Cars: GM Foundation Celebrates Spirit of Innovation Through Benjamin Franklin Exhibit
GM Foundation Celebrates Spirit of Innovation Through Benjamin Franklin Exhibit at the National Archives Experience
Foundation for the National Archives Receives $100,000 GM Foundation Grant
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2, 2012 -- The General Motors Foundation has donated $100,000 to the Foundation for the National Archives in support of the National Archives Experience's upcoming exhibition exploring the life and accomplishments of Benjamin Franklin.
The grant will be used to provide support and educational outreach for "Benjamin Franklin: In Search of a Better World," which opens at the Lawrence F. O'Brien Gallery of the National Archives Building in Washington, DC, on February 10, 2012, and runs through May 6, 2012.
"Benjamin Franklin's legacy of innovation, scientific studies, and entrepreneurship embodies the very spirit that has driven the automotive industry for more than a hundred years," said Bob Ferguson, chairman, GM Foundation. "The exhibit is sure to inspire our next generation of leaders and inventors destined to develop technologies that will advance our nation's global competitiveness."
Organized by The Benjamin Franklin Tercentenary and redesigned for a national tour by the Minnesota Historical Society, the exhibition explores how Franklin helped found a new nation and cultivated the character of its society, leaving a legacy of scientific, civic, and political achievement. The exhibit examines Franklin's background, his self-education, his philosophical and religious beliefs, and their influence in his life.
"We are so pleased to have the General Motors Foundation partner with us on this exhibition celebrating Benjamin Franklin and American innovation," said Thora Colot, executive director of the Foundation. "Our new focus on STEM education and programming through the use of primary sources from the National Archives works perfectly with the GM Foundation's emphasis on promoting science, technology, engineering, and math education."
The National Archives will encourage visitors to take a new look at this Founding Father by showcasing some of its own original Franklin records:
The Ledger of the General Post Office of the United States, from August 1775 to October 1776
The Treaty of Paris of 1783, ending the American Revolution
A printed version of the U.S. Constitution from September 17, 1787
The Continental Congress Journal of June 11, 1776, appointing Franklin, along with Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, to prepare a "declaration of independency"
A January 4, 1777 letter from Franklin to the Continental Congress's Secret Correspondence Committee on his diplomatic efforts at the French court
The July 5, 1787 Journal of the Constitutional Convention, detailing the compromise by Franklin and others concerning Congressional representation, often referred to as "the Great Compromise"
"We are thrilled that the General Motors Foundation will serve as lead supporter for this exciting exhibition," said Foundation Chair and President A'Lelia Bundles. "This generous donation will help us fund expenses associated with hosting and promoting the exhibition featuring one of the most influential Americans in history."
The automotive industry has historically served as a technology innovator spurring scientific advancements that have touched our everyday lives and bolstered our nation's manufacturing strength and leadership. GM's first patent was awarded 90 years ago and today the number of GM patents exceeds 30,000.
Accompanying the exhibition will be a series of free public programs at the National Archives' William G. McGowan Theater. The Archives Store at the National Archives Building will also feature Benjamin Franklin-related products and books during the exhibition.

Cars: 2012 Mazda MX-5 Miata Special Edition Makes North American Debut in Chicago
2012 Mazda MX-5 Miata Special Edition Makes North American Debut in Chicago
Limited Production of 450 Models for Exclusive Two-Seat Roadster
IRVINE, Calif., Feb. 2, 2012 -- Mazda North American Operations (MNAO) will unveil its 2012 MX-5 Miata Special Edition at the upcoming 2012 Chicago Auto Show. The limited-run model features a black-only Power Retractable Hard Top (PRHT) – the first time a non-body-colored hard top is available in North America – as well as other exclusivities such as two new exterior colors, new 17-inch black gunmetal alloy wheels, black exterior accents, black heated leather seats and piano black interior finishes.
The MX-5 Miata is the world's best-selling two-seat roadster with more than 900,000 produced, and made its global debut at the Chicago Auto Show in 1989. The MX-5 Special Edition continues the sports car's history of being a dynamically-engineered, enthusiast-approved roadster whose price doesn't discriminate and whose luxuries are not stripped.
Available with either the six-speed manual transmission with short-throw shifter or six-speed Sport automatic transmission with steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters, the Special Edition model is based off the Grand Touring model. Both Premium and Suspension packages will be standard on the MX-5 Special Edition and include features such as a Bluetooth® hands-free phone system, SIRIUS® Satellite Radio, Bilstein shocks and a sport-tuned suspension.
