Porsche 918 Spyder Concept has high-performance sports car in Geneva very effective concept and super-fast car with plug-in hybrid.
Stuttgart Presenting a concept sports car central high performance ultra-efficient engine, low-emission drive technology, Dr. Ing hc F Porsche AG, Stuttgart, further increasing the competence of the Company's hybrid technology.
The 918 Spyder prototype combines high-tech racing features and electro-mobility to offer a fascinating range of qualities An emission level of just 70 grams of CO2 per kilometer on fuel consumption of three liters per 100 kilometers equal 94 mpg imp truly outstanding even for an ultra -compact city car, on the one hand, combined with the performance of a super sports car and acceleration from standstill to 100 km h in just under 3 February seconds, tip speed of 320 km h over 198 mph, and a tower on the Nürburgring Nordschleife in less than 7 30 minutes, even faster than the Porsche Carrera GT, on the other.
The 918 Spyder is one of three Porsche models with hybrid drive making their world premiere at the Geneva Motor Show 2010 This trio of Cayenne S Hybrid SUV with parallel full hybrid drive Porsche 911 GT3 R Hybrid racing car with electric drive on the front axle and a flywheel mass battery, and the two seater high-performance 918 Spyder engined sports car with plug-in hybrid clearly demonstrates not only the great bandwidth of this new drive technology, but also the innovative power of Porsche as a pioneer in the hybrid drive.
The highly innovative 918 Spyder concept car combines Porsche Intelligent Performance technology, high-tech in motorsport, and classic but modern design to make a truly convincing statement.
The Porsche 918 Spyder with plug-in hybrid provides the performance of a super sports car thoroughbreds on fuel consumption of just three liters per 100 kilometers in the New European Driving Cycle, equal to an emission rating 70 g CO2 km.
This two open seats is powered by a high-speed V8 developing more than 500 bhp and running at maximum engine speed of 9200 rpm, as well as electric motors on the front axle and rear with an output overall mechanical 218 hp 160 kilowatts.
The V8 combustion engine is a development of the highly successful 3 power unit 4 liters already featured in the RS Spyder racing car and positioned midship in front of the rear axle, giving the car the right set-up for supreme performance on the race track through its good balance.
Power is transmitted to the wheels by a seven-speed Porsche-Doppel- kupplungsgetriebe also supplies the power of the electric drive system to the rear axle of four-wheel electric drive powers the wheels through a transmission ratio closed.
The energy reservoir is a lithium-ion battery cooled by fluid behind the passenger cell The great advantage is that the battery plug-in hybrid can be loaded on the regular grid Another point is that one converts the kinetic energy of the vehicle into electrical energy introduced into the battery during application of the brakes, thus providing additional energy for fast and dynamic acceleration.
A button on the steering wheel allows the driver to choose between four different operating modes The E-Drive mode is for running the car in electric mode with a range of up to 25 kilometers or 16 miles in Hybrid 918 Spyder uses fashion both electric motors and the combustion based on the engine driving conditions and requirements, offering a range of particularly fuel-efficient to extra-powerful.
The Hybrid Sport mode uses both drive systems, but with a focus on performance Most of the drive power goes to the rear wheels, with Torque Vectoring serving to further improve the driving dynamics of the car.
In hybrid mode running, the drive systems are focused on pure performance with the highest level of driving dynamics on the track, running at the limit of their power and dynamic output with the battery sufficiently charged, a push-to-pass button feeds more electricity E-Boost, for example when overtaking or for even better performance.
With the hybrid drive system offering this wide range of individual modes and applications, the 918 Spyder is able either to achieve lap times comparable to those of a car thoroughbred racing as less than 7 30 minutes on the Nürburgring Nordschleife, or focusing on a more economical style of motoring, with a reduction in emissions to only 70 grams of CO2 per kilometer.
As the traction chain, light body structure of the 918 Spyder also relates to the DNA of the car directly forward of motor sport The modular structure with its monocoque carbon body reinforced plastic fiber CFP and the appropriate use of magnesium and aluminum, not only reduce the weight to less than 1.490 kg or 3.285 lb, but also ensure a higher driving precision thanks to the very high level of torsional rigidity.
Reminiscent of cars, very successful legendary race like the Porsche 917 Le Mans and the current Porsche RS Spyder, the 918 Spyder with its concept of design typical of Porsche arouses powerful emotions Combining the dimensions of race car design clearly structured with perfectly balanced surfaces, and innovative details throughout creates a global model of aesthetic harmony, perfectly balanced in the complete design of the power and dynamics It is indeed the perfect synthesis of form and function next Porsche design DNA.
The smooth balance of tradition and progress gives the car a powerful stance on the road in its combination of typical variable aerodynamic dimensions of Porsche ensure both visionary and traditional highlights especially around the rear spoiler The rear hoods striking extending over the headrest, in turn, not only fulfill an aerodynamic function on the 918 Spyder, but also accommodate retractable air intakes having a ram air function.
The driver and passenger are not only perfectly embedded in contoured sports bucket seats but also form part of the cockpit with its synthesis of efficient function and ergonomic high-tech operation offering an outlook at the interior architecture, we can perhaps see in super sports cars in the future the three free standing circular dials for road speed left in the middle of the motor speed and energy right management seem to come directly from a car racing in the 60s, supporting this unique philosophy of driver orientation so characteristic of Porsche.
The center console rising up to the front in the 918 Spyder houses a touch-sensitive surface for intuitive control of the car's functions, always serving to reduce the number of visible controls and maintain direct operating principle.
Relevant to the driver control units are concentrated in particular on the three-spoke multifunction sports steering wheel while driving variable modes, again typical of Porsche, are supplemented by a map switch enabling the driver to call up various programs drive and serving as the push button pass-to-E-amplification, for example during an illumination exceeding Instrument, finally, varies from green to red oriented consumption operation modes for programs drive performance oriented.
The 918 Spyder also comes with further innovative functions such as the manager of the range After being activated in the Center Display, the manager of the range uses the map in the navigation system to present the remaining range the car is able to cover, which naturally allows the driver to influence that range through the appropriate choice of power and performance in cities with environmental alert areas range manager also states whether the driver is able to reach a only certain destination on electric power.
Applying this information and using more information on the availability and location of special energy filling stations, the driver is then able to choose his driving style and the battery charge and good filling strategy.
Offering a unique combination of extremely low fuel consumption, high performance and long electric range, the Porsche 918 Spyder represents an essential milestone in Porsche's strategy on the way to the actual electro-mobility.
