Carbon - carbon disc brakes are used for reduced weight and increased
frictional performance.
Not exact matches
A forged steel crankshaft with integrated balancing shaft drive, weight - optimized piston and forged conrod contributes to the high level of
performance within the engine through reduced
frictional coefficients.
The latter offer
performance and efficiency benefits beyond their simple reduced mass — reduced
frictional and rotational losses contribute up to 0.4 L / 100 km of the 3.2 L / 100 km fuel economy advantage Porsche claims the Panamera delivers in comparison to comparable «large luxury four - doors in the 400 and 500hp class».
The 178bhp, 295 lb ft 2.0 - litre motor delivers prompt, lively - feeling
performance, too, unburdened by the
frictional and weight penalties incurred by a four - wheel drive system.
Any differences in the
frictional coefficient between the wheels on the left and right (modal split) are offset by Dynamic
Performance Control specifically sharing out drive forces on the rear axle.
