This time, one of the world's most forward-thinking entrepreneurs is pairing his newest automotive masterpiece with the legacy of the world's greatest auto race. The Panoz Abruzzi "Spirit of Le Mans" broke cover today at the Circuit de La Sarthe, an appropriate venue for the world debut of a ground-breaking automobile with a very appropriate delivery and acquisition program for its customers. "This is culmination of equal parts time, effort and dreams," said Panoz, founder of the Panoz Motor Sports Group. "The Panoz brand always has prided itself on hand-building and delivering an exotic automobile and experience to our customers. Our new offering takes this to a completely new level." The Abruzzi "Spirit of Le Mans" is more than a technological masterpiece from Panoz Auto Development (PAD), based in Hoschton, Ga. It represents a new chapter in automotive production and delivery, tied into the world's most demanding auto race. The super sports car will be offered as a strictly limited edition. Only 81 Abruzzi "Spirit of Le Mans" vehicles will ever be produced, corresponding to the number of Le Mans 24 Hour contests between the inception of the race in 1923 and the race to be held in 2013. Abruzzi: The Car The hand-built Abruzzi "Spirit of Le Mans" is a unique, front-engine, rear-transaxle and rear-radiator super sports car - road-legal in Europe and many countries of Asia, the Middle East and South America. The powertrain will deliver 600-plus HP with 590 ft.-lbs. of torque. Advanced design and aerodynamics offer astounding downforce and road-holding. Performance is just one facet that sets the Abruzzi apart from other exotics. It also breaks new ground in environmental design and construction starting with the unprecedented implementation of the R.E.A.M.S.® - Recyclable Energy Absorbing Matrix System - body system that offers environmental, performance and structural advantages like no other automobile body system on the planet. Never used before on any road-going automobile, the multi-layer composite system is lighter than carbon fiber yet equally strong. Unlike carbon fiber however, it is dent-resistant, shatter-proof and recyclable. Abruzzi also introduces TRIFECTACOOLING® technology. In addition to a normal high-efficiency radiator, there are stage two and stage three systems that lower coolant temperature on both the inflow to and the outflow from the radiator. "These are advancements that will open up a new era of automotive design," Panoz said. "Dating back to our first road car - the AIV Roadster - PAD has been a believer in efficient construction and design. This philosophy continues with our Abruzzi." Abruzzi: The Experience The Panoz Abruzzi harkens back to a day where drivers would pilot their cars to Le Mans, race it twice around the clock then drive back home. It essentially captures the "Spirit of Le Mans" with a never-before-seen acquisition program that sets a new standard for personalization and delivery. Given the roots of Panoz's automotive dreams, it is only appropriate that the Abruzzi "Spirit of Le Mans" will be delivered to its owners at the famed Circuit de la Sarthe, shipped directly there from the Panoz factory. Each automobile will be linked to a specific Le Mans 24 Hour race, with the chassis number also containing that specific race date and the initials of the winning drivers and the history of that year. Professional drivers will instruct owners in driving the car on the Bugatti Circuit at Le Mans. Service and repairs also will be attended to at the ACO facilities of the Circuit 24 Hours of Le Mans. New vehicle owners also will be invited to the 24 Hours of Le Mans as guests of the ACO and Panoz at the ACO's hospitality facilities in the "Model Sportif" at the circuit. New owners also will have the unique opportunity to drive a parade lap of the full 8.3-mile circuit at that year's event. During the Le Mans race week a "Spirit of Le Mans" reception will be held at the clubhouse of the famed Golf Des 24 Heuers in the historic town of Arnage. The new owners for that year will be the guests of the ACO officials and past "Spirit of Le Mans" award winners such as Jacky Ickx and Derek Bell. "Being associated with the ACO and Le Mans is something very special to me," Panoz said. "Being able to stand side-by-side with the heroes and legends of Le Mans gives me a sense of appreciation and passion for this grand event. I felt it was important to give our customers the same experience, and I am grateful to our partners at the ACO for helping make this happen." Panoz Auto Development produces leading-edge, fully certified automobiles and is best known for the first US-manufactured AIV (Aluminum Intensive Vehicle) - the Panoz AIV Roadster. The Panoz Esperante body and chassis also extensively employs aluminum for performance, safety and efficiency. The Panoz Esperante GTLM earned world-famous stature as a race car by winning the GT2 category at both the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring and the 24 Hours of Le Mans in a single year - 2006.</div>

