Porsche 918 RSR (2011) [Reviews]

Dr. Ing. hc F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, continues to expand its operations and effective skills through intensive development in the field of hybrid technology. With the Porsche 918 RSR, a manufacturer of premium sport cars, has a high-end of 2010 a successful synthesis of hybrid concepts. The two-seater mid-engine coupe 918 RSR clearly shows what happens when the technology installed 911 GT3 R and the hybrid design of the 918 Spyder is transferred to a modern, innovative, super sports car.

With its highly efficient storage unit, the 911 GT3 R hybrid race car has proven to be a loving attention during the implementation of competition on the Nürburgring Nordschleife in the race for the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) at Road Atlanta / USA. UU. and race in Zhuhai China ILMC. It has demonstrated its potential for massive performance in real conditions to compete against larger competitors. The 911 GT3 R hybrid, known internally as the "laboratory of the race" has exceeded the expectations of Porsche Motorsport. Competitiveness, high reliability and exemplary fuel efficiency combined with optimal performance underscores the idea that Porsche engineers basic power generation a more intelligent way. The 911 GT3 R Hybrid gets its extra power from its own dynamic of the vehicle during braking. Porsche is now the transplantation technology in the mid-engine coupe Porsche 918 RSR racing version 918 Spyder concept.

In the tradition established by the classic Porsche racing cars like the 908 long distance long story short (1969) and 917 short-tailed (1971), Porsche's designers have created a link to the post-modernist "form follows function "philosophy. The Porsche 918 RSR, flow lines "elegant is dominated by muscular wheel arches, air intake and a cabin chair similar dynamic. A fan wheel visible between the consumption of the ram air tube and a spoiler RS Spyder back the size and more emphasis on the role of the laboratory course. The new "blue liquid metal chrome" color that has been created especially for the sculpted forms, while the hybrid orange typical of Porsche brake calipers longitudinal stripes and admirable button ready.

The technology also dominates racing in the lightweight, carbon fiber reinforced plastic torsion (CFRP) monocoque. The V8 engine is a newly developed direct-injection engine of the successful RS Spyder race car and now has an output of 563 hp at exactly 10 300 / 918 rpm in the RSR. Electric motors of two front wheels 75 kilowatts each contribute a total of 150 kW maximum power drive exactly 767 hp. This extra power generated during braking is stored in battery optimization of the wheel.

The Porsche 918 RSR, the two electric motors provide the function of front axle torque vector variable torque distribution. This increases to greater agility and improves steering response. Mounted above the rear axle, the central engine is integrated with a racing transmission is also based on the RS Spyder racing car. This six-speed transmission takes constant with the trees and the gear tooth longitudinally mounted straight drive is operated by two shift paddles behind the wheel racing.

Functional equipment of the car emphasizes its motor sport purist. Whether it is characteristic that open the doors up and the vents in the roof, between the door wing, very fast to lock on the front and rear lids carbon fiber, two roof-mounted antennas to stand and radio telemetry, RS Spyder and small, side or front Flic air separator 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 Racing.

Unlike the 918 Spyder concept car no frills atmosphere dominated racing in the interior of the Porsche 918 RSR. The seat is molded brown leather mention the history of hot gentleman driver gear wheel racing and a display of leisure on the steering column in front of the screen provide the pilot information. Instead of the futuristic, ergonomic center console with advanced touch interface of the 918 Spyder concept car, the 918 RSR cockpit ventilated by a minimalist console with toggle switches. Instead of another seat, is the battery of the steering wheel to the right of the console.

This battery is an electric motor driving the rotor of which rotates at up to 36,000 rpm to store the rotational energy. Load occurs when two electric motors on the front axle to change their function during the braking process and act as generators. At the touch of a button, the pilot managed to capture the energy stored in the wheel and charged battery to use it for acceleration or passing maneuvers. The electromagnetic brake inertia in this case also issue up to 2 x 75 kW, corresponding to a total of 150 kilowatts from its kinetic energy to the two motors on the front axle.

This extra power is available in about eight seconds, when the system is fully charged. A successful 911 GT3 R Hybrid, this extra power can also be used to support consumption, depending on the situation of running, for example, delaying a pit stop or reduce the volume of fuel and vehicle weight.

The new Porsche 918 RSR Lab competition, the Porsche is now raising the concept of hybrid race, experimentally. In the 918 RSR, "intelligent performance Porsche" is research on methods to improve efficiency further intensified sustainable under the conditions of the track, lap times, pit stops and reliability - a trade Porsche, which was the demonstration its success for over 60 years.

