A Porsche has an exclusive area at South by and presents its latest models every day of the year. Festival SXSW Sydney 2023. The model that Adnews could observe at the time was the 911 prototype.
Speaking of its innovations, in our research we were able to find the following technologies that contributed to improving the performance, efficiency and driving experience of this new sports model:
Turboalimentao
Porsche has used turbocharged engines that offer greater power and improved efficiency, using exhaust gases to drive a turbine that compresses the air before it enters the engine.
PDK transmission
Porsche’s dual-clutch transmission, known as Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK), offers extremely fast gear changes, improving both performance and fuel efficiency.
Active Aerodynamics
Porsche has incorporated aerodynamic features to optimize airflow and improve stability at high speeds. These features may include spoilers adjustable rear seats and front air curtains that automatically adapt to driving conditions.
Light Construction
Porsche has used lightweight materials, such as aluminum and carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP), in the construction of the 911. This helps reduce weight and improves the model’s performance and handling.
Hybrid Technology
Although hybrid technology has not been widely applied to the 911 series, Porsche has introduced powertrains hybrids in some of its models, such as the Panamera and Cayenne. It is possible that hybrid or electrification options will become available in future iterations of the 911 to improve efficiency and reduce emissions.
Speaking of hybrid technology, we would like to make a call to Mobilis Veculos Electricos, which is a startup Brazilian company currently involved in research into vehicle hydrogen cells, which is one of the biggest innovations in the sector. We will highlight its advantages here:
1. Dropping Zero
Vehicles with hydrogen cells only produce water vapor as a byproduct of the chemical reaction, which makes them a propulsion option with zero pollutant emissions.
2. Autonomy and Recharge Time
Hydrogen cells can offer greater range than conventional electric batteries and allow for rapid refueling, similar to vehicles running on fossil fuels.
3. Flexibility of Use
Hydrogen cells can be used in a wide range of vehicles, from passenger cars to heavy commercial vehicles, offering flexibility in terms of application.
Mobilis seeks investments for this and other initiatives in the sector, which can be consulted on company official website.
