Expert opinion – professional insights on INTERSTAR performance solutions
GT driver Matthias Lodi shares his experience with the INTERSTAR PowerPedal – sharper throttle response and maximum performance
In recent years, the INTERSTAR PowerPedal has established itself as one of the most innovative solutions in both vehicle tuning and motorsport. Initially developed as a plug-and-play system for everyday road use, it has now proven its value on international racetracks. More and more professional drivers and motorsport teams are turning to the technology to unlock sharper throttle response, improved agility and higher overall efficiency. One of the most prominent advocates is Italian GT driver Matthias Lodi, who has put the PowerPedal through its paces in everyday driving and under the extreme demands of professional GT racing – confirming its role as a true game changer for performance-oriented drivers.
“A real game changer for drivers who seek the maximum”
Professional GT driver Matthias Lodi shares his powerful experience with the INTERSTAR PowerPedal:
“For many years I have been competing in GT racing and have explored countless options to sharpen my car’s throttle response. The INTERSTAR PowerPedal is nothing short of a game changer. It completely redefines how the vehicle responds to my right foot, delivering sharper, more immediate feedback. On the racetrack, every millisecond matters – precise control in tight corners, quicker reactions at high speed and maximum acceleration on long straights. The PowerPedal provides exactly that decisive edge that can make the difference between winning and losing.”
Noticeable performance gains on the racetrack – INTERSTAR PowerPedal in professional use
On the racetrack, it becomes especially clear how the optimized throttle response with the INTERSTAR PowerPedal transforms the driving experience:
-
Sharper throttle response for maximum control: The INTERSTAR PowerPedal translates even the slightest foot movement into immediate engine reaction. Drivers benefit from noticeably more precise handling – whether accelerating out of tight corners, preparing for overtaking maneuvers or maintaining stability in high-speed sections. This enhanced responsiveness creates a more agile, confident and performance-focused driving experience, both on the racetrack and on the road.
-
Instant acceleration with maximum control: The INTERSTAR PowerPedal optimizes signal transmission between throttle pedal and ECU, ensuring that engine power is unleashed without delay. The result is explosive acceleration from low revs while maintaining full control – ideal for rapid starts on the racetrack, confident overtaking maneuvers, and dynamic driving in everyday traffic. This precision makes every launch sharper, smoother, and more performance-oriented.
-
Reliable performance lap after lap: Unlike conventional tuning solutions that alter or interfere with the ECU, the INTERSTAR PowerPedal operates independently of the engine control unit. This ensures constant, stable power output without unwanted side effects such as error codes or reduced durability. Even during long and intensive race sessions, drivers benefit from consistent throttle response and dependable performance – exactly what is needed for professional motorsport and demanding everyday use alike.
GT driver Matthias Lodi highlights how decisive the INTERSTAR PowerPedal can be on the racetrack:
“In intense racing duels, it’s often the smallest details that decide between victory and defeat. With the PowerPedal, I can modulate throttle input with absolute precision, react instantly to every situation, and maintain maximum stability even under pressure. This level of control gives me the confidence and the edge I need when every millisecond counts.”
Everyday advantages of the INTERSTAR PowerPedal – more driving comfort, faster response, greater safety
Although the greatest strengths of the PowerPedal are on the racetrack, Lodi points out that even the everyday driver experiences enormous benefits:
-
Improved fuel efficiency with the INTERSTAR PowerPedal: The optimized interaction between engine, transmission and throttle reduces fuel consumption. “I was amazed at how clearly this shows in daily driving. Especially in city traffic, fuel savings of up to 10% are possible.”
-
More safety when overtaking with the INTERSTAR PowerPedal: The improved throttle response ensures that power and acceleration are available instantly – without the dangerous hesitation common in standard setups.
-
More driving fun with the INTERSTAR PowerPedal: In city stop-and-go traffic, on winding country roads or at highway speeds – the car responds quicker, more agile and noticeably sportier.
