Cylinder combustion video

October 4, 2007 hfortysixit Comments off

Here’s a really really cool video if you have no idea how a combustion engine works. Its not a complete engine cycle, but its close enough to understand! You can see the intake valve open with fuel and air rushing in. Then as the cylinder starts to come up the spark plug ignites the fuel. Bam! You have fire, piston goes down and the exhaust valve open when the piston comes back up! 4 stroke engine! Yay!!!

The power unit of the new 911 GT2 is based on the six-cylinder boxer engine of the 911 Turbo, with air supply driven by two exhaust gas turbochargers featuring variable turbine geometry (VTG). The 3.6-litre boxer engine achieves a maximum output of 530 (SAE) horsepower, an increase of 50 horsepower from the previous 911 GT2. The power increase is provided by two turbochargers with a larger compressor wheel and a flow-optimized turbine housing raising turbocharger pressure to an even higher level. The new 911 GT2 comes as standard with PCCB brakes featuring brake discs made of a composite carbon fiber/ceramic compound ensuring highly consistent and maximum stopping power. Also standard is the electronically controlled Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) system.

North American debut in early 2008 at a US price of $191,700.
