Porsche has developed a new hybrid version of their GT3 model, built with two electric motors. The Porsche 911 GT3 R Hybrid will be introduced in Geneva next month with endurance testing set to begin just before summer.

However, this is not a full hybrid vehicle in the same vein as the Toyota Prius. Porsche opted to use a flywheel generator in a Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS). The generator's rotor spins up to 40,000 rpm, and combines with regenerative brakes to send up to eight-second power bursts to the electric motors.

For the car, Porsche paired their rear-mounted 4.0-liter 480-horsepower flat-six engine with two electrical motors mounted at the front. The two motors produce up to 120 kW, or roughly 161 hp.

The Porsche 911 GT3 R Hybrid will participate in the 24 Hours on the Nordschleife of Nürburgring in mid-May.

Williams? Já esteve mais longe da F1.[:cool:]

Vai usar um sistema parecido com o KERS da F1, alguém consegue explicar esse sistema?

Tanto quanto eu percebi não tem baterias para armazenar a energia mas sim uma roda de inércia que quando é necessário liberta a energia, mas tenho ainda várias dúvidas, por exemplo a roda de inércia vai perdendo energia mesmo sem estar a ser utilizada, até quanto tempo se pode usar a energia? A roda não sofre com as forças a que o carro é sujeito? O movimento dessa roda não se torna altamente perigoso em caso de acidente?

Technology and Art


TECHART World Premiere at the Geneva Motor-Show

Since 1974, this vehicle has been making the hearts of true sports car fans beat faster: the Porsche 911 Turbo – a masterpiece made of the finest materials and a symbol of top engineering and design. An almost-perfect sports car. Almost, because individuality and personality are essential elements in achieving perfection. TECHART stands for the creation of individual masterpieces for sports car enthusiasts looking to give their vehicle a touch of individual flair. The result is the TECHART personalization program for the new 911 Turbo and 911 Turbo S models consisting of a new aerodynamic package, light metal wheels, and exquisite interiors will be presented in early March at the 80th international Motor-Show in Switzerland.

Absolute performance – no compromises
The new Aerodynamic Kit I emphasizes the Turbo's inner strengths without being excessive or overloaded. The sturdy RIM polyurethane exterior reduces aerodynamic lift on both axles, allowing smoother handling capability at extreme speeds. One striking feature is the front spoiler, with its dynamically-accented air intake valves and seamless integration. As your eyes pass to the side of the vehicle, you notice the airflow-optimizing side sills, which are stretched to make the vehicle seem to sit lower. A small roof spoiler on the Coupe elongates the visual appearance of the roof line. The spoiler profile can generate additional downforce with the extensible rear spoiler. Rounding off the modified back end is the diffuser, which extends the standard skirt downwards. Personalized mirror moldings add yet another sporty accent and enhance the unique TECHART appearance.

The same applies to the TECHART Aerodynamic Kit II. Independent front and rear spoilers optimize mass air flow for improved ventilation of the braking and intercooler systems. TECHART's multifunctional daytime running lights are available for the front spoiler II. It combines daytime running lights, position illumination, sidelights, parking lights, and turn signals in a combined housing that fits seamlessly into the design of the vehicle front. The display brightness of the daytime running lights automatically adjusts to the selected daytime lighting setting. Furthermore, the daytime running lights dim automatically when either of the turning signals is active, in order to improve their visibility.

The high performance look and unmistakable TECHART design are also reflected in the wheel enhancements. Connecting the powerful torque of up to 700 Nm securely to the asphalt are the TECHART Formula light metal wheels, with their modern 5-spoke design. The product range includes TECHART Formula, Formula II, or filigree Formula III alloy-forged wheels in up to 20-inch formats. This classic form guarantees efficient heat diffusion and displays the braking system. For optimum road grip, TECHART recommends Conti Sport Contact 3 or tires of the brand Michelin Pilot Sport PS2.

In addition, TECHART's Noselift System is also available for the new 911 Turbo. This makes problems with everyday obstacles a thing of the past for this vehicle. At the push of a button, ca. 60 mm of additional space can be created between the road and the front spoiler by lifting the vehicle height on the front axle. The hydraulic TECHART Noselift System is very reliable, easy to retrofit, and exhibits the everyday applicability you expect from TECHART.

Elegant TECHART interior designs
TECHART's interiors for the new models are unmistakable: clear yet elegant, sporty yet comfortable, the cockpit, seats, doors, and roof make for a luxurious experience. These sporty enhancements please all the senses – smell and touch included. For instance, the interior could be completely outfitted with the finest leather. The TECHART 3-spoke sporty steering wheel, aluminum pedals, dials in individual colors, or stainless steel entry strips embossed with the TECHART logo are all installable options. For exteriors and interiors, TECHART knows how to engage the emotions – and please the senses.

Experience the TECHART personalization program yourself for the Porsche 911 Turbo and the 911 Turbo S at the Geneva Motor-Show from March 4–14, 2010 at the TECHART Stand in Hall 2.
