Another Giant Leap for Torvec

ROCHESTER, N.Y., Jan. 4, 2007 -- Torvec, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: TOVC.OB) , announced today that as a result of its revenue-producing arrangement with NASA, Torvec has developed a modified version of its IVT so that it can function in NASA's Lunar Rover. This development was accomplished by Torvec engineers at an incredibly, NASA requested accelerated pace, as the company promised NASA officials.

Torvec also announced that it has been given permission by NASA to showcase this truly unique transmission at its annual shareholders meeting to be held on Thursday, January 25, 2007. Thereafter, the transmission will undergo rigorous NASA inspection and testing. This NASA-conducted testing will not be focused on the "workability" or the "functionality" of the transmission. NASA has already concluded that Torvec's infinitely variable transmission meets its specifications. The reason for this is simple -- each and every other transmission existing in the world today, regardless of nomenclature -- be it a step-automatic, a "CVT" or even other IVTs -- cannot meet the stringent packaging and control requirements dictated by NASA.

NASA's testing focus will therefore be on the actual integration and compatibility of Torvec's transmission with the Lunar Rover and its suitability for the rather hostile lunar environment.

Previously Torvec had announced that it had been engaged by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct a feasibility study as to the integration of six of Torvec's infinitely variable transmissions (IVT) and IsoTorque differentials in the next generation Lunar Rover.
