TRANS AM’S GREATEST YEAR

“The 1970 season was the year that all of the stars would finally fall on the Trans Am series. With a serious racing effort from all four major automotive manufacturers—Ford, General Motors, Chrysler, and American Motors—and their backing of top-notch teams running Mustangs, Camaros, Javelins, Dodge Challengers, Plymouth Barracudas, and Pontiac Firebirds, the entry list was a spectator’s dream. With the factory teams fighting to contract the best available driving talent—including Parnelli Jones, George Follmer, Mark Donohue, Peter Revson, Sam Posey, Jim Hall, Ed Leslie, Vic Elford, Dan Gurney, Swede Savage, and Jerry Titus—it was truly a year in which at least 11 to 15 different drivers could potentially win any race on the 12-race schedule.” - Dave Friedman, Trans-Am: The Pony Car Wars, 1966–1972

Bud Moore Engineering became involved in the Trans Am series in 1967, with Lincoln-Mercury and the newly introduced Cougar model. Thanks to Moore’s long-time experience as a NASCAR crew chief and team owner, it was a natural connection. The two-car Cougar team under Moore’s leadership came within two points of winning the manufacturer’s championship. Unfortunately, the Mercury program lasted only one year, as Ford realized that its two teams (Mustang and Mercury) were equally competitive and running both was not cost effective. This success, however, led to the Ford Motor Company’s support, with Kar Kraft supplying Mustang Boss 302s for the 1969–1971 seasons.

With the intention of supporting a winning effort for 1969, Bud Moore was brought back to form a team that was based on the Boss 302, and he pulled out all stops by hiring Parnelli Jones and George Follmer as drivers. The 1969 season would become the hardest fought in the series’ first four years. The Bud Moore Mustangs, driven by Jones and Follmer, and the Penske Sunoco Camaros, driven by Mark Donohue, Ronnie Bucknum, and Ed Leslie, brought out record crowds, causing the series to be vaulted to instant stardom and resulting in some of the most anticipated races on the North American calendar. But alas, by the end of the season, Chevrolet won its second manufacturer’s championship in a row.

However, things changed in 1970. Penske (and his drivers) switched to AMC Javelins, and the remaining factory-supported Chevrolet teams were managed by Jim Hall. Fords, which were arguably the fastest cars in Trans Am, were further dialed in for 1970, with further development being made to the initial Boss 302 Mustang configuration. Bud Moore’s Ford Mustang team fought hard and emerged as the victors of the Trans Am Manufacturer’s Championship in 1970.
Bud Moore Engineering had been first provided with four serialized Mustangs by Kar Kraft in 1969, along with three more for 1970. At the end of 1970, in preparation for 1971 competition, Kar Kraft provided four additional “bodies in white,” identified as chassis numbers 11971–41971. As the 1971 season approached, the Ford Motor Company discontinued support for the Trans Am program. Bud Moore Engineering ran a shortened schedule, using two of the four “bodies in white” that were previously provided.

The new AMG 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine

Powerful, innovative and efficient.
Fuel consumption combined: 9.6-9.3 l/100 km;
combined CO₂ emissions: 224-216 g/km

 

Biturbocharging with “hot inside V“
The powerful V8 engines have long been a core competence at AMG, the performance brand of Mercedes-Benz. Christian Enderle, Head of Engine and Powertrain Development at Mercedes-AMG: “With the new AMG 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine, we present a fascinating and powerful sports car engine, which also achieves the next step in efficiency due to numerous measures“.
The new AMG V8 engine has two turbochargers which are not mounted on the outside of the cylinder banks but rather inside the V configuration – experts call it a “hot inside V“.

 

Advantages
The advantages of this layout: the eight-cylinder engine has more compact dimensions, which allow the low installation position as well as optimum weight distribution between the front and rear axles. The “hot inside V“ also optimises the supply of fresh air to both exhaust gas turbochargers. Electronically-regulated blow-off valves guarantee a very immediate and direct response. The maximum charge pressure is 1.2 bar and the turbochargers can reach a maximum speed of 186,000 rpm. For combustion 2.3 times as many oxygen atoms are pressed into the turbo engine than a naturally aspirated engine.

 

Dry sump lubrication for high lateral acceleration
The dry sump lubrication allows the engine to be installed in a low position with a lower centre of gravity – ideal for a sports car with extremely high lateral dynamics. As well as the enhanced agility, dry sump lubrication ensures optimum lubrication of the engine through direct oil extraction from the crankcases, even at high cornering speeds.
As a result the M178 (the internal AMG designation) is the world's first sports car engine with hot inner V and dry sump lubrication. The new AMG V8 with a dry weight of 209 kilogram is the lightest engine in its competitive segment.

 

Performance figures on a par with motor racing
As the newest member of the BlueDIRECT engine family, the AMG M178 boasts a confident power delivery and performance figures on a par with motor racing. It boasts an emotive and unmistakable AMG V8 engine sound, along with an immediate response and high pulling power.
The torque curve is synonymous with good drivability: the maximum value of 650 nanometer is on hand in a wide range from 1,750 to 4,750 révolutions

 

“One man, one engine“
The AMG 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine is made in Affalterbach in accordance with the principle of “one man, one engine“. In the AMG engine workshop, highly qualified technicians manufacture the high-performance engines by hand to the strictest quality standards.
The signature of the respective technician on the AMG engine plate attests to this exclusive type of engine production. It guarantees quality and the transfer of technology from the racing series - from Formula 1 and the DTM to the customer sport activities with the SLS AMG GT3

720 hp strong G-POWER M3 GT2 R

The Tuning World Bodensee is a must-attend for every BMW enthusiast who is into customizing. It goes without saying that there will be a G-POWER highlight, as well. Thus G-POWER presents, in cooperation with the car magazine “AUTO BILD SPORTSCARS”, the hottest road-legal BMW M3. 
Already the basic data of this car – 720 hp and a dry weight of less than 1.500 kg – leave no doubt about the fact that the GT2 R called BMW M3 prepared by G-POWER is a serious competitor to all these Porsche and Co. racing against each other in countless Clubsport-Events. 
G-POWER has enlarged the displacement of the BMW V8 S65 engine from 4.0l to 4.6l – incl. forged pistons and connecting rods – thus creating the basis for an additional power output enhancement by the G-POWER M3 V8 SK III supercharger system. The result of this proven combination is 720 hp and 700 Nm of torque.
At the same time, G-POWER also gets to work on the flab, placing the BMW M3 on a strict weight loss regime. This is where the G-POWER GT2 R comes into its own, with a full carbon body kit bearing the awesome GT2 R design. The front skirt, all four wings and the rear skirt are all replaced by ultra-lightweight carbon elements. A carbon front lip and the multi-part carbon rear spoiler also improve aerodynamic down force.  
Overall, the G-POWER weight loss program for the M3 GT2 R adds up to around 150 kg, bringing the dry weight down to less than 1,500 kg. It goes without saying that the supercharged 720 horses take this in their stride. The GT2 R handles the dash from 0-100 km/h in 3.7 seconds and from 0-200 km in 9.5 seconds. The top speed is more than 330 km/h.
