Perhaps you're thinking of a "Grand Turing Machine".  That would be an automobile that is both extremely fast and extremely comfortable,  that tells you where you want to go...

Seriously, for a definition of the Turing machine, see

Hohnny,

What is a "Turing Machine"? I know who Alan Turing was and Ive heard of
the Turing test (and sometimes I'm convinced that's what the LUG is),
but I haven't heard this term before.

Thanks!
