This week I discuss the auction of Delphi from General Motors. Financial losses from Daimler, Ford, Peugeot and Nissan. Employee losses from Porsche and the SV9 Competizione - a half Chevy half italian monster.
The motor sports results are from Formula 1, GP2, NASCAR and Indy. There is also a comment about BMW pulling out of Formula 1.
This week's history article is about American Motors, who owned the Nash, Hudson, Rambler, Kaiser and Jeep brands before a tie-up with Renault and the ultimate sale to Chrysler.
The technical article is about the Buick 215 V8 that became the first production turbo engine and a Formula 1 championship winning motor before being fixed by Rover and turned into a serious engine for lightweight sports cars.
