In the UK I think it was the BMW 2002 turbo in the mid 70's !

Production automobile.
The first production turbocharged automobile engines came from General Motors in 1962.

Competition cars
The turbocharger first hit the automotive racing world in 1952 when Fred Agabashian in the diesel-powered Cummins Special qualified for pole position at the Indianapolis 500
