Porsche 992.2 Carrera GTS Premiere

on

On 28. May Porsche premiered the first 911 Hybrid. An electric motor was added in between gearbox and the new 3.6l internal combustion engine. Another electric motor was added to the mono-Turbo drastically alter its characteristics. 

While some changes like the new front and rear bumper are obvious, I will only comment on the changes which are particularly interesting to me.

Hybridization:

  • It's a performance hybrid. The mild hybridization hardly has any impact on range or fuel consumption (exact figures were not released yet). Porsche calls the system "T-Hybrid", short for turbo-hybrid.
  • The main e-motor/generator sits in-between the PDK and the combustion engine. There's no clutch separating it from flat-six engine. It is also used to start the engine.
  • In the GTS the e-motor delivers 41kW/54PS, max. 150Nm torque and recuperates max xxkW when braking. The e-motor eliminates the need to install a dedicated starter or generator
  • The combined max power output is 398kW/541PS at 7500rpm (357kW/485PS from the flat-six)
  • The second e-motor is integrated in the Turbo, with 20kW/27hp it can spool up the Turbo whenever needed and reasonable to avoid turbo lag. It can recuperate up to 11kW from the hot exhaust gas pressure.
  • The electric energy is stored in a new liquid-cooled 1.9kWh lithium-ion battery, it weighs 27kg.
  • 400V electric infrastructure.
New flat-six engine:
  • Newly developed flat-six 3.6l engine which is 110mm lower now. new electrified mono-turbo instead of bi-turbo from the 991.1.
  • Reduced size to make space for the added electric parts, no belts anymore.
  • bore and stroke now 97.0 by 81.0 mm, used to be 91.0 by 76.4mm in 992.1.

What's new in the GTS
  • Android Auto now also usable in the 911.
  • New Matrix Headlights with 32'000 LEDs available.
  • Active aero and other optimizations reduce the aerodynamics drag cW from .32 to .285
  • very low 0-100km/h time of 3.0s / 0-200km/h in 10.5s
  • Rear wheel steering and Porsche dynamic chassis control PDCC are now standard.
  • Price went up quite significantly but the the total power output and the 0-100km/h time are greatly improved plus many extras from the past are now included.
  • wider rear tires > now 315mm wide.
  • Intercooler outlet moved from the sides to the middle section (left and right of the exhaust).
  • Back seats were deleted to reduce weight, but you can add them for zero cost to your configuration.
  • Although the new battery is installed in the front, the frunk size remains a practical and unchanged 135l.
  • Top speed is 312km/h.
