Without Any Doubt
Porsche's all-new LMP1 contender will allegedly feature a turbocharged V4 2.0-liter direct-injection gasoline engine. The 919 Hybrid marks Porsche's comeback in the world of LMP1 racing and according to Autocar it has a V4 configuration for the already confirmed 2.0-liter, four-cylinder direct-injection gasoline engine. It is believed Porsche opted for this configuration for packaging reasons to enable the best possible position for installing the hybrid drive system. This gasoline engine works with two energy recuperation systems called KERS and ERS which will store the energy in a battery pack until the driver presses a button to deploy it to the front wheels through an electric motor. It should be noted the V4 engine will power the rear wheels while the battery is of the lithium-ion type and has been provided by A123 Systems from United States. Behind the wheel of the Porsche 919 Hybrid will be Mark Webber, Neel Jani, Timo Bernhard, Romain Dumas, Marc Lieb and Brendon Hartley. The vehicle will receive its racing debut on April 20 when the 2014 WEC starts at Silverstone Six Hours. Without any doubt, the highlight of the season will be the 24 Hours of Le Mans (14-15 June).
Of course, you should take it in every 5k miles for your oil change, and every 15k for the regular engine maintenance. Always use premium for that car and keep it in good shape|||I believe a porsche requires premium gasoline. Check your manual to be sure, also look inside the filler door. Additional comment, If you can't afford premium gas, you shouldn't be driving a porsche.|||I have two mechanics - one I met when I had a Mercedes Benz, the other is a certified Porsche mechanic. The one thing I have learned from both of them is when a car is 5 years old, the premium octane is no longer necessary. As a matter of fact, our 2001 Boxster was switched earlier this year to 89 octane earlier this year and we are getting better gas mileage from it. If you have a mechanic to talk to -- do it. They can give a lot of advise of how to take care of your car -- and even explain how the sensor will adjust itself to the lower octane. Good luck and enjoy that 911. Hope you are a member of your local PCA - it makes owner a Porsche a lot more fun! I have a 1984 911 Carerra with 84,000 miles and I only burn premium fuel. My mechanic is Porsche certified and recommends that I use only premium Chevron because of the techron injector cleaner. Since Chevron merged with Texaco I've noticed that Texaco now contains Techron. By the way, 1983 was the last year that Porsche manufactured the 911 SC. The 911 Carerra was introduced in 1984 replacing the SC's 3.0 L engine with the 3.2L.|||Probably. Usually, Premium cars need premium fuel.
ATLANTA, January 12, 2012 - Never afore in the history of the Porsche Boxster has a change of bearing been so comprehensive. The open-top two-seat car receives an absolutely new failing physique and a absolutely revamped chassis.

The cartage are amid by the absolutely redesigned, absolutely electric top, which now dispenses with a convertible top alcove lid.

I have 70,000 miles on my 2016 model. I had the engine REPLACED. BMW service stated that these engines have a known issue, but that I was lucky because I had purchased the extended warranty. It has been back twice since the engine replacement. My first BMW, this could have been financially catastrophic. It a So Cal car purchased new and mostly freeway miles, go figure. That really sucks to hear. I think many people will see this and get worried that they might need a new engine, but I'll tell them don't worry about it. Yes, it really sucks that it happens. It just doesn't happen as often has people think it does. I know one thing a lot people say is Japanese cars are more reliable; when people think top reliability, they think Lexus. Yes Lexus is on the top, but what many don't know is tied with Lexus is Porsche. Yes, a German car manufacturer making high performance sports cars, SUVs, and sports sedans is high up topping the reliability list. We just see, "oh Porsche this problem, that problem," in the news but honestly one of the most reliable cars I've owned is my first gen '05 Cayenne Turbo. Only minor stuff like a drive shaft problem. Never anything in the engine except for burning a lot of oil.
For those who need even more speed, the 911 Turbo offers the optionally Tiptronic S automatic transmission. This way, it can reach 100 km/h from a standing start in just 3.7 seconds and 200 km/h in a mere 12.2 seconds. Both manual and automatic transmissions have a top speed of 310 km/k. Available for the first time, the optional 鈥淪port Chrono Package Turbo鈥?enhances the vehicle鈥檚 flexibility even further. The Porsche 911 Turbo features a redesigned all-wheel drive with an electronically controlled multi-disc clutch. The result will be the transfer of the available power to the road. That鈥檚 because, depending on the driving conditions, this system will determine the optimal torque distribution to ensure the best-possible drive. Also, Porsche Traction Management (PTM) ensures variable power distribution to the two driven axles. This means that on the road the 911 Turbo will prove outstanding traction in the rain or snow, high agility on narrow countryroads and optimal active safety even at high speeds.
