Porsche 918 RSR Hybrid

Porsche presented the 918 RSR hybrid concept car at the North American International Auto Show in january. The two-seater mid-engine coupe with a fly-wheel accumulator is a synthesis of the 911 GT3 R and 918 Spyder hybrid concepts. The direct-injection V8 engine is a further development of the power unit from the RS spyder and now has a power output of 414 kW al 10300 rpm in the 918 RSR. The electric motors at the two front wheels each contribute 75 kW, and therefore a total of 150 kW, to the installed peas driving power of 564 kW. This additional power which is generated during braking, is stored in an optimised flywheel accumulator.
