Rocket engine
Chevrolet introduced a turbocharged version of the engine for the 1962 model year. Development of this version was done by engineers James Brafford and Robert Thoreson, under the oversight of Bob Benzinger, who had become chief engine designer for the Corvair in 1959. The turbocharged Corvair was released one month after the turbocharged Turbo-Rocket engine in the Oldsmobile F-85 Jetfire, making it just the second turbocharged car in volume production. This engine was not marketed under the "Turbo-Air" name, being listed initially as the "Super Charged Spyder" engine.
