GAZ turbo-jet prototype realized in the 1954 by A. Smolin in order to win the absolute record of max speed about the cars (held by the Americans, 694 km/h). The turbine engine was derived even from a jet MIG-17, with a power of 2700 hp on the aeronautical version. The machine was tested by the driver M. Metelev, with the obligation to not exceed the 300 km/h (waiting for better tyres for the high speeds), but it was surely capable of much more than 300 km/h...unfortunately, logistic problems (and also an accident, although not grave) stopped the challenge.

There are several sources online but once home I'll check a very reliable source: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=25354.0

In the meantime, 1954 ГАЗ-ТР stands for 1954 GAZ-TR.
Is 'Arrow' the missing part?
