.
Wheelbase
13 ft 6 in (4.11 m)
Length 30 ft (9.1 m)
Width 5 ft 6 in (1.68 m) Track front and rear
Kerb weight
8,064 lb (3,657.77 kg) - 8,960 lb (4,064.19 kg)
