The Von Pair-Matched
Advantage: Regardless of brand,
identically configured shocks can generate widely varying damping
forces. All shocks are built with
manufacturing tolerances that make damping forces deviate from the design
target. Despite using good designs
and precision components, the best commercial shock manufactures accept
finished product tolerances that are typically +/-15%. That means that by luck of
the draw two new, "identical", tested-good shocks picked
from the shelf could vary in damping forces by up to 30%.
Cheap shocks can be much worse! Imagine the quirky, uneven
handling caused by left and right shocks that vary by
30%. This can cause an uneasy feeling of not being planted, a hard
to quantify sensation that the car just isn't "right" despite
seemingly having all the best parts and setup. The car doesn't
inspire driver confidence, and it doesn't go fast. Worse yet is the difficulty
of diagnosing these types of problems. Without access to a
computershock dyno, the suspension tuner is left groping in the
dark. Any serious suspension tuner
absolutely must have a computer shock dyno plot for
all shocks. This simply cannot be
over-emphasized. It doesn't matter if
your shocks are brand new, or freshly custom valved, or come from the
most reputable manufacturer, or the best-known shop - you MUST have a
computer shock dyno plots for your actual shocks (not a
sample from a similarly configured shock). Without the dyno plot,
you simply have no idea of what your shocks are doing, what
irregularities they may contain or conceal. Testing - Every
single Von shock is tested on our
computer shock dyno. The dyno plot is delivered along
with the shock. We keep the dyno plot in our database to
support you going forward. This dyno plot is used as a
baseline of comparison should we ever test your shocks to analyze
wear, damage, or help you diagnose handling quirks. The dyno plot
also let's us Pair-Match your shocks. Pair-Matched - Von shocks are
built in batches, and every single shock is tested on our
computershock dyno. Using the batch's dyno plots, we hand select
pairs that have similar performance curves. The shocks are then
delivered as matched pairs. Pair-matching
allows Von shocks to deliver performance consistency that is
unrivaled. You are assured that your shocks are tested-good and
will function as a pair to deliver matching damping
performance.

Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer
Mon, 07 Oct 2013An Iconic Sports Car, Restored to Seduce
I have been strapped behind the iconic Momo Prototipo steering wheel for a little more than an hour, all windows down as I carve my way up a rugged canyon during an unusually warm Southern California evening, and I am overwhelmed with emotion. My heart is pounding out of my chest, my breathing is heavy and my palms are sweaty because I am completely absorbed by this wondrous machine.
After waiting patiently for nearly four years, I am finally behind the wheel of a classic Porsche 911 restored, modified and tuned by Singer Vehicle Design. The vehicle that surrounds me never rolled off an automaker's assembly line in its current configuration, yet its physical appearance is timeless, build quality breathtaking and driving dynamics peerless.
Porsche 918 Spyder gets tiny recall for rear control arms
Tue, 09 Sep 2014As the recent US recall of a single Koenigsegg Agera shows, even low-production supercars aren't immune from safety campaigns. Now, there's another example that even the fastest cars can have their faults. The Porsche 918 Spyder is a pretty fantastic vehicle for its ability to mix hybrid fuel economy and incredible amounts of power, but Porsche has a problem on a few units of its halo model.
According to the recall document from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Porsche needs to inspect and possibly repair five 918s in the US because the rear axle control arms may break, which could cause a loss of control while driving. In the full defect notice, Porsche says that it first noticed the problem on June 26 when the parts failed during "heavy duty durability testing (extreme race conditions)" at the Nardo test track in Italy. It transported the components back to the company's lab for inspection, and on July 18 it issued a stop-sale to inspect the suspension parts on the supercar. The automaker also contacted owners by phone to warn them not to use the car on track, until repaired.
The affected 918s will be inspected, and if the cars have the bad parts, the control arms are will be replaced. Obviously, this will be done at no cost to owners. According to a Porsche spokesperson speaking to Autoblog, in addition to the five US cars potentially affected, there were 45 worldwide. All of the cars have now been checked.

Studiotorino shows new Cayman-based Moncenisio sports car
Mon, 24 Mar 2014While the recent bankruptcy of Bertone shows that it has become very difficult to be a coachbuilder today, it seems there is still a business case in creating unique bodies for premium vehicles. Case in point, Studiotorino a small, Italian coachbuilder that has been creating limited-edition cars since 2005. Its latest creation is the Moncenisio, which debuted as a prototype at the National Automobile Museum of Turin on March 21. It's named after the 1902 Susa-Moncenisio race in Italy, the first automotive hillclimb in the world.
The Moncenisio begins life as Porsche Cayman S, and each car will be built to order with a planned production run of 19 examples. The chassis, mechanicals and engine are all left untouched. The only thing that Studiotorino alters are the body panels and interior appointments. Prices start at at a heady 145,000 euros ($200,420 US), plus the cost of the donor vehicle.
Architect Daniele Gaglione penned the shape of the Moncenisio, taking inspiration from the 1963 Porsche 904. The sports coupes receive carbon fiber pieces that replace the front bumper, side panels and rear bumper. Studiotorino also covers the rear side windows with welded metal panels. The design is still clearly a Cayman, especially from the front, but the extended roof and support pillars create a new look from behind, which features a new exhaust treatment and rear spoiler. The interior receives leather upholstery on the engine compartment cover, the partition between the engine and seats, ceiling and A-pillars. Scroll down to view a walkaround of the Moncenisio and read the full press release about it.
