One important factor in increasing efficiency when building engines is to extract the maximum power from every drop of fuel. This includes precise combustion. It is precisely this that direct fuel injection (DFI) provides. How does it work? By forming the air/fuel mixture directly in the...

Porsche was often ahead of its time. Even in 1900. At the world exhibition in Paris, Prof. Porsche presented an electric car with two electric motors in the wheel hubs, from which a hybrid vehicle, the Lohner Porsche "Semper Vivus" was developed. Porsche has taken up this concept anew. For...
