After a long time in the form of testing, supercar Porsche 918 Spyder roadster has officially revealed the production version. This car is top of the German car company and is currently the only car of Porsche engine using hybrid system.
Porsche 918 Spyder is equipped with petrol engine block, mid-mounted, 4.6-liter capacity V8 brings 608 horsepower capacity, when operating independently, this is the highest power level of engine exhaust themselves However Porsche has ever produced.
Together with that, the Porsche 918 Spyder is equipped with two electric motors mounted on two axles, with the ability to operate independently or combined with gasoline engines. When combined operation, this hybrid propulsion systems can bring on the Porsche 918 Spyder 880 hp power, through the transmission 7-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung gearbox (PDK).
Porsche 918 Spyder influenced many of the sports racing cars. Many application technologies for cars raced the 24 Hours of Le Mans 2014 was applied on the production version of this supercar roadster.Typically, the use of technology monocoque chassis monocoque made from carbon-fiber and multi-link frame. Besides, the framework will also incorporate active damping system Porsche ACTICE Suspension Management (PASM).
Porsche also equipped the 918 Spyder 5 different driving modes, activated by buttons on the steering wheel integration. In driving mode "E-Power", the Porsche 918 Spyder fully operational by the second pair of electric motors for vehicles, with a maximum distance of 32 km move. Meanwhile, in driving mode "hybrid" electric motor and gasoline engine operate alternately, to provide efficient performance and best fuel economy.
The driving mode "Sport Hybrid", the gasoline engine will operate continuously, acting as the engine block to provide the main thrust. Meanwhile, the electric motor will be activated to support the acceleration of the car through phone or launch function at the time of the internal combustion engine can be optimized to provide the ability to operate more efficiently .
In the "Race Hybrid", the Porsche 918 Spyder will operate with the highest capacity possible. Internal combustion engines are placed in a state of maximum activity and is capable of charging the battery for the electric motor, while excess capacity. Meanwhile, the electric motor will also have a supporting role in accelerating this driving mode. Button "Hot Lap" on the steering wheel, can be activated only when in "Race Hybrid", will release the stored energy in the battery, to increase performance over a short distance.
In addition, the Porsche 918 Spyder customers can select equipment packages "Weissach" by the German automaker offers. With the package, the color of the car will be different than the standard and are designed in inspiration from the legendary racing cars of Porsche. The wheels were replaced with magnesium alloy, weighing about 35 kg lighter. 6-point seatbelts for driver and front passenger, together with a number of accessories that increase aerodynamics and carbon fiber details.
During the development of the Porsche 918 Spyder, the tire problem was the German automaker's experts very concerned. A total of 550 samples tires are manufactured and tested in the test car.Another 600 samples were produced, before Porsche decided to use Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, size 265/35 ZR 20 front and 325/30 ZR 21 rear. This is a dedicated Tire Porsche 918 Spyder.
The last part of this package is equipped with Porsche Active aerodynamic (PAA). The system works in three stages, automatic switching between optimizing performance and maximizing downforce car down the road. In driving mode "Race", rear wing is set with large inclination, to increase downforce car down the road. The rear frame is also expanding. Two parts front adjustable wind is also open to increased pressure in the front.
In driving mode "Sport Hybrid", the control system will reduce the aerodynamic angle of the rear wing a bit, to be able to reach higher speeds. Division adjustable wind front is closed, to reduce friction and increase speed of vehicles. Meanwhile, in driving mode "E-Power" system which will optimize the car's aerodynamic properties, so that the friction in the lowest level, rear wing recorded. Wind cavity below the headlamps are also closed.
In contrast, in "Race Hybrid" or "Sport Hybrid", the wind cavity opens up the ability to increase engine cooling.
