Los Angeles. The Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and his
friend, German showmaster Thomas Gottschalk, visited the Porsche Show Hall
dedicated this year fully to hybrid technology during their tour of the Los
Angeles Auto Show. This �state visit� paid to Porsche by the Austrian-born
Governor of California quickly became a meeting of good friends, Wolfgang
D�rheimer, Executive Vice-President for Development of Porsche AG and Peter
Schwarzenbauer, President of Porsche Cars of North America (PCNA), making
Schwarzenegger, himself an avid car collector, acquainted with the Porsche
cars at the show particularly beneficial to the environment: the
Lohner-Porsche electric car built back in 1990, the current Cayenne Hybrid
and the RS Spyder racing car which this year drove to victory in the
American Le Mans Serie (ALMS) with ethanol additives in the tank.
Schwarzenegger was very happy to note that Porsche had gone to great
lengths and efforts to present the unique Lohner-Porsche even protected as
a national monument for the first time outside of Europe. This
zero-emission vehicle presented by the Stuttgart-based manufacturer of
sports cars clearly demonstrates the unique position of company founder
Professor Ferdinand Porsche as a visionary pioneer in the history of the
automobile.
The Lohner-Porsche was made available for the Los Angeles Show by Vienna
Technical Museum. It is the forerunner of the first hybrid car Professor
Ferdinand Porsche presented to the world public in 1901.
Although Governor Schwarzenegger is acknowledged as the most important
political driving force behind the low-emissions policy in the USA, he
nevertheless remained faithful, as a famous action star in former times, to
his Terminator image and enquired about all the features of the Porsche 911
Turbo Cabriolet and the Porsche 911 GT2. _________________ Drags, Circuit, Solodex, Rally, Karting, the Shows, the Girls, the Car you drive...
