KERS-System Standard on Next Generation Porsche 911

Porsche 998

With the official release of the next generation Porsche 911, also known as 991, coming closer the engineers have confirmed to Autoblog.com that the new model will offer KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System) as standard and be part of the entire model range.

The KERS will recoup energy during braking and store it in a sophisticated dedicated flywheel system. All this of course to meet environmental demands and bring fuel efficiency to new levels. The next-generation 911 will also feature a longer wheelbase than the current model to accommodate the new flywheel system which will be placed between the gearbox and the engine.