The Ferrari Wireless GT Cockpit 430 Scuderia Edition features resembles is a cockpit ensemble that includes a built-in wheel and pedal set that will work on PS3 and a PC. The wireless system is compatible with the PlayStation 3 and PC (Xbox fans are left stranded by the side of the road), but if you thought the actual Scuderia was expensive, the 23-pound Thrustmaster setup will set you back $250. For starters, the whole setup is wireless. Plug the 2.4 GHz receiver into the USB port of a PC or PS3, and you'll be driving in no time. No pesky cables to trip over or wear out. We're also assuming it sends the standard peripheral signals Windows and PS3 games understand, which would make it compatible with any well-developed racing game. Aside from brake and accelerator pedals, the paddle shifters and buttons built into the steering wheel provide a pretty comprehensive control suite. <center><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigJhmh9BPWzWr2uR5Mdw_6fuGhfIjYidLFjqYG53VCUI7jdNUzTmhbD2ccMtRB52SHIt-KO7ZoCbwpe_N0HAMO092DfFOdmnHYbip9ah_VBBduTfNS8Cao_GEppapt6T65T26VzN5IonY/s1600/thrustmaster-ferrari-cockpit-folded.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="Thurstmaster Ferrari Wireless GT Cockpit 430 Scuderia Edition" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479960409022479522" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigJhmh9BPWzWr2uR5Mdw_6fuGhfIjYidLFjqYG53VCUI7jdNUzTmhbD2ccMtRB52SHIt-KO7ZoCbwpe_N0HAMO092DfFOdmnHYbip9ah_VBBduTfNS8Cao_GEppapt6T65T26VzN5IonY/s200/thrustmaster-ferrari-cockpit-folded.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 130px; height: 90px;" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3Rhdoxt3Gp7gWEDPMRB1cTmdTVUJU0dSYrbeMRRtxd52n7t4AVYjs8ismo34jRHvLcxncifFpEannobX4hwjio-Uy9PDWdwC3vXNt593jp-xU8HjO5E1jQnk7yvrBS9GTIwJ2TCKh-ic/s1600/lifestylecokpit.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="Thurstmaster Ferrari Wireless GT Cockpit 430 Scuderia Edition" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479960325642134386" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3Rhdoxt3Gp7gWEDPMRB1cTmdTVUJU0dSYrbeMRRtxd52n7t4AVYjs8ismo34jRHvLcxncifFpEannobX4hwjio-Uy9PDWdwC3vXNt593jp-xU8HjO5E1jQnk7yvrBS9GTIwJ2TCKh-ic/s200/lifestylecokpit.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 130px; height: 90px;" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbaOAbfV14YjZYP4hMYHmBg9kHlyj61OO0vqETziakgKU0Kk6VV4DBoaTsxM6PFh3AeHINyqB4eajhKrvV0_cMmHguoJ7MUiCp3qCGcPx2FmUezVoKSGUrwxOo2T1fn8ZFcVWW6Idw5ZI/s1600/cockpitzoom.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="Thurstmaster Ferrari Wireless GT Cockpit 430 Scuderia Edition" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479960169965606546" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbaOAbfV14YjZYP4hMYHmBg9kHlyj61OO0vqETziakgKU0Kk6VV4DBoaTsxM6PFh3AeHINyqB4eajhKrvV0_cMmHguoJ7MUiCp3qCGcPx2FmUezVoKSGUrwxOo2T1fn8ZFcVWW6Idw5ZI/s200/cockpitzoom.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 130px; height: 90px;" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnbZkINBfuItt0usYZYFmgSfcVLhH7E7xydLfsMYVlWq_DAaMwjHto7_nMIAGtX0jMLEpLwpHIbQkzn3opLdC0TcjZCfSGN4SPUyH2CwqlkMdr0bEYNS2fv-M_ZhaSuojYXgggB631WWs/s1600/thrustmaster-ferrari-cockpit-productalone.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="Thurstmaster Ferrari Wireless GT Cockpit 430 Scuderia Edition" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479960049170832242" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnbZkINBfuItt0usYZYFmgSfcVLhH7E7xydLfsMYVlWq_DAaMwjHto7_nMIAGtX0jMLEpLwpHIbQkzn3opLdC0TcjZCfSGN4SPUyH2CwqlkMdr0bEYNS2fv-M_ZhaSuojYXgggB631WWs/s200/thrustmaster-ferrari-cockpit-productalone.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 130px; height: 90px;" /></a> </center> <center><object height="382" width="600"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/W94RIY4OO7w&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/W94RIY4OO7w&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="382" width="600"></embed></object></center> Press Release: Thrustmaster Unleashes Real Racing Power with Ferrari Wireless GT Cockpit 430 Scuderia Edition Thrustmaster has created the ultimate cockpit that puts you in the driver's seat of your favorite racing games New York, NY - (May 26, 2010) - Thrustmaster, the innovative PC and console accessory brand, unveils its newest gaming accessory release: a pre-equipped, streamlined, Ferrari-licensed cockpit, that's foldable and ready to be set up anywhere.

