2015 McLaren P1 versus 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder! - Head 2 Head Ep 64.
Page 1 of 3 Next The 918 Spyder captures the essence of the concept Porsche combines racing technology with excellent pedigree utility every day, and maximum performance with minimum consumption The task faced by the development team was to create the super sports car for the next decade with a very efficient and powerful hybrid engine car development from scratch, starting appropriately with a white sheet of paper, allowed the team to find a concept without compromise the car was completely designed around the hybrid drive of the 918 Spyder therefore demonstrates the potential of the hybrid drive to a degree never seen before parallel improving the efficiency and performance without being at the expense of another This is the idea that made the 911 the most successful sports car in the world for 50 years in short, the 918 Spyder will act as p ool genetics for Porsche sports cars of the future.
The 918 Spyder reveals its close ties motorsport in a variety of ways it was designed, developed and produced by Porsche engineers who build racing cars, in collaboration with the production specialists of the series A large acquired knowledge of deal in the development of racing cars Porsche 24 hour race at Le Mans in 2014 is well integrated with the 918 Spyder - and vice versa the structural design of the 918 Spyder with a chassis as a base - a base vehicle that can be driven even bodiless - is tradition at Porsche race car concept V8 engine comes from the racing car RS Spyder LMP2 bearing structures, monohulls and subframe are polymeric carbon fiber reinforced Porsche has many years of experience with this high-strength, lightweight materials and has again outperformed the development p roduction Series 918 Spyder many parts of the super sports car come from manufacturers that have proved themselves as s uppliers for motorsports vehicles.
A key message of the 918 Spyder is the hybrid drive Porsche is a plus for uncompromising driving dynamics Drivers can experience this through the unique concept of all-wheel drive with an engine combining combustion and electric motor on rear axle and the second electric motor on the front axle is based on the knowledge acquired by Porsche in motor racing with the successful 911 GT3 R Hybrid because of the addition, individually adjustable front wheel, new driving strategies passing speeds extremely high curve, safe can be implemented, in particular for further turns, the peak amplification strategy manages the energy of the electric motor in an intelligent manner that for each sprint with maximum acceleration, the full power of the 918 Spyder can be exploited by simply pressing the accelerator Brief Background, 918 Spyder even allows drivers without motor sport training discovering the potential of the longitudinal and transverse dynamics tip.
The Porsche 918 Spyder also has the potential to break more records The current lap time for the Nürburgring Nordschleife of N is July 14 minutes this time was carried out in the presence of international journalists during the test campaigns in September 2012 - more a year before the start of production 918 Spyder prototype was therefore about 20 seconds faster than the Porsche Carrera GT more on North Loop test drives N follow a more important factor is that surpasses the 918 Spyder previous models and competitors far in its effectiveness, as well as a plug-in hybrid vehicle, it automatically combines the dynamic performance of a racing machine with over 880 hp and a low NEDC fuel consumption, which in some three liters of fuel per 100 km is better than most small cars today to sum up to a maximum driving pleasure with fuel consumption of c arburant minimum.
The Spyder 918 uses the best state of the art technologies, taken directly from racing, to achieve superior performance entire load bearing structure is made of carbon fiber reinforced polymer fiber carbon to extreme torsional rigidity additional collision members to the front and rear absorb and reduce the energy of a collision of the car empty weight of about 1640 kg Weissach package, excellent light weight for a vehicle hybrid of this performance class, is largely attributable to this concept the powertrain components and all components weighing more than 50 kg are located as low and as centrally as possible in the vehicle as a result, a load distribution of slightly biased rear end axle 57 percent on the rear axle and 43 percent on the front axle associated with a scaled center ty very low at approximately the height of the wheel hubs, which is ideal for driving dynamics the central position and low traction battery directly behind the driver onl y supports efforts to concentrate the mass and lowering the center of gravity; it also provides the best temperature conditions for optimum power capacity of the battery.
The multi-link chassis of the Porsche 918 Spyder is inspired by the design of motorsport, supplemented by other systems such as the adaptive shock absorber system PASM and direction of the rear axle Basically, it includes a control system electromechanical at each rear wheel adjustment is speed sensitive and performs steering angles of up to three degrees in each direction the rear axle may be oriented in the same direction as the front wheels or opposed to each other at low speeds, the system directs the rear wheels in a direction opposite to that of the front wheels which makes them even more direct turns, quicker and more accurate and reduces the rolling circle at higher speeds, the system directs the rear wheels in the same direction as the front wheels which significantly improves the stability of the rear end when changing lanes Quick The result is very safe and stable handling.
Porsche aerodynamic active PAA, an adjustable airfoils system provides unique and aerodynamic variables; its layout is automatically varied in three ways ranging from maximum effectiveness and maximum contact force is set to the operating modes of the hybrid drive system in the run mode, the retractable rear spoiler is set to a steep angle to generate high pressure force on the rear axle the spoiler arranged between the two wing supports near the trailing edge the air flow also extends further two adjustable air dampers are opened in the ground in front of the front axle, and they direct a portion of air in the broadcast channels of the base structure of this product also a ground effect on the front axle.
In sport mode, the aerodynamic control system reduces the angle of attack of the wing back slightly, allowing a higher maximum speed Extended spoiler remains The airfoils in the area on the ground nearby, which also reduces aerodynamic drag and increases the vehicle speed available in E mode, the control is configured entirely low aerodynamic drag; the rear wing and spoiler is retracted and the flaps are closed by the ground.
Air inlets adjustable under the main headlights complement the adaptive aerodynamic system When the vehicle is stopped and running mode and Sport, they are open to the maximum cooling air intake in E-Power and hybrid modes they close immediately after the car is driven to maintain the aerodynamic drag to a minimum, they are not open until the car reaches a speed of about 130 km h or when cooling requirements are higher page 1 of 3 Next.
