The Good: Raw speed, Z06-style performance enhancements, removable roof panel The Bad: Some cheesy interior elements The Bottom Line: An exclusive performance vehicle at a bargain price “If you haven't driven a Corvette in recent years, you may be shocked by how well the Grand Sport performs. The Corvette has evolved to the point where it's a genuine rival to far more expensive vehicles, such as the Porsche 911.” The Corvette Team Cuts and Pastes Up an Awesome New Model from Existing Parts. By scrounging up some of their best performance hardware, they've managed to cobble up a new car that just might be cool enough to warrant resurrection of the storied Grand Sport moniker.

  • Audi TDI Power Helps Overtaking
    Communications Motorsport Jürgen Pippig Eva-Maria Veith Telephone: +49 (0)841 89 34200 Telephone: +49 (0)841 89 33922 E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] 9 May 2008 Audi TDI Power helps overtaking • Fourth round of American Le Mans Series close to Salt Lake City • Audi R10 TDI with torque advantage • Diesel sportscar continues to make headlines Ingolstadt – Three races, two wins: The results of the Audi R10 TDI in the 2008 American Le Mans Series 2008 are impressive. Boosted by two overall victories on the street circuits in St Petersburg and Long Beach, the Audi Sport North America team comes as championship leaders to Salt Lake City, Utah, where Audi’s diesel sportscar has already played a leading roll twice. Emanuele Pirro in particular made the headlines in the previous two years. In 2006, the Italian kept Lucas Luhr, at that time sill at the wheel of a lighter LM P2 Porsche, at bay during the dramatic closing stages and crossed the finish line as winner by a mere 0.318 seconds. Pirro managed quite probably the most spectacular start of the year at Miller Motorsports Park in 2007: Starting in eighth position with the Audi R10 TDI, he stormed into the lead before the first corner after overtaking every competitor, who had started in front of him, on the long start-finish straight. The sensational manoeuvre was viewed frequently on many Internet based video portals afterwards. It was yet another impressive demonstration of the performance of Audi TDI Technology, which is long since established in Europe and is also launched on the American market at the end of 2008.

This product was created specifi cally to alert the driver to a potentially imminent IMS bearing failure. This deceptively “simple” device, containing no moving parts, applies concepts and technologies fi rst employed in the aircraft industry decades ago. Designed to work in most water-cooled cars the display integrates seamlessly with your Porsche’s interior. Installation required is just a few extra hours in conjunction with your next oil change. While not infallible, it is quite possible that this device, when used in concert with a conscientious maintenance program can help provide the peace of mind and stress relief that has been so elusive to the many water-cooled Porsche drivers affl icted with “WCPDPTSD”. With worldwide demand for this revolutionary new product being as high as it is, we have decided to inventory a number of these units. Please give us a call or drop us a note if you have any questions regarding this or any other Porsche related topic, or if you would like to schedule an appointment to have us install one for you.
