That phrase—the new 911—was first heard in 1963. Since then, it’s been said many times, yet never without merit. It marks not merely the arrival of another model year, but a new milestone in the advancement of sports-car performance. With this new 911, Porsche engineers have once again proven that no matter how high the bar is set, it can be set higher still.

    Press Release July 2020 Porsche Design presents unique custom-built Timepieces program Individualized watches bring Porsche sports car excitement to the wrist Stuttgart. With the launch of a revolutionary program based on production principles utilized in Porsche sports car manufacturing, Porsche Design is taking the creation of exclusive Swiss wristwatches to the next level with the Porsche Design custom-built Timepieces program. This is the first time the concept of a fully customized timepiece, perfectly tailored to match one’s dream Porsche , will enter into series production. The centerpiece: The Porsche Design watch configurator The menu navigation and overall design of the new watch configurator are based on the well- established Porsche car configurator. Just like the Porsche 911 range, the watch is digitally visualized down to the smallest detail to provide customers with a realistic depiction of their dream timepiece. "The rendering model is based on CAD data from our designers at Studio F. A. Porsche in Zell am See and our engineers in Solothurn," says Rolf Bergmann, Managing Director of Porsche Design Timepieces AG. The features, including the pricing for each re- spective configuration, are displayed in real time. A basic custom-built Timepiece starts at $6,000 USD and, depending on the options selected, can range up to $12,500 and includes up to three additional leather straps. Orders are placed exclusively through Porsche dealers and delivery will take eight to 12 weeks. The program will be launched with all participating Porsche dealers in Germany on July 1, 2020, followed by the UK and U.S. on September 1, 2020.

  • History and Variants of the 996 Carrera MY1998
    History and Variants of the 996 Carrera MY1998 The 996 was introduced to the world at the Frankfurt Motor show in September 1997. It was a radical redesign of the 911 concept with a completely new body shell, and for the first time the engine was water cooled. Designers Pinky Lai and Harm Lagaay produced a svelte new form which was 30mm wider and 173mm longer than its predecessor, the 993. Structural stiffness of the new bodyshell was up by 45% in torsion, and 50% in flexure. Drag coefficient was down to 0.3 from 0.33, and the extra internal dimensions gave the car a roomier and luxurious feel. But it remained instantly recognisable as a 911. The 996 shared many components of the 986 Boxster, and the cars were visually virtually identical from the nose to the ‘A’ pillar. The car was much cheaper to produce than the 993, as a result of bringing in Japanese consultants to assist with production techniques. The engine was also the same basic design as the Boxster, albeit enlarged to 3.4 litres. Emission and noise regulations determined the unavoidable necessity for the new engine to be water cooled. The engine used four-valve technology with a new variocam system for adjusting the camshaft timing to produce an increase in torque and reduction of hydrocarbon emissions. The engine also featured what can only be described as a ‘semi-wet’ sump, as the oil reservoir was incorporated within the crankcase. Transmission was provided by either a manual 6-speed transmission manufactured by Getrag, or a 5-speed tiptronic automatic gearbox supplied by ZF.

  • Review of Advancement in Variable Valve Actuation of Internal Combustion Engines
    applied sciences Review Review of Advancement in Variable Valve Actuation of Internal Combustion Engines Zheng Lou 1,* and Guoming Zhu 2 1 LGD Technology, LLC, 11200 Fellows Creek Drive, Plymouth, MI 48170, USA 2 Mechanical Engineering, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI 48824, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 16 December 2019; Accepted: 22 January 2020; Published: 11 February 2020 Abstract: The increasing concerns of air pollution and energy usage led to the electrification of the vehicle powertrain system in recent years. On the other hand, internal combustion engines were the dominant vehicle power source for more than a century, and they will continue to be used in most vehicles for decades to come; thus, it is necessary to employ advanced technologies to replace traditional mechanical systems with mechatronic systems to meet the ever-increasing demand of continuously improving engine efficiency with reduced emissions, where engine intake and the exhaust valve system represent key subsystems that affect the engine combustion efficiency and emissions. This paper reviews variable engine valve systems, including hydraulic and electrical variable valve timing systems, hydraulic multistep lift systems, continuously variable lift and timing valve systems, lost-motion systems, and electro-magnetic, electro-hydraulic, and electro-pneumatic variable valve actuation systems. Keywords: engine valve systems; continuously variable valve systems; engine valve system control; combustion optimization 1. Introduction With growing concerns on energy security and global warming, there are global efforts to develop more efficient vehicles with lower regulated emissions, including hybrid electrical vehicles, electrical vehicles, and fuel cell vehicles. Hybrid electrical vehicles became a significant part of vehicle production because of their overall efficiency, and they still pose a significant cost penalty, resulting in a stagnant market penetration of 3.2% and 2.7% in 2013 and 2018, respectively, in the United States (US), for example [1].
