Hi, Thomas. Hi, Clare.
00:03
Tell me, the 911 Carrera GTS, it's a hybrid now. What did you do?
00:07
The essential innovation is the electric turbocharger on the flat-six engine.
00:12
It can do two different things.
00:14
It delivers compressed air immediately to the engine to reduce the turbo lag to a minimum.
00:20
And second, it recovers heat energy out of the exhaust gas to add even more power to the drivetrain.
00:25
Does that mean as a driver I have to activate it?
00:28
Not at all. The system reacts to throttle and brake only.
00:32
You can visualize it like a puzzle with the flat-six engine and the electric turbocharger,
00:38
the e-motor in the PDK and the high-performance battery in the front.
00:42
When the control units put the piece together, what you get is a very exciting drive.
00:48
So it automatically shuttles through the combinations depending on how I put my foot down?
00:53
Exactly. When you need more power, the system reacts within split seconds,
00:57
giving you more boost and torque fill up to 150 Nm for a faster and better acceleration.
01:04
Of course, we can do mechanical recuperation when the car is slowing down or braking.
01:08
And my favorite feature is the high-performance feature when you use the turbocharger
01:13
to release extra energy running on full throttle or even on top speed.
01:18
So even in this operating state, the turbocharger is able to recover energy to put it on the e-motor
01:25
and if necessary, the battery joins in to put even more energy, releasing all the 541 horses.
01:33
Thomas, that sounds like some amazing precision engineering. Thank you for that deep dive.
01:37
But I've promised everyone for some race action.
01:40
Unfortunately, we do have Matt Watson and a certain former Formula One driver
01:45
and sports car world champion who are going to line up the 911 Carrera GTS
01:50
and go head-to-head with its predecessor. Thomas, how do you think this will go?
01:54
Let me put it this way, the data doesn't lie.
01:57
Spoken like a true engineer.
