Very cool!
Why are the T607's exhausts so strangely shaped? Is it turbine-powered?

[Matra et Alpine]

2 1/2 litre V8

VERY short headers too, wonder if they were using the aero of the car to draw the exhast gasses ? or to reduce drag by altering the break away at the rear ?

Those tubes combine engine exhaust and engine cooling air outlet. (Engines were air-cooled). Cooling air flow was enhanced by this method - have a look at the images.

ah got you, nice pics Jaromull.
Use the exhaust speed to draw air

Wonderful pics, jaromull... some of those aren't even pictured on the Tatra portal. Would really like full ID on each if that's possible! :)

O.K., I will add some data.
Images are named by the type and year of production.

Splendid, are all cars in ready condition? Some of them I have seen elsewhere, but I guess not everything can move.
Here are some shots of the T603 "turbo". with an explanation of the system. A replica of the original car was driven at the Goodwood Revival last year.

I asked the same question there to be told that almost all exhibits are complete and able to run.
This museum is worth visiting - you can take a snap of anything without any problem. It includes some AFVs, some trucks, engines and other parts, too.
