00:00I'll never forget the first moment I saw a 911.
00:07And I'll never forget the silhouette.
00:10There's just something so beautiful and so iconic about that image.
00:17This brand hooked me.
00:21When I started racing with Porsche, I didn't just feel the speed.
00:27I felt a connection.
00:29It was like being part of this really unique, special family.
00:35And today, this family lets me into the most sacred place.
00:42Good morning.
00:44Hi, good morning.
00:45Patrick.
00:46Contractor or supplier?
00:53There's this little town outside of Stuttgart,
00:56around 7,500 inhabitants.
00:59And then there's just as many Porsche employees developing these dream machines.
01:05Precision, German style.
01:07And I love it.
01:08And in Weissach, everything is top secret.
01:11So German engineering.
01:13The perfection.
01:14And honestly, I've always wondered what's behind it.
01:17What's the magic?
01:18Where does it come from and why?
01:26Hey Patrick.
01:27Hey Frank.
01:28Good to have you here.
01:29Great to be here.
01:30Let's go inside.
01:31Come on.
01:32Great.
01:35Frank, is that what I think it is?
01:37Yes, it is.
01:38This is the very first 911 Turbo S from 1992.
01:42Only 86 of them built.
01:44Wow.
01:45Back then, it was our base model for the GT race cars in the U.S.
01:48It's beautiful.
01:53Ready for the reveal?
01:55Show me the next icon.
01:57Here we go.
02:18Oh wow, there it is.
02:33Frank, it's gorgeous.
02:35I totally agree.
02:37I get goosebumps.
02:38It's beautiful.
02:39The new body looks muscular and seriously modern.
02:42But the first thing that catches your eye is the new front.
02:45So this is the active cooling vents, right?
02:47Yes, exactly.
02:49Beautiful.
02:51I love this color.
02:52A lot of little detail here.
02:54It has new air vents and titanium tailpipes.
02:57The perfect match for the rear.
03:01Beautiful.
03:03So, what's inside?
03:07We've upgraded our most advanced engine.
03:10The 3.6 liter T-Hybrid with the second electric turbo.
03:14And rumor has it, it's the most powerful street legal 911 ever made.
03:19It is.
03:20711 horses.
03:21Really?
03:22And 800 newton meter of torque.
03:24Oh, gosh.
03:26We've also fine-tuned the suspension and the aerodynamics is more intelligent than ever before.
03:32How does that translate to the road?
03:34On the famous Nordschleife, the new 911 Turbo S is 14 seconds quicker than the previous one.
03:40Down to 7 minutes and 3 seconds.
03:42Without sacrificing comfort or day-to-day usability.
03:45Oh, 9 to 11, gotta go.
03:48It takes me eight minutes to the test bench.
03:51Important meeting.
03:52A special ID card.
03:53Your access to the wind tunnel and the engine department.
03:56Have fun.
03:57Oh, fantastic.
03:58Thank you.
03:59Oh, yes.
04:01Okay.
04:02Let's see what this magical little card has to offer.
04:06And when we're here in Weissach, it's like we're all kids in a candy store.
04:13Vorsicht!
04:14What happened?
04:15Bye.
04:35Hello.
04:36Hello.
04:37What are you doing?
04:38What?
04:39Hi. Hi. Sorry, it's forbidden to be here.
04:45It's so beautiful. I know, I know.
04:46But we are not allowed to stay here. Right.
04:49Yeah, I would want to get sucked into it.
04:54Here we are, in the heart of the Wintan.
04:56Grazie.
04:57Bern, so good to see you.
05:01Hello, Patrick. I was wondering if you got lost.
05:04Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
05:05I had an opportunity to kind of sneak around.
05:08I got this special card from Frank, so thank you.
05:10Okay, so let's talk to OS and aerodynamics.
05:13Beautiful, I'd love that.
05:14We have big improvements.
05:16So we have 10% less drag.
05:18Really?
05:18Than the previous model.
05:19Uh-huh.
05:20And the best drag coefficient of 0.3,
05:24which is really impressive for such a wide car and that tire dimensions.
05:28Right. And where did you find the most gain?
05:31We did some improvements in the underbody flow.
05:33Okay.
05:34Some new components that cover, for example, the rear axle.
05:38Uh-huh.
05:39And we also improved the active aerodynamics.
05:42I will show you in detail.
05:43Okay, great.
05:50So, Bern, tell me what's going on now.
