Hybrid Technology in the LMP1 Porsche 919 Hybrid With the 919 Hybrid, Porsche has developed a new field of technology at racing speed. For the “Mission E”, a fully electric road-going concept sports car unveiled in 2015, the designers adopted the 800-volt technology from the prototype racer. Porsche has exhausted all possibilities in designing the two-time 24 Hours of Le Mans winner – especially in terms of the drive concept. It consists of a two-liter, V4 turbocharged gasoline engine – the most efficient combustion motor that Porsche has built up to now – and two different energy recovery systems. During braking, a generator at the front-axle converts the car’s kinetic energy into electrical energy. In the split exhaust system, one turbine drives the turbocharger while another converts surplus energy into electrical energy. The braking energy contributes 60 percent, with the remaining 40 percent is produced from exhaust gas. The recuperated electrical energy is stored temporarily in a lithium-ion battery and feeds an electric motor “on demand,” meaning, the driver can accelerate and call up the energy at the press of a button. In accordance with the latest regulation changes, the power from the combustion engine is just under 500 hp and the output from the electric motor is well over 400 hp. The use and interplay of these two energy sources require a sophisticated strategy. In every braking phase, energy is recuperated. On the Nürburgring’s 3.2-mile Grand Prix circuit, this happens 17 times per lap, before every corner. The amount of recovered energy depends on the severity of the braking maneuver, or in other words, the speed at which the driver arrives at the corner and how tight it is. Braking and recuperation last until the apex of every corner, the driver then accelerates again. In this moment, the aim is to utilize as much energy as possible. Therefore, the driver steps
on the throttle using fuel energy, and also “boost” electrical energy from the battery. While the combustion engine drives the rear-axle, the electric motor takes care of the front-axle. The 919 catapults out of the corner without any loss of traction using all-wheel drive – and in the process recuperates energy again because on the straights, the extra turbine in the exhaust tract is hard at work. At consistently high engine speeds, the pressure in the exhaust system increases rapidly and drives the second turbine which is connected directly to an electric generator. Both energy sources, however, are limited by the regulations: a driver may not use more than 1.8-liters of fuel per lap and no more than 1.3 kilowatt hours (4.68 megajoules) of electricity. He must calculate this carefully so that at the end of the lap he has used exactly this amount – no more, no less. He who uses more is penalized. He who uses less, loses performance. It is important to stop “boosting” and lift off the throttle at exactly the right moment. Converted to the 8.469-mile lap of Le Mans, which is the scale model for the regulations, the amount of electrical energy allowed is 2.22 kilowatt hours. This corresponds to eight megajoules – and that is the highest energy class stipulated in the regulations. In 2015, Porsche was the first and only manufacturer that dared to push the limits so far. In 2016, Toyota is also competing in the eight megajoule class. Audi uses six megajoules. The WEC regulations almost completely balance these differences.

Porsche Engineers Give Cars a Sound Check To make sure every Porsche truly sounds like a Porsche, acoustics experts compose the right melodies. From the boxer engines of today to the electric cars of tomorrow, Porsche experts in Weissach create individual sound concepts. A soloist extraordinaire enters the stage. A hush of silence fills the air, as the audience hardly dares to breathe. Suddenly the voice is heard, its virtuoso quality immediately evident with one coloratura, then another, while a layer of tension builds in the quiet bass tones. A crescendo sets in a few bars later as the voice accelerates through nearly every musical pitch, from bass and tenor to soprano. The finale erupts in an unbridled furioso, and all who hear it are left with goose bumps. Then the recording stops, and Dr. Bernhard Pfäfflin smiles. “Marvelous, isn’t it?” That short soundtrack of a 911 solo displays a number of qualities that every Porsche has to have. First of all, the sound is not one-dimensional, but instead covers a broad range of frequencies. This attribute distinguishes a Porsche from a humming American or a high-strung Italian. Second, both the sound and the volume vary with the load—that is, with the throttle. “This gives the driver an additional point of orientation,” explains Pfäfflin, 49, who is the head of development for vibrational technology and acoustics. In other words, he is in charge of the Porsche sound.
Each model should have a sound that matches its character. A GT3 has to rock, that’s for sure. Another important criterion, according to Pfäfflin, is that “the car has to sound like its output.” No synthetic pop music, therefore, but real tones from genuine instruments. Nevertheless, the sound bodies are mixed in such a way that a harmonious pattern emerges for every style of driving. In order to achieve this, Pfäfflin doesn’t wait until the automotive engineers and engine developers build the first prototypes. The quest for good sound begins much earlier. While both the powertrain and the car are still in the digital creation process, acoustics specialist Bernd Müller is already calculating countless variants of exhaust systems and mufflers—or, to be precise, the effects of different combinations on the sound of the car. Müller is responsible for the gas exchange acoustics at Porsche, and he generates hundreds of sound files. “This lets you hear a car before it actually exists as a physical prototype,” he says, describing the wonders of digitization. Working together with other experienced colleagues, he distills three or four variants from the multitude of possibilities.