Model Range On-the-road Price Combined MPG CO2 Emissions 308 Millesim 1.4 VTi 98 £16,245.00 43.46 149 308 Millesim 1.6 VTi 120 £16,745.00 43.46 155 308 Millesim HDi 90 £17,495.00 62.70 120 308 Millesim HDi 110 £18,245.00 62.70 120 All models also benefit from the already comprehensive standard specification of the 308 which includes: ABS, electronic brake force distribution (EBFD), emergency brake assist (EBA), driver airbag, passenger airbag, side airbags, curtain airbags, electronic stability programme (ESP), remote control central locking with deadlocks, electric front and rear windows, radio / single CD player, air-conditioning, front fog lights…. With the 308 Millisem, owners will also be able to play all their latest music by simply connecting a portable MP3 player or iPod directly to the car. The Peugeot Connect USB & Bluetooth consists of a USB or jack plug socket to connect a portable music player and full Bluetooth phone connectivity. Therefore, the driver can make and receive phone calls completely hands-free on any Bluetooth compatible phone. Controls on the steering column also allow the driver to operate both a Bluetooth phone and portable music player without taking hands off the steering wheel. For the petrol versions, the 308 Millesim is equipped with Peugeot’s class leading VTi petrol engines. Two engine options are available, a new Euro 5 1.4 litre 98 bhp, or a 1.6 litre 120 bhp version. Both engines benefit from Peugeot’s particularly innovative VTi technology which improves the engine’s overall efficiency, significantly reducing fuel consumption (particularly in phases of partial load) and, therefore, CO2 emissions. For HDi diesel versions, the 308 Millesim is powered by Peugeot’s 1.6 litre 90 and 110 bhp engines, both acknowledged for their driveability, performance and low running costs (62.7 mpg in the combined cycle and zero vehicle excise duty). An additive based diesel particulate filter system (FAP) is fitted as standard on the HDi 110 bhp engine. Inside, the 308 Millesim interior is perfectly in keeping with the exterior styling. The inclined design of the fascia panel helps to accentuate the feeling of space and the use of high quality materials (both to look at and to touch) creates an impression of quality seldom encountered in this level of vehicle. The 308 Millesim benefits from Peugeot’s extensive experience and the latest technological advances to ensure safety of the highest order at all levels. A five star EuroNCAP rating is combined with the standard fitment of: ESP, six airbags, five three-point inertia reel seat belts with a “fasten seat belt” warning system, front and rear head restraints designed to limit whiplash, three Isofix mountings to accommodate a child seat – one at the front and two in the rear outer seats and an electrically operated child safety system which simply and safely locks the rear doors and disables the electric rear windows. The 308 Millesim is launched in the UK in June priced from £16,245.00 on-the-road for the 1.4 VTi 98 version. All models ordered in June also come with a free Nokia 5230 smartphone with inbuilt satellite navigation with free future updates and an in-car mounting kit.