Also on display at the 2012 Chicago Auto Show will be:
Turbo2 – Unveiled at the SEMA Show held in Las Vegas this past November, this concept is the brainchild of The Autobarn, which owns two Mazda dealerships in the Greater Chicago area. Here, a "Zoom-Zoom Concentrated" Mazda2 is outfitted with an extra-strength component in the form of a MAZDASPEED3 MZR 2.3-liter Direct Injection Spark Ignition (DISI) turbo engine. Consider the Turbo2 a subcompact cat that doesn't purr – it growls.
Dempsey Racing No. 40 GRAND-AM Road Racing Race Car – Most recently seen Zoom-Zoom-ing across the SPEED Channel's live coverage of the 50th Anniversary Rolex 24 at Daytona last month, the No. 40 car – piloted by Patrick Dempsey, Joe Foster, Charles Espenlaub, Tom Long and Charlie Putman – made its third consecutive Top 10 finish in the annual 24-hour race, besting competitors in a 46-car field which included BMW, Chevrolet, Ferrari, Ford and Porsche.
1990 Miata – A first-generation Mazda Miata, which made its debut in Chicago in 1989. This vehicle has 3,688 original miles and is the 15th Miata off the line.
Star Mazda Championship Open-Wheel Race Car – The Star Mazda Championship presented by Goodyear is a major part of the Mazda Road to Indy. Rising motorsports stars from around the world compete for prizes valued at $1.5 million, including a scholarship to move up and compete in the 2013 Firestone Indy Lights series.

Cars: New 2012 Jeep® Grand Cherokee SRT8® SUVs Will Sport Ferrari Red for Form
New 2012 Jeep® Grand Cherokee SRT8® SUVs Will Sport Ferrari Red for Formula One Stars Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa
AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Feb. 2, 2012 --
Custom-built versions of the high-performance Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 feature exclusive Rosso Corsa colored exteriors, red leather interiors and additional Ferrari looks pay tribute to the two Ferrari 'ambassadors'
Vehicles are the first two 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 models to be delivered in Europe where the introduction of the high-performance model of the Jeep flagship SUV will start in May
Both vehicles were prepared by Chrysler Group's Street and Racing Technology (SRT) design and engineering teams
Today, two specially prepared models of the new 2012 Jeep® Grand Cherokee SRT8® – the most powerful and best handling Jeep vehicle ever – were delivered to Scuderia Ferrari Formula One drivers Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa at the Fiorano circuit in Maranello, Italy.
The identically built vehicles were handed over to the two star drivers by Beth Paretta, Director of Marketing and Operations – SRT Brand and Motorsports, Chrysler Group LLC.
Each Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 features an aggressive exterior look with an SRT-exclusive design, which adds classic Ferrari brand styling cues and the unmistakable Rosso Corsa signature color.
The iconic, seven-slot Jeep front grille is painted matte black and features custom red inserts. A race-inspired, offset black driver's stripe with a white accent customizes the front and rear bumpers, hood, the entire surface of the roof and the rear spoiler. Additional exclusive details include a matte black painted dual-pane sunroof, Carbon fiber mirror caps and a gloss black rear light bar with red accents on the Jeep logo. To complete the unique exterior trim of the two custom-built SRT8 models, the Italian flag has been painted on the underside of the rear spoiler: a tribute to the Ferrari F150 degree Formula One car.
Ride height has been lowered 1.5 inches and both vehicles ride on unique forged aluminium, 20-inch wheels painted black giving them an even more aggressive stance.
In line with the vehicle's custom exterior, the interior cabin is enhanced by exclusive Ferrari Red leather inserts on the seats with sculpted bolsters. Also the door trim panels, the central armrest and the instrument panel boast exclusive red leather. The leather-wrapped SRT8 steering wheel with mounted paddle shifters features red contrasting stitching. The unique instrument cluster features yellow dials which give the cabin the look of the GT cars produced in Maranello.

Cars: Power-packed Lexus Exhibit Bound for 2012 Chicago Auto Show
Power-packed Lexus Exhibit Bound for 2012 Chicago Auto Show
CHICAGO, Jan. 30, 2012 -- In line with its new brand attitude, Lexus is looking to make a 'super' impression on Chicagoans at this year's 2012 Chicago Auto Show.
