The Speed Channel’s “Dream Car Garage” covered the complete process XV Motorsports undertook throughout the engineering, development and testing of many of the products and components we developed. The entire process was covered on thirteen episodes of the show and aired during their 2006 season.
This DVD brings you all thirteen episodes so you can see just how XV Motorsports engineered, developed and tested its products. The shows were filmed during the actual process and provide an inside look as to how this was done and some of the state of the art OE level tools XV employed and some of the engineering expertise utilized.
