A widely held belief about motorsport is
that power is the only thing that mat ters.
From experience, we know bet ter. Extra
horsepower alone has never been enough
to win a single race. Much more important
to us are ideas – ideas that inspire more
intelligent vehicle concepts and more ef fi-
cient drive systems. The same applies on
the road. It ’s about get ting the most out

charge is low. It is also possible to deacti -
vate the function manually using a
separate but ton on the centre console.
Thermal management.
The new thermal management system
regulates the temperature in the engine
and gearbox through the intelligent
manipulation of heat flow.
In this way, the engine and gearbox reach
their optimum operating temperature
sooner. As a result, fuel consumption is
reduced through increased combustion
efficiency and lubrication performance.
Electrical system recuperation.
The new 911 models are also equipped
as standard with fuel-saving electrical
system recuperation technology.
The vehicle bat tery is recharged by the
alternator, predominantly under braking.
Under acceleration, on the other hand,
the power draw of the alternator is limit -
ed to increase the engine output availa -
ble for driving. The electrical systems
are supplied by the electrical energy
stored during the recharging process.