05:52Yeah, the previous Turbo S already had some active aero elements.
05:56Uh-huh.
05:57For example, the rear wing.
05:58Right.
05:58That rises depending on speed and the driving situation.
06:02So, you can see we still have the inflatable front spoiler, which creates a lot of downforce.
06:10And we optimized the variable air cooling flaps, so we better control in our thermodynamics and drag.
06:17And we have a new and very effective feature.
06:22It's an active front diffuser.
06:24You can't see it now because it's located here at the underbody.
06:29Oh, right there.
06:32What's really impressive is just, it's just small little fine tuning and refinement, isn't it?
06:38Exactly.
06:38It's in the details.
06:39Yeah.
06:40El vor 30.
06:40Sorry, gotta go.
06:42Okay.
06:45Must be some sort of secret code word.
06:53Elf, treisig.
06:54Lunchtime.
06:55Mahlzeit.
06:56Mahlzeit.
06:57Mahlzeit?
06:59Mahlzeit.
07:00What?
07:00If you go to Weissach, there's so much magical energy here.
07:07Engine development's got to be around here somewhere.
07:15Patrick.
07:16Matthias.
07:17Hello.
07:21Hello.
07:21I'm glad you found us down here.
07:23Yeah, I got the key.
07:24I've just go through a technical debrief from a 911 Turbo S together with my suspension colleague.
07:34Great.
07:34Do you want to join us?
07:35Yes, please.
07:36I'd love to.
07:36Thank you.
07:38Oh, wow.
07:40Oh, so that's the turbo.
07:42Yes.
07:42That's the E-Turbo.
07:43And it's one of the most important components of the drivetrain.
07:48And that's how the turbo can boost and recuperate.
07:52What a great perspective.
07:53That's great to see it at this size.
07:56But what's the actual size like in the car?
07:58Please stretch out your right hand.
08:02This is the E-Turbo in real size.
08:04And now you can stretch out your left hand.
08:07Oh, wow.
08:08Look at that.
08:09So we use two turbos to massively increase the engine power.
08:13And each of them is lighter and more compact than the Mono Turbo in the GTS.
08:18This is so cool.
08:20And now you see here's a complete package.
08:21In the front there is the exhaust system.
08:24In the middle there is the intake system.
08:26On the right, on the left side are the turbochargers.
08:29And here in the middle are all the control units that we need to run the system.
08:34Do you want to see the engine in action?
08:35Yeah.
08:36Look over there.
08:44The sound is incredible.
08:46Oh, yeah.
08:47I love it.
08:48And the chassis also profits from the high-voltage system.
08:52The new electro-hydraulic Porsche dynamic chassis control acts even quicker than the previous system.
08:58So that really helps you in the corners, doesn't it?
09:01Yes.
09:01It helped us to improve the ability and agility at the same time.
09:04Wow.
09:05But maybe you should try yourself on our test track, the Prüfgelände.
09:08Oh, yeah.
09:09Yes, absolutely.
09:09That was great, wasn't it?
09:14I love a little theory.
09:15But what I really need right now is a little bit...
09:19Oh, more theory.
09:21Jason.
09:23Oh, hey, Patrick.
09:27I can't say I'm too surprised to see you here.
09:29You race these cars, yeah?
09:30Yes, I do.
09:31We've got a little intervention for you today.
09:34Oh, God.
09:34I don't think there's enough math in your life.
09:36And I'm here to change that.
09:38Oh, fantastic.
09:39So, Patrick, I'm going to teach you how to calculate the 0 to 200 and back down to 0 km per hour time for the new 911 Turbo S.
09:48Okay, let's do it.
09:49All we're trying to figure out is this T right here.
09:51We know our change in velocity already.
09:54It's 200 km per hour, right?
09:56Acceleration equals force divided by mass.
09:59Okay, great.
10:00That's all we need.
10:01The thing is, there's a lot of forces.
10:04So, the car, of course, is trying to accelerate the vehicle with the traction force.
10:09This one, this one right here, is equal to mass times acceleration.
10:13That's the A we're looking for.
10:14We also have to keep in mind aerodynamic drag.
10:17We have to think about rolling resistance.
10:19We have to think about rotational acceleration, like the wheels and tires and brake rotors and drive shafts.
10:26Are you with me so far?
10:28Okay, great.
10:29So, we need to solve all of this for that A.