For the first time, at any auto show, Lexus will be displaying four of its renowned LFA super cars. Packing 552 horsepower in a V10 engine, the LFA is considered one of the world's greatest performance vehicles.
"The LFA has become a true halo vehicle for Lexus and its appearance exudes power and technical ingenuity," said Paul Rohovsky, National Manager – Lexus Engagement Marketing. "This quartet of super cars will serve as the center piece of an exhibit where visitors can witness Lexus' ongoing design and brand transformation through many other dynamic vehicles."
Among these other world-class vehicles is the all-new 2013 Lexus GS. Of late, this sedan has become synonymous with the brand's redefined image and new evocative styling. The GS 350, along with its hybrid variant, the GS 450h, and optional F Sport package, plays a vital role in conveying the boldness that customers can expect from a re-energized Lexus. For tuning enthusiasts, Lexus will also display the Project GS F Sport by Five Axis. This highly-modified GS originally debuted at the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show in Las Vegas.
Further proof of the brand's evolving design direction will be found in the LF-LC sport coupe, a concept vehicle that debuted at the 2012 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS). Crafted by Toyota's Calty design studio in Newport Beach, Calif., the LF-LC's clean lines emphasize motion, creating a distinctive look for this futuristic vehicle. The LF-LC was named best concept vehicle at NAIAS this year, as selected by a jury of past and present auto designers.
Another vehicle bound for Chicago is the updated 2013 Lexus LX full-size sport utility vehicle, due out later this year. The LX has earned the distinction of being amongst the best vehicles in its class since its introduction more than 15 years ago. This venerable vehicle will be flanked by other popular SUVs in the Lexus lineup, the RX and GX.
Interactivity was instrumental in the creation of this year's exhibit in Chicago, as evidenced by an area dubbed "Engineering Amazing." This gallery has several interactive displays that illustrate Lexus' endless pursuit of perfection though engineering expertise and craftsmanship.
The Lexus exhibit was designed and constructed by George P. Johnson of Auburn Hills, Mich.

Cars: One Millionth Chrysler Pentastar V-6 Engine Produced at Trenton Engine
One Millionth Chrysler Pentastar V-6 Engine Produced at Trenton Engine
AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Jan. 27, 2012 --
State-of-the-art Chrysler V-6 engine reaches milestone in just 18 months
Pentastar engine now offered across 11 Chrysler Group models
Truly diversified engine is available in front-, rear-, and all-wheel drive models including new Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger with eight-speed transmission
Just 18 months following the start of production as the standard engine for the 2010 Jeep® Grand Cherokee, the one millionth Pentastar V-6 engine was assembled today at the Chrysler Group's Trenton (Mich.) Engine Assembly Plant.
"The Pentastar engine is a cornerstone of Chrysler Group's effort to reinvent its business model with world class quality products. This award-winning engine is proof that the Company is transforming its products to meet the needs of our customers," said Brian Harlow, Vice President, Head of Powertrain Manufacturing, Chrysler Group LLC. "To build one million of anything, and in an impressively short amount of time, is a significant achievement. But to do it with such a high degree of quality is a testament to our skilled and dedicated workforce at both Trenton South and Saltillo engine plants."
The 60-degree, V-6 engine, the most advanced six-cylinder ever produced by Chrysler, is now available in 11 vehicles across the Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep® lineup and available in front-, rear-, and all-wheel-drive configurations. Depending on the vehicle, engines are tuned for specific applications with horsepower ranging from 283 on front-wheel-drive models and up to 305 horsepower on the sporty Dodge Challenger. The all-aluminum engine is standard or available on the Chrysler, 200, 300 and Town and Country; Dodge Avenger, Challenger, Charger, Durango, Journey and Caravan.
For 2012, the 3.6-liter engine also is standard with Jeep® Wrangler and provides 285 horsepower – an increase of 40 percent over last year's model. Torque is up 10 percent to 260 lb. ft. and highway fuel efficiency is improved to 21 miles per gallon (mpg) on the 2012 model.
Engineered to meet a variety of requirements, the Pentastar V-6 engine also is the exclusive engine used with the new eight-speed automatic transmission on the Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 models. The new engine and transmission combination deliver 31 mpg on the highway.
Just recently, the Pentastar V-6 repeated as one of the "10 Best Engines" following evaluation and testing by editors of Ward's Automotive magazine.
