Aero-engined car

Have you ever seen a big airplane with big engines on it? Well, a car can have those kinds of engines too, and we call it an aero-engined car.

When we talk about engines, we're talking about the thing inside a car that helps it move. These aero-engines are different because they're much bigger and more powerful than the engine in a regular car.

The reason we call them aero-engines is that they're often taken from airplanes. Planes need really strong engines to help them fly, and these engines can be repurposed to make a car extra fast.

When someone builds an aero-engined car, they usually take one or more of these airplane engines and attach them to the car's frame. It's like putting a really strong muscle in the car so that it can go really fast.

But, because these engines are so powerful, they're not always easy to control. That's why aero-engined cars are usually driven by experienced drivers who know how to handle them safely.

So, in summary, an aero-engined car is a special kind of car that has really big and powerful airplane engines inside of it, making it go super fast, but it often requires an experienced driver to handle it safely.