Finally, since the number of 22, pays tribute to the anniversary of the victory. Back in the days when the victory at Le Mans, all is not yet fully routinely include the Porsche racing department, the pilots, Dr. Helmut Marko and Gijs van Lennep were the first to cross the finish line in 1971, the 24-hour classic . Course record set by the Porsche 917 coupe short tail - 5335.313 km (3315.21 kilometers) at an average speed of 222.304 km / h (138.13 mph) - do not stay undefeated forever, but exactly 39 years to 2010. At that time, 917 Martini colors have been tested and very ahead of its time: the magnesium chassis sets new standards in the space domain lightweight Porsche.

Porsche Cayenne

Porsche Cayenne series begins with the 3.6-liter V6 gasoline-powered Cayenne. Power is increased to 300 horsepower, but fuel consumption has decreased by one fifth - in cooperation with the eight speed automatic transmission with Tiptronic S - Combined 28.5 mpg (9.9 ltr/100km) Cycle European driving again.

Hybrid Porsche Cayenne S

A 193 g / km, the hybrid Porsche Cayenne S is not only the clean version of the Cayenne with lower emissions, but also the cleanest Porsche throughout the portfolio of the Company. Hybrid features 333 hp Porsche Cayenne S car train back fuel consumption 34.4mpg combined (8.2 litres/100km) and CO2 emissions of 193 g / km.

In the intelligent interaction between the compressor 3.0-liter V6 and electric motor, focusing Hybrid Porsche Cayenne S at maximum efficiency of the overall powertrain system. Depending on driving conditions, the vehicle reaches the target is a single drive unit to operate independently or in conjunction with training units both to work together. In this context, the 34 kW (47 hp) electric motor is of course the ideal partner for the engine of 333 hp compressor with its high torque at low revs. Together, the two drive units provide a maximum output of 380 hp and maximum torque of 580 Nm at just 1000 rpm, with the same kind of performance that the Porsche Cayenne S with its conventional gasoline engine V8.

Two disk drives are connected to each other switch, run by Manager Hybrid, the computer. This cut-off switch, it is important to drive the Porsche Cayenne Hybrid S is the internal combustion engine or electric motor alone, or both units to work together. Thus, the conditions for relaxed driving, for example, in a residential area, this allows the driver to cover short distances on electricity alone and, therefore, entirely free of emissions (and almost no noise). In addition, you can drive in this state at a speed approaching 40 mph (60 km / h).

However, to ensure the acceleration when you go faster, the electric motor can operate to provide additional information to be pierced "greenhouse". Intelligent management of the separator clutch makes a transition between the discrete-specific hybrid driving mode, and that is comfortable and easy for the driver. At the same time, the internal combustion engine can be completely powered up to 97 mph (156 km / h), is completely removed from the transmission when the power is no longer necessary. In this mode, the so-called sailing ", cruising along without power, the drag forces exerted by the internal combustion engine and the braking effect is eliminated by lowering the interest of the immune system and thus continue to benefit from the consumption of fuel.

Porsche Cayenne Diesel

2011 Porsche Boxster Spyder and 2011 Porsche Boxster Cayman

The History new Boxster Sypder which was revealed to the world at the Los Angeles Auto Show in late 2009 and went on sale in February of 2010 has brought even more excitement to Porsche’s renowned mid-engine model lineup that includes the 2011 Porsche Boxster and the Boxster S roadsters and Cayman and Cayman S coupes. For the 2011 model year, the Boxster, the Boxster S, the Cayman and the Cayman S now offer more standard features at the same MSRPs as last year. For example, standard equipment this year includes Bluetooth hands-free phone interface and a universal audio interface that provides connections for a MP3 player.

Also new for 2011 are popular equipment packages for the 2011 Porsche Boxster and 2011 Porsche Cayman models, with the exception of the new minimalistic Boxster Spyder. These new packages include the Convenience Package, the Infotainment Package, the Design Package, and the Design Sport package, all of which group attractive options at a value. For example, the Design Package groups 19-inch Spyder wheels, as well as black treatment of the exhaust pipes, rollbars (Boxster line only) the side panel intake, the outside rear view mirrors, dashboard trim cover, gear shift/selector lever trim cover, and dashboard air vents. Also new for 2011 are fresh metallic color options: Platinum Silver Metallic, Ruby Red and Amethyst Metallic.

2011 Porsche Boxster Spyder

Designed and built as a classic Porsche engine, the flat-six power in the Spyder offers optimum qualities for the Spyder, including low weight, a flat engine structure with a low center of gravity, and a reduction of inner friction. Furthermore, the crankcase is split up into two sections and comes as a closed-deck structure, while the car’s engine mounts are optimized to firmly connect the power plant to the body and thereby minimize movement.

