Complete the contemporary design, the interior designers have created the Porsche Carrera GT recalls. The driver is now more closely integrated in the cockpit due to the emergence of the high center console and shift lever or gear selector is located near the steering wheel. Outside, the classic Porsche in a lot of elements. The current instrument is a five round instruments - one of the high-resolution, multi-function display, and, of course, central tachometer and power switch on the left of the steering wheel.

Setting the standard in its class, as it has for generations, the new Porsche 911 Carrera S increases the bar for performance and efficiency up a notch.

And he gets less than 10 liters of fuel per 100 km. This will be achieved, such as the Auto Start-Stop the engine and transmission, thermal management, power recovery system, the world's first seven-speed manual transmission, and - in cooperation with the Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe ( PDK) - the ability to "Sail", or the coast.

Porsche 918 RSR Review

 The following is a review of the Porsche 918 RSR. This is a car is cool and interesting to you have. see the review below. I hope you're happy because they visit this blog.
 
With the Porsche 918 RSR, the manufacturer of luxury sports cars is a synthesis of high-end 2010 was successful hybrid concepts. The two-seat mid-engine coupe 918 RSR clearly reveals what happens when the technology is installed in the 911 GT3 R Hybrid and the design of the Spyder 918 is transferred to a modern, innovative Super Sports car.

With its highly efficient accumulator wheel, convinced Porsche 911 GT3 R hybrid race car to be a magnet for the attention of racing competition at the Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit, during the American Le Mans Series races (ALMS) at Road Atlanta / USA and execute ILMCC in Zhuhai in China. It has demonstrated its potential for massive performance in race conditions realistically against the major competitors. Porsche 911 GT3 R Hybrid, known internally as "laboratory course" has surpassed the high expectations of Porsche Motorsport. Competitiveness, high reliability and exemplary fuel efficiency combined with superior performance undervalued idea that the basic Porsche technicians additional power generation in an intelligent manner. 911 GT3 R Hybrid gets its extra power from its own vehicle dynamics during braking. Porsche is now transplanting this technology in the mid-engine coupe 918 RSR, the version of Motorsport 918 Spyder concept car.

In the tradition established by cars Porsche classic racing and long distance 908 long tail coupe (1969) and 917 short-tail coupe (1971), Porsche's designers have created a link to the postmodernism of the form "follows the function "philosophy. In the 918 RSR, the flow lines "elegant is dominated by muscular wheel arches, dynamic air intakes and a chair similar cabin. A fan wheel between the consumption of visible tubes and ram air spoiler rear with the RS Spyder dimensions emphasize the role of the laboratory course. The new "liquid metal chrome blue" color that has been created especially for sculpted forms, while the typical color of Porsche brake calipers and orange hybrid longitudinal stripes of the body touches lends remarkable.

Motor Racing Technology also dominates in the details of light, torsionally stiff carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) monocoque. The V8 engine is a further development of direct-injection engine is not RS Spyder racing car, and now offers 563 hp output accurately 10 300 rpm for 918 RSR. Electric motors on two front wheels each contribute 75 kW, for a total of 150 kW, in order to use high power exactly 767 hp. This extra power which is generated during braking is stored in the optimized flywheel accumulator.

In the 918 RSR, the two electric motors offer a torque vectoring function with variable torque distribution on the front axle. This further enhances flexibility and improves steering response. Mounted upstream of the rear axle, it's mid-engine integrated with a racing transmission also based on the RS Spyder racing car. This developed six-speed constant mesh gearbox with shaft mounted longitudinally and spur gear spur gears operated using two shift paddles behind the wheel racing.

Functional equipment of the car motorsports emphasizes its purist. Whether the doors that open characteristic obliquely upwards, and air entering the bet ¬ roof between the wing doors, very quick to lock on the forehead and eyelids CFRP rear, both mounted rooftop antennas for radio telemetry and pit, the RS Spyder, which small, Flic front side air separator or under the front lip or no profile racing slicks on 19 "wheels with central locking, the vehicle can be clearly recognized as an experimental laboratory course.

Unlike the 918 Spyder concept car no frills atmosphere dominated racing in the interior of the 918 RSR. The seats are tight brown leather mentions the story of Mr. flashes the gear on the driver racing wheel and a recovery screen on the steering column in front of the screen provide the pilot with information. Instead of the futuristic, ergonomic center console with advanced touch interface of the 918 Spyder concept car of the passenger 918 RSR broken down by a minimalist console with rocker switches. Instead of another seat, the battery is driving on the right side of the console.

This battery is flying an electric motor whose rotor rotates up to 36 000 rpm rotation to conserve energy. The battery charges when the two electric motors behind the front axle of their activities during the braking process and function generators. Touch of a button, the pilot is able to retrieve the stored energy in the flywheel will be charged the battery and use it during acceleration or overtaking moves. The flywheel is braked electromagnetically in this case, in addition to providing up to 2 x 75 kW, for a total of 150 kW, the kinetic energy of the two electric motors on the front axle.

This additional power is available for about eight seconds when the system is fully charged. In the successful 911 GT3 R Hybrid, this additional power can also be used as an aid to consumption depending on the situation of the race, for example, to delay or pit stops to reduce fuel tank volume and therefore the weight of the vehicle.

With the new 918 RSR racing laboratory, Porsche is now raising the concept of hybrid race at an experimental level. In the 918 RSR, "Porsche Intelligent Performance" is equivalent to finding ways to promote sustainable improvements in efficiency under high track, lap times, pit stops and reliability - a profession in which Porsche was to demonstrate its success for over 60 years.
 
Finally, the starting number of 22 years, celebrates the birthday of a new triumph. Back in the days when victories at Le Mans in general is still not a routine matter entirely within the Porsche racing department, the pilots Dr. Helmut Marko and Gijs van Lennep were the first to cross the finish line in 1971 24 hours typical. Distance record set by its short tail Porsche 917 Coupe - 5335.313 km (3315.21 miles) at an average speed of 222.304 km / h (138.13 mph) - was not maintained unbeaten for an eternity, but exactly 39 years until 2010. At that time, the 917 colors of Martini was also an experience and ahead of his time: a magnesium space frame set new standards in the field of lightweight Porsche.

This configuration also offers an innovative four-wheel variables with independent control of the driving forces in both axes. Electrical energy is stored in a liquid cooled lithium ion can be recharged at a standard outlet. Driving electric, must be more than 16 kilometers in the NEDC. The cooldown of the network depends on each country's electricity, but the burden is expected to last about seven hours at 110V/10A United States. A fast load option is evaluated to further reduce the load time.

With a combined fuel consumption of just under 3.0 l/100 km in the NEDC cycle, equivalent to CO2 emissions of only 70 g / km and 112 g / km. On the other hand, the Porsche 918 Spyder will deliver super-athletic performance. It is estimated that final production version will accelerate from zero to 60 mph in about 3.1 seconds on its way to an estimated top speed of 199 mph.
