Future Car – Eco-friendly Porsche
Enter the 911 Carrera 4S with its vast number of improvements headlined by Porsche’s new generation of direct injected engines. With gains made in power output and mileage numbers, and with significantly reduced emissions, Porsche’s direct fuel injection – or DFI – makes for an even better rounded 911-model range.
This speed demon is charged by a 3.4 liter V8 engine which comes equipped with a lithium ion battery pack that can be charged from almost anywhere, not to mention whenever you hit the brakes as well. No word yet on the pricing but you can safely assume it will be in the 6 digit field (estimates have been set near the $500,000 mark), and is not expected to be listed for sale on the market for at least another year, probably closer to 2012 or 2013. The bad news is that you probably never will own one of these babies, or anything close to it, but the good news is that future cars will benefit from these technological break-throughs and the overall quality of regular day-to-day cars will be enhanced. Way to go Porsche!
Bless you for making the effort to describe the terminlogy for the beginners!
