Videos: Porsche "Genetic Code"

0 comments

Porsche has just released a set of new "Genetic Code" videos showcasing the manufactures latest and greatest!

Here are some of our favorites



A lightweight lithium-ion battery is optionally available for the Boxster Spyder, the 911 GT3 RS, the 911 GT3 and the 911 GT2 RS. Its shape and function are comparable to those of a conventional lead battery. However, the lithium-ion battery offers a weight saving of more than 10 kg in comparison with the conventional vehicle battery used as standard. These are not all the advantages, however: the compact construction reduces the height by approx. 70 mm, the power output is uniformly high regardless of the charge state, the number of charging and discharging operations is also higher and the service life is longer.



The benchmark could hardly have been set any higher: the 911 GT2. The objective: to create something even better. The means: Porsche Intelligent Performance. The result: the new 911 GT2 RS. No lack of muscle. No excess weight. No more than 500 vehicles. On the most demanding race track in the world, this concept car peaked with a lap time of 7 minutes and 18 seconds. The factor predominantly responsible for this enhanced performance: Porsche Intelligent Performance. An efficiency concept, which is reflected for example in an effective lightweight construction. Consequently, for every 1 hp in the 911 GT2 RS there is only 2.21 kg of body weight.



The very first sports car to bear the Porsche name won races. We treasure our heritage and never forget where we came from. In the field of motor sports we have achieved countless successes and written history. In motor sports, fractions of seconds count. This is what our engineers are working for. Example: Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK). Extremely fast gear changes with no interruption in traction at any time. Yielding a substantial improvement in acceleration values and fuel economy. Our genetic code is particularly evident here. Technology is not an end in itself. Instead the driver should benefit.