The 2011 Porsche Boxster Spyder Making headlines around the world, Porsche’s newest mid-engine sports car, the 2011 Porsche Boxster Spyder model, offers a very high level of pure driving enjoyment. The newest member of the Boxster family stands out from the other versions of Porsche’s mid-engined roadster. Its low-slung, lightweight soft top when closed extends far to the rear to protect the driver and passenger from bright sunshine, wind and weather. This top, when combined with shorter side windows and two striking bulges on the single-piece rear lid, provides the Boxster Spyder with a sleek silhouette reminiscent of the Carrera GT super sports car.

2011 Porsche Boxster Spyder

Weighing in at just 2,811 lbs, the Spyder is the lightest Porsche available today this from a company known for lightweight, proficient sports cars. In many respects, it represents the most pure form of the sports car agile, powerful, open and efficient, combining maximum driving dynamics with minimum weight. The Boxster Spyder features a 3.4-liter six-cylinder engine with Direct Fuel Injection upfront of the rear axle. Maximum output is 320 horsepower (hp), 10 hp more than the
Boxster S.

Engineers were able to create the lightest Porsche by developing new weight-saving features and also by simply removing others. For example, the doors of the Spyder are made of aluminum a decision that saves 33 lbs from the conventional Boxster doors. Also, Porsche engineers used two extra-light sport bucket seats that save 26 pounds, and side windows that are lower and lighter. Another example of weight-saving engineering is the use of a strikingly designed single-piece rear lid made of aluminum, which saves nearly 7 pounds. Also newly developed for this car were the lightest 19-inch wheels in the Porsche pallet.

The unique, two-piece manual top not only saves 46 lbs but it also helps in lowering the new Boxster’s center of gravity by almost one inch. Of course, one of the most effective ways of saving weight is to simply leave out certain features that for the true driving purist are frivolous. For example, this new car does not come with a radio or with air conditioning (although both can be added as a no-cost option). Even interior door handles have been eliminated and replaced with light weight
cloth straps.

2011 Porsche Boxster Spyder

Under the hood, the engine’s extra power is primarily the result of an even more consistent use of Porsche’s high-speed concept, with the power unit featured in the 2011 Porsche Boxster Spyder reaching its peak output at 7,200 rpm, or 800 rpm more than the maximum engine speed of the Porsche Boxster S. The redline on the Spyder is 7,500. And while the Boxster S develops it maximum torque of 266 lbs/ft between 4,400 rpm and 5,500 rpm, the power unit featured in the Boxster Spyder reaches it peak torque of 273 lb-ft at 4,750.

Of course a particular highlight of the 3.4 power unit featured in the new 2011 Porsche Boxster Spyder and 2011 Boxster S is Direct Fuel Injection (DFI) with a homogeneous fuel/air mixture formation. DFI ensures a particularly smooth and consistent distribution of air and fuel within the combustion chamber. The result is a more optimum combustion quality at all times. DFI has a positive impact not only on the efficiency of the engine, but also on its performance characteristics. With fuel being injected within fractions of a second prior to the actual combustion process, the engine responds spontaneously to even the slightest movement of the gas pedal.

2011 Porsche Boxster Spyder Interior

Also contributing to the Boxster Spyder’s outstanding engine performance is the use of four oil sumps with on-demand controls. The oil follows the principle of an integrated dry sump, and as a result, the oil pump does not consume more energy than required and ensures exactly the right level of lubrication at all times. Feeding the Spyder engine with lots of fresh air is a high-flow intake system. This system uses a resonance distributor manifold between the right and left intake distributor pipe. Switching according to what is required at the time, the resonance flap adjusts the oscillation of air within the system to the current engine speed and demand, providing high torque at low speed, a smooth and consistent torque curve, and a high level of maximum power.

The combination of 10 more hp and 176 pounds less weight than the award-winning 2011 Porsche Boxster S, plus an all-new sport suspension that lowers the Boxster Spyder 20 mm, a lower center of gravity, a standard limited slip differential, and exclusive wheels provides the kind of driving dynamics that back up the unique look. When equipped with Porsche-Doppelkupplung (PDK) transmission and the Sports Chrono Package, the new Spyder, using Launch Control, accelerates from a standstill
to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds. Top track speed is 166 mph with the roof open. EPA figures are 19 city/26 highway and 20 city/29 highway with a manual and PDK gearbox, respectively. The 2011 Boxster Spyder is priced at $61,200, plus $950 for destination.
