Monster celebrates premiere, Eibach celebrates birthday

Dear Friends,

It's getting really exciting now. Last week Martin Christensen tested our brand new SCORE-AGM-JIMCO/X6Trophy Truck for the first time out in the wild. Plaster City, where the desert stretches Nevada into California, offered cosy conditions: mercilessly tough tracks, over 40 degrees Celsius (100+ F) air temperature.

First outing in the desert: flat out, 40 degress Celsius, no problems

After more than 300 kilometres Martin was a happy man: No problems with pressures and temperatures, all components worked excellently, the handling surprisingly good for the first outing. And our new racer is incredibly agile getting in and around the corners. Now we'll look finely setting up at the suspension details, the power train and the auxiliary aggregates.

The cockpit: everything perfectly in place

Soon our AGM-JIMCO/X6 is going to clock up a real bunch of miles. And without doing one rev: On a ship, the Trophy Truck will travel to Germany where we present the AGM-JIMCO/X6 to the press and our partners on 11 and 12 October in Leipzig. After the presentation on the 11th, those attending get the chance to jump in the co-driver's seat of the V8. Goose bumps guaranteed.

The exhaust manifold: specially made by REMUS. For lots of torque and for wonderful V8 music

All at All German Motorsports and I personally have another reason to celebrate: Eibach Springs is turning 60! It's fabulous how such a family-run enterprise, founded in 1951, has developed to become a world market leader over six decades.

The rear axle: custom made special component for optimal traction

Eibach enjoys a reputation as a worldwide leading manufacturer of high-performance suspension springs, components and systems as well as high-technical industrial springs for demanding applications. The range of products is very diverse, covering almost all areas where high-quality solutions are required in industrial and automobile technology.

Driving machine: SCORE-AGM-JIMCO/X6

And I thank Wilfried Eibach most sincerely for encouraging me to go to the USA in 2006. He was without doubt the initiator of my SCORE career. Eibach has been an incredibly constructive, competent and loyal partner to me since 1987. So I want to say a heartfelt thank you to the Eibach family and to all those who work for them.

After the presentation on 11/12 October we will have loads of photos and technical details for you here.

I'm looking forward to welcoming our guests in Leipzig.

Best,

Armin
