The main feature of the porsche 911 gt3 R hybrid, his KERS of based on a flywheel (turning to more than 40,000 rpm) and developed by williams hybrid power, remains the same, but due to the use of carbon fiber they have succeeded in reducing its weight by 20%. This point has been important in the development of the 2011 model longer than the total of all weight has fallen to the 1,300 kilograms (1,350 in the 2010 model).
The energy stored in the KERS is transmitted to the two front wheels with two electric motors that deliver 75 kW (100 HP) to each of them, 15 more than in the version 1.0 kw. To make use of this power increase pilots can activate the KERS in two ways: through a button on the steering wheel or by the kickdown (extra path of the accelerator pedal) system.
In the part of combustion, the 6-cylinder boxer engine has been reduced its power until the 465 HP. The reason is simple, in Porsche they seek a better relationship between consumption and power now that the objective of the 911 GT3 R Hybrid 2.0 is to get the same times that in 2010 but with less consumption. Finally, and to make it easier for the pilot, much of the controls and displays has concentrated on the steering wheel. In 2010, the creation will be the test bench and the 24 hours Nurburgring his litmus test although we do not rule out see him in other major appointments as the Intercontinental Le Mans Cup.
