Following the unveiling of the TAG Heuer Roadster at the Geneva Motor Show last week Tesla has released a large batch of new photos of the one-off electric sports car. The new shots feature the be-striped grey Roadster on the road. The Roadster was prepared to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Swiss watch-maker.

Following the close of the car show this weekend, the Roadster will be driven the 155 miles to Basel for the big watch show that starts there next week. At Baselworld, TAG Heuer will unveil a new concept watch. Mechanically there is nothing really new about the Roadster Sport but, for those of you that can’t get enough images of the two-tone Roadster, check out the gallery.

I would like to give a special word of thanks to Robert Marlow, President of the New Jersey Association of Corvair Enthusiasts, for his particular enthusiasm. He’s planning on making a weekend of it–and bringing a good portion of the club with him as their July club excursion. In turn, Bob is talking with other clubs in the region about coming along, as well. With good weather and participation we could end up seeing several dozen ‘Vairs–50 really isn’t out of the question for Saturday, given the history of stellar turnouts around here. Break out the Oil-Dri and fan belts, people, this is going to be a party.

If you’re a Corvair owner interested in attending, either for the Concours or the Saturday open show, drop me a line.  Here’s a sampling of some of our Concours candidates to date. We’ve only decided on a few, but the rest of the field will fill up fast.

We tried this variation a few weeks ago with Carroll Shelby and Dick Teague, so let’s try it again, this time with another couple of automotive personalities you should all be familiar with – Andy Granatelli and John DeLorean. Neither man could, in any terms, be considered a wallflower, and both earned a good amount of headlines in their prime, but to my knowledge, they never crossed paths, at least not on a professional level. So how can they be connected in six steps or less?

As with our last such challenge, to link the two, you have to find people they directly worked with at various automotive companies. It’s not enough just to say that Guy X worked at Company Y, which Guy Z worked for 20 years later.

Feel free to keep suggesting and debating the possible links between the two. Sometime after the commenting drops off, I’ll reveal the path I found between them.

LG Chem made it official today. The South Korean manufacturer is moving forward with plans to start production of lithium ion cells here in Michigan. LG Chem and its U.S. subsidiary Compact Power Inc. (CPI) will spend $303 million to build the cell plant in Holland on the west side of Michigan. By 2013 the facility should be employing over 400 people. Ground breaking will start this summer with the factory fully operational by 2012. At full production the plant will have enough capacity to produce cells for 50,000-200,000 packs depending on the configuration (E-REV vs PHEV).

LG Chem already has supply agreements with two major automakers, General Motors and Hyundai-Kia. Hyundai is using LG Chem cells and battery packs in the Korean market Elantra hybrid along with sister company Kia which builds the Forte hybrid. Hyundai will be launching the Sonata hybrid in the U.S. market later this year.

General Motors is using LG Chem cells in a pack of its own design for the Chevrolet Volt. It will also use the same cells in packs manufactured by CPI for a plug-in hybrid based on the two-mode system for an as yet un-named vehicle. With Volt cell manufacturing moving to Michigan, the majority of the value of the new car will be manufactured within a fairly small geographic area. Along with the $700 million being invested by GM in assembly and systems manufacturing for the Volt in Michigan, this brings the total to over $1 billion.

Much of the funding for the plant will come from federal and state incentives including a $151 million grant that CPI received last year as part of the stimulus bill. LG Chem will contribute matching funds to the program. LG Chem joins A123 Systems and Johnson Controls-Saft (JCS) in manufacturing lithium ion batteries in Michigan. The JCS factory is also in Holland while A123 is setting up shop closer to Detroit in Livonia.