Despite the impressive gains in power, the engine is designed to run on regular 87 octane gasoline. It also is capable of running on alternate fuels including E85.
Designed for the future
Since its introduction, the new engine has replaced six legacy V-6 engines ranging from 2.7-liter up to 4.0-liters in the Chrysler Group LLC product portfolio. Overall, the new Pentastar has enabled Chrysler's Powertrain organization to reduce major engine components from 189 parts to just 32, greatly simplifying the build process and improving quality.
Some parts, including exhaust manifolds, have completely disappeared by virtue of being cast directly into the cylinder head. Previously, 32 different exhaust manifolds were used on a variety of V-6 engines. Upper- and lower- intake assemblies, which accounted for 21 and 11 different part numbers (respectively), have been reduced to two upper and two lower assemblies.
Camshaft variations have dropped from 14 to four and just two fuel-rail assemblies are now required rather than the previous 14.
Weight reductions are equally impressive. Fully dressed, the new Pentastar V-6 is 94 pounds lighter than the 3.7-liter engine it replaced on the Jeep Grand Cherokee. Similarly, while larger in displacement, the Pentastar is 42 pounds lighter than the 3.5-liter it replaced in the Chrysler 300.
The engine also is extremely efficient with advanced emission technology.

Cars: Podium Raceway Hawaii Races to Their One-Year Anniversary
Podium Raceway Hawaii Races to Their One-Year Anniversary
HONOLULU, Jan. 27, 2012 -- It has been one year since Podium Raceway Hawaii introduced the newest, thrilling activity on Oahu and celebrates their first anniversary this month. As part of Podium's Anniversary Month, there will be giveaways as well as events the last weekend of January – the 27th through the 29th.
Podium owners and partners saw a need for a new adventure, like nothing Hawaii had seen before, and decided to open the only indoor electric kart racing track in Kapolei. Finding a decommissioned military space, it was the perfect opportunity to transform the area into a brand new, state-of-the-art kart racing facility.
"As a motocross racer on the mainland, moving to Hawaii and finding nothing like it really motivated me. My partners and I had a vision once we saw this dilapidated building and immediately saw how we could turn kart racing into a reality here," says Mark Jeffries, Podium Raceway Hawaii.
Embraced by Hawaii residents and visitors alike, Podium has made it successfully through their first year with over 60,000 racers to date. Overwhelmed by the community support, Podium plans to continue their public outreach and involvement through Race for the Cause events that will benefit the local community.
"The biggest surprise was how well we were received by locals as well as tourists. Folks in Hawaii really love kart racing and we look forward to continue bringing a mainland quality experience to Oahu," says Warren Cole of Podium Raceway Hawaii.
The 44,000 square foot facility features a quarter-mile, indoor track with 45 electric karts. The high-performance, European, electric racing karts are emission free, environmentally friendly and allow racers to go up to 45 mph. Up to 10 drivers are able to compete side by side in Hawaii's fast lane with a track that boasts hairpin turns and straight-aways.

Just as a fashion designer creates haute couture works of art, Mercedes-Benz creates one-of-a-kind bespoke vehicles out of the highest-quality paints, leathers and trims. The ML63 AMG on display is the ideal example showcasing the perfect combination of pure performance and chic design roaring with 518 horsepower hand-built engine and an ultra luxe leather interior, featuring hand sewn cross-stitching as well as an optional carbon fiber engine cover and red brake calipers, making this vehicle a fascinating fashion statement.
The display will also be the backdrop for an exclusive invite-only Fashion's Night In event on Thursday, February 9 th, to kick off Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. Invited guests will take part in a Mercedes-Benz DIY Style Studio to make their own bespoke fashion accessories out of luxe vehicle materials. Naeem Khan will make a special appearance along with event hosts, Nicola Ehrenberg-Uhlig, Head of Conceptual Design Team Color & Trim for Mercedes-Benz, Erica Domesek of P.S. I made this... and accessories designer Paige Novick.
The Naeem Khan runway show is being held on Tuesday, February 14th at 2pm in the Theatre.
Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week is taking place in New York City at Lincoln Center from February 9-16, 2012 with more than 80 designers presenting their Fall 2012 collections including Naeem Khan, Diane von Furstenberg, Carolina Herrera, Vera Wang, Michael Kors, BCBGMAXAZRIA, Rebecca Taylor, Reem Acra, Narciso Rodriguez, Nicole Miller, Charlotte Ronson and Betsey Johnson.
