A liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery—developed by A123 Systems in cooperation with Porsche—temporarily stores converted braking energy from the front axle as well as converted exhaust-gas energy. The combustion efficiency of the now lighter and more rigid 2-liter V4 turbocharged gasoline engine has been increased.

Furthermore, their single-scroll design allows for more efficient collection of exhaust as it escapes from within the cylinders. Intake and exhaust variable cam timing (VTC) is deployed to provide an excellent balance of high power, torque, fuel economy, and emissions. The front floor panels are constructed of carbon fiber core.

The first system is the innovative recovery of thermal energy by an electric generator powered by exhaust gases. The V-4 gasoline engine of the Porsche 919 Hybrid features direct injection, turbocharging and an energy recovery system for the exhaust gases. Click to enlarge. The Porsche 919 Hybrid must not exceed a length of 183.1

The alternative-fuel car evolved to reduce exhaust emissions and other problems derived from burning fossil fuels. It solves the storage problems faced by the electric utility companies in absorbing and adapting to the highly variable power and energy generated by solar and wind. Distributed Solar and Wind with the PHEV.

You switch the mode on by dialing it up on the Ferrari’s dramatic steering wheel, which integrates a cool arc of LED lights on its carbon-fiber rim to cue drivers to shift. That front-drive mode gets the car a green light in cities like London and Rome as they begin to bar polluting cars from their downtown areas.

Otherwise, the cabin is quiet with little wind or tire noise. The shark fin antenna, roof rails, integrated spoiler over the raked power lift gate and bright twin exhaust ports finish-off the rear along with LED tail lights. The car’s 3,856-pound weight was well-balanced, providing a solid, safe and confident feel.

Alternatively they can serve as buffers for renewables such as wind and solar power—whether as part of the grid or as home installations. Because the exhaust system transports only water, it can be made of lightweight polymer. An outer skin made from carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) encases the inner aluminum shell.
