Torvec Heads West
At the same time that Torvec continues to win race after race in its IsoTorque-equipped C5 Corvette driven by John Heinricy, Torvec representatives traveled west to California. They spent a week meeting with retail shops that would potentially sell IsoTorque differentials for Corvettes & Camaros this coming fall as part of Torvec’s aftermarket program. In addition to the aftermarket business, Torvec spent two days with Hyundai personnel discussing and evaluating the IsoTorque at its Irvine, California technical center and at its test track in the Mojave.
The aftermarket retailers, such as West Coast Corvettes & A&A Corvettes, were very impressed with the IsoTorque and what it could do for the performance, handing and safety of their customers’ cars. They believe our contemplated retail prices (to be announced this fall) are in line with the market and they look forward to working with us.
The meeting with Hyundai was also very successful. On our first day we met with numerous representatives at their relatively new Hyundai America Technical Center giving a formal presentation on the IsoTorque as well as a ride and drive around town in the IsoTorque equipped Genesis Coupe. The following day we made the 3 hour trek to Hyundai’s desert test track. Hard side by side testing was performed by Hyundai’s test drivers and both Torvec and Hyundai are pleased with the results. Consequently, both companies have decided to more ahead to the next level (the details of which unfortunately must be confidential for now). Additionally, photographs are strictly prohibited inside Hyundai’s facilities, but we can tell you that there are some nice KIA and Hyundai models that will be coming out.
As always we will try to keep you, our shareholders, informed as best we can when we can.
