It’s all about the little paddle. The titanium jewelry piece that is behind the wheel triggers an additional 160 hp and the 2010 Porsche 911 GT3 R spews from hybrid immediately. It’s like a turbocharger, except that they continue their support immediately, when you want it. This is a hybrid of the, as we have never experienced and it is absolutely sensational.
We come from a tight second gear left-handers in the run up to the banks of this American-style oval track. The negative camber and the car bogs a bit like the battle for the rear tires hook up Tweak that small titanium paddle and ignited a couple of the front tire suddenly. It is a shaking of the protest by the steering wheel and the car pick up and easy to fly. Six seconds later, the promotion in fifth gear at 150 miles per hour.
This is the Lausitz Ring, an oval course extravagant and infield road course, 100 miles south of Berlin. Built for Indy-style cars, it has been seven years since riding the U.S. Open Wheelers last here, leave the room for Audi and Mercedes-Benz in the DTM. Today, only two carriers and a Porsche race car, the orange and white, of all things, a gas-electric hybrid is.
The 2010 Porsche 911 GT3 R hybrid led the legendary Nürburgring 24 hour race just threw this in May last year to 22 hours at a valve spring a trap. This car is the Porsche test for hybrid drives, the only of its kind in the world. Finally, there is no doubt that their place in the Porsche Museum celebrated, unless something goes terribly wrong today. As we reached for our helmets, we know that if we stick to the wall, we will make our own infamous footnote in the history of Porsche writing.

Science Experiment
What makes this so special special Porsche 911 is the bit on the back, because dip behind the rear can be the same 473-hp 4.0-liter flat-6, which is a standard GT3-R race car. Instead of the clever bit sits beside the driver. Where is the passenger seat should be, is a cylindrical box that looks like it would have crushed
a washing machine. This hides a flywheel to 40,000 rpm and storage of energy as mechanical energy can spin rotation.
The system was amended by the Williams Formula 1 team in 2008, developed in response to new rules to restrict the use of KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems). While other teams, notably Ferrari and McLaren produced – more traditional batteries in hybrid systems, Williams developed concept of the flywheel, but it was never a race. With KERS in Formula 1 for 2010 (it returns next year, prohibited), Williams took an outlet for his work, prompted an unlikely alliance with Porsche.
Williams, the flywheel and converter built, “said Hartmut Kristen, Porsche Motorsport Director,” but this is a customized solution for Porsche. We had a higher duty cycle engineering, as in Formula 1, you can only increase the performance of one used to be once a round, but in a sports car he can use as much as possible. We also wanted more power, 120 instead of 60 kilowatts. “The flywheel is designed to power two electric motors in the nose used connected to the front wheels. When fully charged, you can increase for about 6-8 seconds.
If you slow down, reverse the two electric motors their roles and act as generators to recharge to the flywheel, almost like a 180-mph-drive Prius. “A flywheel solution has a decisive advantage over a battery,” says Kristen. “With a battery-based solution, you can not collect all the energy to do would be overcome because the batteries are destroyed. You only collect a fraction of Wat’s available. But with a flywheel solution, this problem ceases to exist.
Although the system is inherently mechanical, computers are still an important role. For maximum are attacked, the electric motors used to fill petrol, offers an additional 160 hp. But for long-distance races, they can also be used to fuel savings. Nürburgring 1924, the Porsche GT3 R of the team really excited gasoline, so it was thin, instructed to facilitate the help of electric motors deliver a performance that are equivalent to normal GT3 R. The result was a 25 percent improvement in range and are an impressive race on the track.
