SPESIFIKASI Porsche Cayenne Diesel

Well, blurred where? Of course with the Porsche name frill would run away if things can be done quickly. On the surface of asphalt, of course. Well, this time passing lane roads make matters worse aka off-road, still unable to escape? Obviously with the variant of the Porsche SUV, the Cayenne. Now comes the second generation, and tested on the track SCOP (Sentul City Off-road Park), Sentul.

Athletic Body
Porsche Cayenne was first launched in 2002 the same platform with the Volkswagen Touareg and Audi Q7. Then experienced a facelift, and this time it appears with the second generation, who looked pretty much unchanged.

From afar, the new Cayenne looks smaller than its predecessor. And that's just a trick the eye alone, even greater dimensions than the previous version. Why is that?

Design your strengths that make this ride like a junkie bodied athletic sports, although still looked slim big. Some of the grooves on the body is made more pointed, especially the engine hood is designed with wide rounded up to the end of the muzzle of a shark-like grille.

In SCOP location, there are two models of the Porsche Cayenne, Porsche Cayenne S and Porsche Cayenne diesel. Now, turn the quota assigned to the solar drinkers grind aka dirt path off-road track in the area of Sentul, Bogor, it was.

Just like other Luxurious SUV, like the Land Rover Discovery, Audi Q7, BMW X5, and Volkswagen Touareg and Toyota Land Cruiser, cabin equipment arguably similar. Having a tuner equipped electric memory seats, individual air circulation, and other trinkets.

At the Porsche Cayenne is also equipped with air suspension, so the height can be adjusted to level the path impassable. Discovery did not like more specific suspension tuning in the field of off-road, more like the Touareg Cayenne which setting divided in Sport, Normal and Comfort. In this pathway Comfort option is used.

Automatic car height was increased. In order for the corners in the bigger pools on the road surface, so that baseball stuck with the body.

In addition there are other equipment on the Porsche is PTM (Porsche Traction Management). These appliances are also on other types such as 911 Carrera and the Panamera, but the Cayenne diesel, there is little difference, because it is used for off-road terrain.

To climb steep, Cayenne turbo torque feels this is far from enough to climb, let alone PTM dividing the front and rear traction wheels with self locking differential, which is the portion of the rear: the front of 60:40, to be divided again when one wheel loses traction with the aid of Antislip on the differential regulation.

Plus the Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus, so that the rear differential locked, so the traction to the road surface more leverage.

This time tested when passing a high mound, so that one wheel is lifted, traction is still good for three other wheels, while wheels that lose traction because the lift was going to stop the rotation through a coordinated braking with ASR and ABD.

Completed PHC (Porsche Hill Control) are also present, serves to hold the speed to be in 3 to 30 km / h on steep derivatives. However, at a negative angle where in addition to declining and tilted, slightly, to lump these functions, such as spoken Yuma Wiranata Kusumah, a seasoned off-roader as an instructor this activity.

"If you've experienced, better off just this functionality and control with the brakes, because this function is active when the car would be stuck alone and even slide the back," he said.

However, for ordinary drivers, of course very useful features in another brand called Hill Descent Control is. Stay wheel drive only, no need to worry mounts sliding uncontrollably.

So, with the Porsche Cayenne, other than fit for speeding on the asphalt, also still can be relied upon to 'flee' into the street without asphalt aka off-road.

Even more important again, thanks to a plug-in hybrid technology, this Spyder requires only 3.0 liters of fuel for 100 km, producing low emissions as much as 70 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometer.

All sources of energy that comes from the 3400 cc V8 engine mounted on the rear axle with more power than 500 hp. This machine is also similar to those used in the Porsche RS Spyder. But for the rear wheel, a source of energy produced by three electric motors which, when all work is able to produce power equal to 215 hp.

That is, not a difficult thing for the 918 Spyder in accelerate from 0-100 km per hour. Open-topped sports car that just took 3.2 seconds to move from rest to 100 kpj. If you want more adrenaline peaked, please stepped on the gas pedal a little deeper, because this hybrid car could be driven up to 320 km / hour. Power for distribute it to the rear-wheel drive through a transmission 7-speed Porsche MDD.

There are four key driving modes can be selected by the driver 918 Spyder. Namely "E-drive" which allows the battery power to work alone until it reaches a distance of 25 km. In addition there are mode "hybrid" that combines the performance of a conventional engine with an electric motor while still pressing the fuel consumption.

There is also a fashion "Sport Hybrid" which emphasizes performance but still use the electric motor performance, as well as fashion "Race Hybrid" which stresses maximum performance conventional engine with an additional burst of energy from the optimal performance of an electric motor to accelerate.

Energy for the hybrid system 918 Spyder is stored in lithium-ion battery can be recharged on conventional electricity sources in the home. kinetic energy from regenerative braking can recharge the car battery for a car is running.

"We will develop a model in Weissach 918 Spyder and assembles them in Zuffenhausen. It has also become a very important commitment to Germany as a production base," said Michael Macht, President and Chairman of the Board of Management as quoted Worldcarfans, Thursday (29 / 7 / 2010).

Supercar that will embrace the hybrid system is planned to be released with the price of 500,000 euros or approximately USD 5.87 billion, or more expensive than a Carrera GT for this to be the Porsche most expensive car.

