Automatic? That would be a DSG (dual sport gearbox) which is really a manual that you don't do the shifting on. I personally don't like them but I've only driven them in gassers. Anyway there is a service interval (40,000 miles) on them and like most VW autos they're very sensitive to it.

Problem set you need to consider: 1. Turbine engines do not "idle".. what you would equate to "idle" would be 70% RPM. Below that, the burner flame front and balance of air flow through the engine becomes unstable. Operational power for small turbines comes on in the 100,000 RPM range which

90% of such a proposal would be a materials problem. Advantages are that we're only talking about maybe 20HP, so the diameter of the thing would be small, making the physical (but not thermal) stresses more modest. There would be LOTS of details to work out; the development bill would be large.
