Exclusive – Speed Passion GT2.0 PRO

Exclusive - Speed Passion GT2.0 Pro

Seen for the first time here in the pits at the 3rd round of the Euro Touring Series in Warsaw, Poland, was the all new Gran Turismo 2.0 PRO Blue Edition speed controller from Speed Passion. This is the latest speedo from the World Champion motor company and is their first proper attempt at a high end competition speedo for modified racing and judging by the reaction of team driver Marc Rheinard, who is running the ESC for the first time, it seems to work very well. The ESC is scheduled for a mid March release in standard Carbon black colour, with the blue version seen in these pictures due for release after that.
