A low-cost, light-weight automotive power plant includes a turbine operating on a first shaft and a compressor operating on a second shaft, formed as an element separate from the first shaft. These shafts are arranged at an angle to the horizontal power transfer shaft operably connected to the wheels of the vehicle. An infinitely variable transmission transfers power from the turbine to the compressor, and an angular drive transfers power from the turbine to the power transfer shaft.
