The hybrid powertrain of the Porsche 919 Hybrid. The V4 petrol engine with direct injection and turbocharging is integrated in the chassis as a mid-engine. The batteries at the centre of the vehicle supply the electric motor at the front axle with energy.
The single electric motor distributes its power to the two front wheels via a differential as needed. The highly advanced energy management unit for the battery is located near the centre of the vehicle.
The Porsche 919 Hybrid is an example of extreme lightweight design. The chassis and all key body parts are made of carbon fibre.
Performance and efficiency: the four-cylinder petrol V engine of the Porsche 919 Hybrid features direct injection, turbocharging and an energy recovery system for the exhaust gases.
The aerodynamic design and cooling air needs were tested and optimised in the wind tunnel testing.