10:33So, we're going to ignore and we're going to say we're on a flat surface, so we don't need to think about gravity pulling the car downhill.
10:39What is this block right here?
10:41I have no idea.
10:41It's a little chunk of time.
10:43Okay.
10:43So, all we're doing is we're just adding up these little chunks of time.
10:46We're finding the area under the curve.
10:49This is like baby calculus.
10:51It's pretty cool.
10:52Time is equal to the integral of our velocity from one point to another of the inverse of acceleration with respect to velocity.
11:00Using the actual numbers from Porsche, as well as some of my own estimates, we take our total acceleration time, we take our total braking time, we add them together, and what do we get?
11:1112.7 seconds.
11:15Well, let's see if your math is right.
11:17Ah, yes, let's do that.
11:18Thank you, Jase and Jörgy.
11:20How are you doing?
11:23Good.
11:23Long time not to see you.
11:24So good to see you.
11:25How are you doing?
11:25Good?
11:25Good.
11:26Have you been to the track?
11:27It's been a while.
11:28Well, I'll show you the line.
11:29Thanks, Jase.
11:30Okay, great.
11:32Yeah.
11:32See you, man.
11:33Okay.
11:34Ah!
11:39Oh, yeah!
11:46Oh, my goodness.
11:55Awesome.
11:56Oh, this is fantastic.
11:59The car gets always better and better.
12:05The power output you could just feel.
12:06Yeah.
12:07Incredible.
12:08With a T-Hybrid, it's just amazing.
12:10The acceleration is incredible.
12:12The E-Turbo, just a huge step forward for me.
12:16Drivability of the engine is amazing.
12:18And for me, it's just a perfect picture of comfortability on the highway.
12:23Right.
12:23But still, it's super sporty and you can just play around with the car so much.
12:27Right.
12:28Really perfect car.
12:31Oh, shit.
12:32Look at that.
12:32I can't wait for me to drive now and you get to sit in this seat.
12:39All right.
12:39Let's go.
12:47Oh, nice.
12:48See, I'm getting comfortable with this now.
12:56How are you doing over there?
12:57That's comfortable.
12:58Oh, look.
12:58I'll tell you, the braking is really nice.
13:07Really predictable.
13:07Yeah.
13:08It doesn't have that sort of over-grippy thing.
13:11Yeah, biggest brakes ever on a 911, man.
13:17So smooth.
13:18The suspension is really something else.
13:20We have a Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control, like you know, from the previous turbos.
13:24But now we have an electro-hydraulic system, so we use a high-voltage battery to power it,
13:33so the system is even quicker, so on the direction changes, the car is even more crisp
13:37and more precise, so for me, it works really, really well.
13:41A little drip there.
13:43Don't kill me, mate.
13:49So with all of these numbers that we're hearing about, are they absolutely true?
13:53Oh, is it all BS?
13:55There's only one way to find out.
13:57All right, let's go talk to them before.
13:58You need to get out of the car, you're too heavy, mate.
14:00I'm just trying to have fun now.
14:01All right, let's start with the launch.
14:12Zero, 200, zero.
14:22And 200, two, zero.
14:26Wow, that was quick.
14:2812.6.
14:29He was right.
14:31Good job.
14:34All right, let's talk to Jason.
14:3612.6 seconds.
14:39Perhaps Jorg skipped breakfast.
14:41It's the perfect supercar.
14:43You can use it as a daily driver, you can take it to the track,
14:46it has the performance, the reliability.
14:49Absolutely brilliant.
14:50Hey, I've got a little bit of time before my next flight.
14:53Are you up for a bit more whiteboard math?
14:54You know, I forgot something in the car.
14:58Jorg, he loves, loves math.
15:01Great.
15:01Great.
15:01Good morning.
15:26Hi, good morning.
15:28Patrick.
15:29Contractor or supplier?
15:31International movie star.
15:33Right.
15:35Nice.
15:38Hello, Bernd.
15:39Hello, Patrick.
15:40Good to see you.
15:41I was, I was, uh...
15:43You were, you're absent-minded.
15:45What is it?
15:45I was wondering.
15:46Let's start with.
15:47And I'll show you the light.
15:50Oh, come on.
15:50Let me go first.
15:52See you, Jason.
15:55Oh, it's locked.
15:59Perfect.
16:00I don't think there's enough math in your life.
16:02Oh, really?
16:02And we're here to change that.
16:03Thank you.
16:04Fantastic.
16:05Fantastic.
