That would be the "wuff-car"  AWD, turbine powered.

The car totally dominated the race the two years it
ran, only to fall out with gearbox problems near the end, both times.

The following year a subtle rules change made turbine engines
uncompetative-  Legend has it that the race officials didn't like it
becasue it was too quiet.. Didn't sound like a car and it sped passed you
with a gentle "wwwwufff"

It's on display at the Indy museum.
