In 2011, Porsche introduced the Porsche 911 GT3 R Hybrid, a model that models without removing too much evolution as presented by Peugeot with HYbrid4 or more sporadic as Toyota, became the first bet of a mark by the competition with hybrid models. The gamble worked out pretty well, and with the support Williams Hybrid Power, a subsidiary of Williams F1, the model developed by the brand soon Weissach harvested certain successes. Among them a great participation in the 24 Hours Nürburgring, came to lead evidence, and that if not for mechanical problems suffered less than two hours to finish, could have won. An unprecedented success for a hybrid model but still does not hold the title of being the first to do so.
For 2012, Porsche has not been asleep and in the words of his drivers have developed a completely new car. The Porsche 911 GT3 Hybrid has lost 50 kilos to 1300 kilos. Much of that has slimming taken place at the level of KERS, which has declined by 20% its weight.
For propulsion, two motors that are responsible for drive to the front wheels have increased power to 75 kW (100 hp) while in contrast, the standard 6-cylinder boxer engine has reduced its output power to 460 hp. The reason for this decline in power is due to the fact that Porsche wants to find a compromise between consumption and power. The aim of the Porsche 911 GT3 R Hybrid is to achieve the same lap times with lower power consumption.
Another point in which Porsche has worked has been to improve the driving position. Focus on the wheel most of the necessary buttons for including pilot KERS button. To activate this system, drivers also have a kickdown system (extra travel of the accelerator pedal).
Like last year, the Porsche 911 GT3 R in the VLN Hybrid will have their test. The short-term goal, the 24 Hours Nürburgring to be held on 25 and 26 June. In the medium term, and when the ACO to make clear the rules for hybrid models, the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
