Fits 2014-2016 Kia Forte Turbo Performance Racing Front Brake Pads on 2040-parts.com
Torrance, California, United States
With the need for a better compound for our own racecar, and the lack of aftermarket brake support for the Veloster Turbo in general, we're proud to introduce the Piercemotorsport VTRS4 Performance front brake pad for the 2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo! We've gone to Porterfield Enterprises, one of the best/leader's in performance brake pads and endurance brake compounds-with over 40 years of experience winning races, to construct a performance front brake pad. The compound developed for the Veloster Turbo is dual purpose, suitable for performance driving on the street and of course the much needed increased performance for the track/autocross. The VTRS4 pad features-
Reduced stopping distances* Reduced brake fade in performance driving situations* Compound performs flawlessly with rotor temps over 1000 degrees* Easy on rotors with easy break in procedure* Lower brake dust and non corrosive dust* Low noise/feedback!!!* Best balance between initial bite and pedal effort* I've been racing for over 25 years and I can tell you in a roadrace car the pedal that wins endurance races is the one in the middle! Getting the brake balance perfect and developing the brake system to withstand the duration of the event is crucial to finishing on the podium. With that said you can't take a race pad compound and run it on the street---the pads will literally eat the rotors up and you'd be living with dust filled rims, crazy brake noise and of course changing rotors every 15k mi!!! We've got the absolute best balance between the race compound and street compound I've ever seen/had the pleasure of driving with. We've used many different brands (I should clarify that---we've tried nearly every major performance compound over the years) and the RS4 is just simply my favorite. This is a high end pad and shouldn't be compared to brands like EBC/Hawk/Metal Matrix etc---those pads serve a purpose in the market for an affordable off the shelve bump in performance. This pad was built with increased performance in mind and will perform at much higher level's than the above. |

Record expected for Auto Union sale
Wed, 07 Feb 2007By James Mullan Motor Industry 07 February 2007 09:21 A rare 1939 Auto Union Type D grand prix car is tipped to tear up the record books this month when it goes under the hammer – for an estimated price of up to £7.8 million. Auto Union developed the Type D racing car with a mid-mounted 3.0-litre 12-cylinder engine; in 1939, it was modified with the addition of a twin supercharger, increasing power 420bhp to 460bhp – enough for a top speed of 205mph. This particular car won the French and Yugoslavian Grand Prix in 1939, but at the end of the Second World War it was transported from East Germany to the former Soviet Union by Russian occupation forces as spoils of war.
