A living legend among horizontally opposed engines
In the 7th episode of the ‘Porsche Top 5’ YouTube series, we meet
automobile nerd Jean Pierre Kraemer and living engine-construction
legend Hans Mezger. They have come together in a classic-car garage
in Germany to present the benefits and attributes of the boxer engine.
Together, they explain what makes that engine the perfect match for
a Porsche. Starting with its flat construction, Jean Pierre
Kraemer–also known as J.P. Performance–uses a 908 engine to show
how compact the boxer engine is. Hans Mezger, under whose
leadership that very 908 engine was created, agrees with Jean Pierre,
reminiscing about the days of its creation.
Next, they take a look at the responsiveness of the boxer engine. Both
quickly agree that turbochargers are a superb invention and are a
great addition to the concept of the boxer engine.
On an exposed drivetrain, Jean Pierre Kraemer presents the next item
in the top 5: the weight distribution. In his inimitable way, he shows
how the rear wheels generate the driving force in a Porsche. The
engine and transmission create downward force, which provides a
better mechanical grip; one of the reasons why Porsche cars can
accelerate so quickly out of the corner.
The guys then present the penultimate topic featured in the Top 5
using a crankshaft model: thanks to the mass balancing in a boxer
engine, there is no need for a balance shaft working with momentum.
The opposing action of the pistons provides the required energy – and
according to Hans Mezger, is what gave the engine its alternative
name ‘boxer engine.’
Finally, number one in this ranking, the vehicle construction method is
illustrated on one of the most famous Porsche models: the 959. The
cutaway model of the 959 shows how the silhouette of a Porsche
911 is tailor-made for the boxer engine, and vice versa.
At the end of this episode, viewers are treated to some exciting
information about the last episode of the second season. You can

Porsche invests in sustainable individual mobility
Porsche engineers are hard at work to reach the goal of individual
transport systems that are sustainable and produce no emissions. But
the future is today as new technologies step by step make make
individual forms of transport more environmentally friendly and less
resource-heavy.
The first step is optimizing combustion engines to make them ever
more fuel efficient while at the same time pushing the evolution of
hybrid technology as a bridge towards fully sustainable. Alternative
fuels are also part of that research. Examples include the blending of
ethanol from renewable sources with fossil fuels. In many countries
around the world, this blending rate (which is continuously increasing)
is even enshrined in law. Strategies that promote a move away from
fossil fuels are intended to curb global warming. Regenerative fuels
can make a significant contribution in this respect.
Of course, these fuel components still release CO2 when they are
burned. However, a holistic assessment makes the difference clear:
energy generated without the use of CO2 can be used to produce
gaseous and liquid fuels from readily available components such as
carbon dioxide and water (power-to-x). The same is true for biofuels:
in this case, carbon dioxide and water, which are already present in
the environment, are used for plant growth. During combustion in the
engine, these regenerative fuels release only the amount of CO2 used
in their production, i.e. the climate impact is neutral or even positive. If
all fuels could be generated in this way, a climate-neutral combustion
engine might become reality.
In addition, exhaust emission figures for these fuels are significantly
lower than those for fossil fuel energy sources; for example, they emit
substantially fewer soot particles or nitrogen oxides than gasoline.
Jörg Kerner, Head of Powertrain Development, highlights another
important point: “Sustainably produced fuels are a quick way to cut
CO2 emissions from a company’s existing fleet. Future stages of
development will produce specially designed engines which are able
to harness the full potential of these fuels in terms of optimized
emissions, CO2 and performance. In combination with plug-in
technology, this will deliver a driving experience typical of Porsche
while at the same time ticking every environmental box.”
Using the existing network of gas stations would enable widespread
availability to be achieved quickly. Synthetic fuels from sustainable
sources are therefore a key bridge towards climate-neutral mobility in
an emission-free future, and an important building block for rapid
CO2 reductions in existing fleets, particularly since the blending
proportion can be gradually increased and the procedure is
compatible with existing engine concepts.
In the foreseeable future, powertrains featuring combustion engines
that operate using sustainably produced fuels will be offered as an
optimum solution for sports cars in terms of performance, vehicle
weight and range – key considerations from the perspective of
Porsche customers. Even in areas where local exhaust emissions must
be avoided at all costs, however, an emission-free powertrain is no
longer a pipe dream for Porsche.
In such cases, electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles which can
be operated with either fuel or electricity from renewable sources
offer a CO2-free alternative. Meaning that sustainable individual
mobility is not just wishful thinking.
