A gas turbine engine will usually yield more power by weight than a piston engine. Main downside is that it can't be throttled very well. Energy efficiency isn't all that good to start with, and will drop right down if it has to be operated outside its optimum range.

How does a jet engine powered car work and what are its advantages over traditional combustion engine vehicles?

A jet engine powered car works by using a gas turbine engine to generate thrust, which propels the vehicle forward. The engine burns fuel to create hot gases that are expelled at high speeds, creating the necessary force to move the car. The advantages of a jet engine powered car over traditional combustion engine vehicles include higher power-to-weight ratio, faster acceleration, smoother operation, and potentially lower emissions. Additionally, jet engines are more efficient at high speeds, making them ideal for high-performance vehicles.

Why free turbine rotate in opposite direction?

Some CT based generators have 2 gas turbines, axially in-line, with a double ended generator/alternator centered between them. The Pratt & Whitney model calls this a Twin-Pac. In this arrangement one Free Turbine requires a clockwise rotation, and the other Free Turbine requires a counter-clockwise rotation. Both may be coupled directly to the generator or via an over-running clutch for synchronous condenser operations.