13-year-old WCF member and Porschephile, porschecarreragtmay6, has created some renderings of a Porsche 918 RSR race car. Based on the 918 Spyder concept, the pictures show a hardcore coupe, wearing some classic Porsche liveries, designed to compete in the GT1 class.
2013 Porsche Sports Cars 918 RSR Race Car
Although these renderings were created back in March, shortly after the 918 Spyder's surprise unveiling in Geneva, they provide a potential glimpse of a race spec 918 in the wake of recent reports that Porsche will field the 918 Spyder at the 24 Hours of Nurburgring in 2011.
The 2013 Porsche 918 RSR Race Car comes with 2 electric motors and a 500hp V8 from the “RS Spyder” LMP-2 car. The 918 RSR Race Car will drop the electric motors, but will retain the KERs and 500 hp V8. Since GT1 regulated no more than 600 hp, Porsche may remove air-restrictors from the engine to boost the output to 600hp.
As a refresher, the 918 Spyder concept featured a 368 kW (500 PS / 493 hp) V8 engine and three electric motors with a total of 160 kW (218 PS / 215 hp). Packing a combined 528 kW (718 PS / 708 hp), the Spyder sent power through a PDK dual-clutch gearbox (with an electric boost function) to an electric all-wheel drive system.
The 918 RSR model will race the same competitions as the classical 917 race car. It will drop the electric motors, but will retain the KERS and the 500hp V8. Since the GT1 regulates no more than 600hp, Porsche may remove air-restrictors from the engine to boost the output to 600hp. The "918 RSR" will be able to hit a top speed of 200mph and will make the 0 to 60 mph sprint in than 3.0 seconds.
It will feature a wider track, redesigned front and rear diffusers, as well as a fixed hard-top roof and a huge rear wing. The liveries on these images were created based off of the classic Porsche liveries and designed to compete in the GT1 class.
The Porsche 918 RSR Race Car will top in the 200mph range and will reach 62mph in less than 3.0 seconds, possibly 2.8 seconds. The weight will be around 1,240 kilos, 2,730 lbs.
The weight loss will comes from the loss of the batteries stripped interior and loss of amenities even more extensive use of carbon fiber and a reconstruction of body work.

Stuttgart. Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, is adding yet another new model to the second generation of the 911 model series: the new GT3 even more powerful, faster, and refined than its predecessor. In developing the most sporting and dynamic road-going 911 with a normal-aspiration power unit, Porsche has applied a wide range of know-how gained in motorsport. Indeed, this is precisely why the 2010 new Porsche 911 GT3 is truly impressive not only on the road, but also on the race track.
2010 Porsche Sports Cars 911 GT3
The 2010 new Porsche 911 GT3 is the latest evolution of an iconic sports car. Embodying the essence of more than 23,000 Porsche racing victories, the 911 GT3 is the ultimate integration of driver and car and arrives in the UK this autumn. The new 911 GT3 is making its world debut at the Geneva Motor Show on 3 March, with Europe-wide sales starting in May.
The Porsche 911 GT3 offers an even higher standard above all in two key areas: performance and driving dynamics. The proven six-cylinder naturally aspirated power unit now develops a maximum output of 435 hp (320 kW), up 20 hp over its predecessor. This results first and foremost from an increase in engine capacity by 200 cc to 3.8-litres and from improved cylinder head gas flow: now not only the intake, but for the first time also the exhaust camshafts, are adjusted by VarioCam.
A further important point is that, through its upgraded power and performance, the flat six 'boxer' engine also offers a significant increase in torque at medium engine speeds, a benefit of particular significance in everyday motoring. Clearly, this also means a further improvement in performance; the new Porsche 911 GT3 accelerates from a standstill to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 4.1 seconds and reaches 99 mph (160 km/h) in 8.2 seconds. Top speed is 194 mph.
The second emphasis in developing the Porsche 911 GT3 to an even higher standard was to further improve the car's driving dynamics. For the first time, the Porsche 911 GT3 comes with a particularly sporting variant of Porsche Stability Management (PSM), offering the facility to deactivate both Stability Control (SC) and Traction Control (TC) in separate steps. And to give the driver unrestricted, individual control over the driving dynamics of his car, these functions are not reactivated automatically even under the most extreme driving conditions, but only at the touch of a button.
The Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) fitted to the 911 GT3 has enabled Porsche engineers to make the springs and anti-roll bars stiffer yet again, thus ensuring even more precise handling in the PASM 'sports' mode. However, the PASM ensures appropriate ride comfort suitable for everyday use when in the 'normal' PASM mode. The Porsche 911 GT3 rides on new, lighter wheels in a racing-inspired design - with a centre locking nut - fitted with ultra-high performance (UHP) tyres. Tyre pressure monitoring is fitted as standard.
Making the car even more suitable for the race track, the new Porsche 911 GT3 will be available with the option of new and highly innovative Porsche Active Drivetrain Mount (PADM) engine mountings. These special engine mounts recognise a particularly sporting, race-like style of driving, making the normally 'elastic' engine mounts harder and particularly resistant. This retains all the motoring comfort of the GT3 in everyday traffic, while on the race track the effect of the mass forces coming from the engine is much reduced, particularly in fast bends and on winding tracks. Yet a further advantage is improved traction when accelerating from a standstill.
Another new feature is the optional lift system for the front axle which is able to increase the ground clearance of the car, at the touch of a button, for driving on bumpy surfaces or steep gradients - for example into an underground garage - by 30 millimetres (approx 1.2 inches).
The Euro base price of the new GT3 is Euro 98,100, in Germany the retail price including value-added tax and specific national features is Euro 116,947. In the USA the GT3 will be at the dealership in October at a price of USD 112,200 (MSRP without taxes).
