Press Release Summary: Another USA company joins the long list of Technology
Partners for DiMora Motorcar by using Superhard Silicon Carbide Replaces Iron
Cylinder Sleeves in DiMora Volcano V16 Aluminum Engine


Press Release Body: Fond du Lac, WI, April 8, 2008 - U.S. Chrome Corporation of
Wisconsin, a division of U.S. Chrome, will use its proprietary NiCom® metal-ceramic
coating process to harden the aluminum cylinders of the DiMora Volcano V16 engine,
the powerplant used in the $2 Million Natalia SLS 2 sport luxury sedan.

Aluminum engine blocks are much lighter than cast iron engine blocks, reducing the
overall weight of an automobile. To make a cylinder wear as well as iron, the
conventional solution is to insert an iron sleeve in the cylinder. This adds weight
to the engine and interferes with heat dissipation.

The NiCom® process developed by U.S. Chrome produces a nickel metal matrix with
silicon carbide (SiC) particles dispersed throughout. SiC is one of the hardest
substances known, providing a surface that will not be worn down by piston rings.

"The Volcano V16 is raising the bar for what to expect from a high performance
engine," said Alfred DiMora, CEO of DiMora Motorcar. "The NiCom® process allows us
to have high cylinder pressures, tight ring seals, long seal longevity, and great
heat transfer, without adding excessive weight. We need the best process, and this
is it."

"We have been redefining what is possible with performance coatings for over 60
years," said Scott Reath, General Manager of U.S. Chrome of Wisconsin. "This
technology has been tested in the performance racing industry on land and sea. The
cylinders we have processed are in countless racecars and in every Mercury Marine V6
racing engine produced worldwide. We know our process will improve the power and
longevity of the DiMora Volcano V16."

"The DiMora Volcano V16 is an exceptionally powerful engine. We must not waste that
power through excessive cylinder friction or heat buildup," said DiMora. "Once
again, the right solution is available from a great American company that continues
to innovate in a key industry. We are proud to welcome U.S. Chrome as the latest
Technology Partner to add its capabilities to the Natalia project."
