Porsche 918 RSR Hybrid - Drivetrain Technology
Hi, Everyone!Hartmut Kristen of Porsche shares details about the Porsche 918 RSR Hybrid in this video. Porsche unveiled the RSR racing variant of their 918 Spyder at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS). The RSR is powered by a 563- horsepower gasoline V8-engine driving the rear wheels, with dual electric motors driving the front, instead of being a plug-in hybrid. Power to the electric motors is provided by a fly-wheel accumulator Kinectic Energy Recovery Systems (KERS) that sits beside the driver in the passenger area, and boosts the total power to 767-horsepower for up to eight seconds when fully charged!

Wow! This a powerful and beautiful automobile! Isn't that what we expect of a Porsche? I like the overall appearance of the car, a lot. However, a creamy pearl color is what I'd choose for the exterior of my own. I appreciate the view of the top of the car and the view of it when it spins on the platform. No matter which angle you view it from, it gorgeous. I think this may be the most exquisite Porsche I've seen, to-date; really outstanding car design!
