Comes to Porsche 911 you imagine what? The car's legendary sports car brand from Stuttgart, with design features and not go anywhere. Porsche would not be esteemed as the stupid names like Ferrari and Lamborghini, but those who love Porsche is particularly loyal fans.
With young people, external 911 design retro looks nothing outstanding by car from the 1963 figure is almost unchanged. Anyone can recognize their similarities evident in the design of the 911 generation. Of course, the success of the Porsche on a brand identity, but also can not deny the nickname that fans "favor" the Porsche designers as "the world's most lazy people."
So what really makes the love of the fans? The answer is the superior performance, is located in the center of the engine design. There are two points to the success and personality features of the Porsche 911. Firstly, there is the boxer engine with two cylinders lie flat, facing each other. Cylinder arrangement is often used by Subaru, the latest being on the BRZ.
Second, the layout of the engine. First of all we need to know why the manufacturers interested in issues such engines. The engine is one of the worst details and the location of its decision directly to the weight distribution on the front and rear axle.
We often see ads say the perfect weight distribution ratio "50/50 -truoc/sau". Actually this is just a way of marketing the manufacturer and is very difficult to have a perfect ratio for any vehicle.
To get a reasonable weight distribution ratio, the engineers have to play the "get-away". Take this one is the other and vice versa. Percentage distribution of weight depends a lot on the other designs such as the front-drive, rear-or four-wheel? With rear (popular type sports car), if allocated more weight later on, the more traction (due to the weight put on the back, increasing friction). But if you focus too much weight, larger tail inertia when cornering leads to easy to fall into the car oversteering (yellow tail).
There are two common designations motor. A front engine model commonly used on popular car. In this type of engine placed above the front wheel axis or in front of the front wheel axis. This type has many advantages. The first is the save area for the cabin, the second is convenient for cheaper production costs.
The second type of motor is placed in the middle (mid-engine) is common on all types of sports cars like Ferrari or Lamborghini. The word "between" most confused when the majority said that the engine located behind the driver should call it a set back. Fact not the case.Porsche 911 Carrera
Motor position is not based on its position relative to the driver, which according to its position relative to the front and rear axle. If the engine is placed behind the driver but in between the front and rear axle, is still classified as a mid-. The SLR McLaren engine putting interesting and unique, which is located between, but in front, behind the front wheel axis.
So the SLR McLaren is very long, near the middle of the body is because placing this engine. Normally we think SLR front-engined, but it is actually classified as a front-mid engine (mid-engined, front). Placed between engine types have the advantage of weight is evenly distributed between the two axes, without any side bias (between acceleration and steering).
Porsche is in the third classification: after-engined, is completely behind the rear axle. This explains the design characteristic tail 911 friends friends, distant thick thick bulging hatchback due to engine blocks. Designations of this would bias weight distribution to the rear. Porsche 911 Carrera S ratio front-rear weight distribution is 39/61, should be able to operate very own.
First, the rear, a large weight placed on the rear will make the car more friction when accelerating. Not only that, when the car accelerates, due to the weighting on the rear, the car will be more and more friction, reduces skid. In contrast, when the vehicle speed reduction, a weight is put forward, can help car brakes are at all four wheels (unlike the majority of cars have to brake more than the front wheels, leading to the use of brakes before larger and more prone to overload) help the car faster and more powerful brakes.
However, in terms of stability, the rear engine deceleration, even if it is lifting the foot from the gas pedal, the car tends to oversteer and loss of balance, due to the weight put on the tail as pendulum rotation around the axis. This is the challenge to premature steering wheel but the silk is interesting with the steering, especially on the track because this means that they can splash tail drift and cornering faster, more stable and higher than the speed (less affected from the steering wheel).
Porsche 911 is one of the very few lines have been and will be loyal to the following types of engines because this is the point made a name. Many disadvantages in terms of theoretical mechanics but actually 911 now easy to control and more complete. Porsche engineers try to make use of all the advantages of engine design and minimize the problems with modern electronic control technology.
911 lovers, so there are always reasons to be proud of both unique in style and design optimization in the operation of this legendary car.
