1956 Viberti Monotral Golden Dolphin bus


This was a one-off, presented at the Geneva Motor Show in 1956. According to the manufacturer it was fitted with a gas turbine engine producing 400 hp and was able to reach speeds up to 200 km/h, which unlike on a railway is probably not a speed that bus passengers would be too keen on experiencing. The drive to the rear wheels was said to be hydro-mechanical.
