QUINTESSENCE OIL COMPLETES ACQUISITION OF IPSL, INC. AND PLANS NAME CHANGE TO
TORQUE ENGINEERING CORPORATION.
LOS ANGELES, CALIF. - Monday June 1, 1999, Raymond B. Wedel, Jr. President of
Quintessence Oil Company (NASD OTC EBB: QTSN), announced today that the company
has completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding stock of IPSL, Inc. in
a stock for stock exchange. Quintessence Oil Company has also agreed to change
its name to Torque Engineering Corporation subject to shareholder approval.
Mr. Wedel stated that, "With closing of the this transaction Quintessence Oil
Company has completed the first phase of the transition to becoming a niche
manufacture and marketer of advanced technology systems for the transportation
industry. The Torque V-12 has been in the research and development phase by
IPSL, Inc. and the predecessor owners for the past twelve years. Quintessence
Oil Company plans to begin operating under the name of Torque Engineering
Company and will begin the process of bring the Torque V-12 to the market place
while making the transition to an operating company."
With the completion of the IPSL, Inc. acquisition Quintessence now owns all of
the rights, patents, tooling, designs, and has the production facilities to
produce the revolutionary Torque V-12 Engine. The engine, designed for the
pleasure boating industry, is a 14-liter, 90 degree, sequentially fuel injected,
advanced V-12, engineered to run on pump gasoline. The initial Torque V-12 model
to be released, is an all aluminum, light weight, and powerful V-12 which
delivers over 900 horsepower and 1100 foot pounds of torque in its marine
configuration. The Torque V-12 design team was responsible for 19 United States
and World Championships in the most elite divisions of offshore racing and
numerous automotive championships.
Quintessence Oil Company, or Torque Engineering Corporation as it will be known,
is in the final stages of the transition to bringing the Torque V-12 to full
scale production. The company has now become a manufacturer of engines for the
boating and the transportation industry with an advanced technology power system
that substantially reduces power plant weight and requires less space than
current engine designs, thereby providing more flexibility in boat design.
