Audi e-tron quattro concept, the battery-electric technology study from Audi at the Inter-
national Motor Show (IAA) 2015, is a whole new caliber of sporty SUV. Its range of more
than 500 kilometers (310.7 mi) gives it full everyday usability. Leading technical solu-

“When we disassembled it, we found that each employee in-

history to life, and reinforced the importance of the project.”
Despite extensive damage, the team, vowed to preserve and repair
as many original components as possible. Only two signed compo-

CHEVROLET FULFILL
1 MILLIONTH
Restoration of the 1 millionth Corvette – a white
1992convertible–iscompleteafterfallingvictimto
a sinkhole on February 12, last year. The restored
car was unveiled at the National Corvette Museum,
where it returns as part of the permanent exhibit.
The 1 millionth Corvette was moved from the
Kentucky museum to GM’s Design Center in
Warren, Michigan, for restoration. Approximate-
ly 30 craftspeople and technicians from GM De-
sign’s Mechanical Assembly group, along with
GM Service Operations, took on the project.
“When we disassembled it, we found that each em-
ployeeinvolvedinbuildingithadsigned apartof the
car,” said Mark Reuss, General Motors’ executive
vice president, Global Product Development, Pur-
chasingandSupplyChain.“Itbroughtthehistoryto
life, and reinforced the importance of the project.”
Despite extensive damage, the team, vowed
to preserve and repair as many original com-
ponents as possible. Only two signed compo-
nents couldn’t be saved, so the team had the
autographs scanned, reproduced as trans-
fers and placed on the replacement parts.
“As the one and only 1 millionth Corvette, its pres-
ervation was important to us as the designers of
the vehicle – and as Corvette enthusiasts,” said
Ed Welburn, vice president of GM Global Design.
“The damage was significant in many ways; how-
ever we have one of the most highly skilled spe-
cialty shops and team of people in the industry, so
they were fully prepared to take on the challenge.”
Despite extensive damage, the team, represented
by UAW locals 160 and 1869, vowed to preserve
and repair as many original components as possi-
ble – a decision that involved posterity as much as
history. That’s because under the skin, the 1 mil-
lionthCorvettecarriedallthosesignaturesfromthe
Bowling Green Assembly workers who built the car.
Only two signed components couldn’t be saved, so
theteamhadtheautographsscanned,reproduced
as transfers and placed on the replacement parts.
“We went to great lengths to preserve every au-
tograph,” said David Bolognino, director of GM
Global Design Fabrication Operations. “In the end,
we saved every one of them, which was an unex-
pected and important element to the restoration.”
One component with a single signature from
Bowling Green Assembly employee Angela Lamb
was too damaged to save or even accurate-
ly scan for her autograph. Chevrolet worked
with the National Corvette Museum to secure a
new signature from Lamb on the replacement
part, so the 1-millionth Corvette will be his-
torically accurate down to the last signature.
Among the parts replaced were the hood, front
fascia and the lower panels between the front
wheels and doors, as well as a number of ancil-
lary supporting components under the hood. The
replacements came from a vehicle of the same
vintage and color, ensuring authenticity of the
parts and materials involved with the restoration.
A few other components, such as the rear fas-
cia and front exhaust system, would have prob-
ably been replaced in almost any other res-
toration project, but the team repaired them
Sinkhole-damaged milestone returns to National Corvette Museum

•The front sub-frame was damaged in the fall into the sinkhole and re-
quired straightening
•The wheels were damaged, but reconditioned, with the original Good-
year Eagle GS-C tires
•Rather than replace the scuffed and scratched pad on the instrument
panel, its soft cover was carefully removed and replaced to preserve the
employee-signed structure beneath it
•The red leather seats, featuring one-off “1,000,000th Corvette” em-
broidery on the headrests were damaged but deemed irreplaceable,
so they were restored, including a few replacement patches of carefully
matched hide
•The 5.7L LT1 engine, transmission and other drivetrain components
were inspected and found to be damage-free
Surprisingly, the one component the team didn’t have to replace was the
crushed windshield header. When the car first rolled into the shop, an
overhead crane was used to raise it enough to make the car drivable, but
the frame pulled up surprisingly close to the original position, encourag-
ing the team to save it.
“The header restoration was a wonderful surprise for what everyone as-
sumed would be the toughest aspect of the restoration,” said Bolognino.
“With access to the original specifications, we got it spot-on – and even
the new windshield glass dropped in perfectly.”
The final touch was replacing the unique “1,000,000th” windshield ban-
ner it wore when it rolled off the assembly line 23 years ago. The com-

The 1 millionth Corvette is the second sinkhole-damaged Corvette that
Chevrolet has restored. The first, a 2009 Corvette ZR1 prototype known
as the Blue Devil, was only lightly damaged and was returned to its orig-
inal condition last fall. The National Corvette Museum will oversee the
restoration of a third car, a 1962 Corvette.
The other five Corvettes swallowed by the sinkhole will remain in their
as-recovered state to preserve the historical significance of the cars.

levels of individualisation of this high-performance coupe. The Com-
petition Edition gives the 4.4-litre V8 petrol engine with M TwinPower

of 700 Nm (516 lb-ft). The high-performance vehicle takes the BMW

chrome and the carbon-fibre exterior mirror caps, they accentuate
the extraordinarily sporty and powerful presence of the car. The car-
bon-fibre M rear spoiler in conjunction with a rear diffusor made of
the same material serves to optimise airflow.

spokes are made from fine, lightweight carbon fibre, while the steering
