The past
After its presentation in Geneva, the 928 was named European Car of the Year - the only sports car to have won this title to date. More than 61.000 copies were sold worldwide. The V8 front engine was used in all versions of the 928 and underlined the excellent technology, the new design and the high level of performance of the sports coupe. But the V8 engines from Porsche have also celebrated successes in motorsport – sometimes on the most challenging tracks in the world: from the Cayenne S, which raced over the dunes of the Transsyberia Rally, to the RS Spyder, which clinched class victories in Sebring and Le Mans.
From 2006 to 2008, the RS Spyder regularly challenged the top performers in the American Le Mans Racing Series, surprising the motorsport world with an overall win at the 12 2008 Hours of Sebring. Porsche engineers came up with the 3,4 liter V8 engine developed from scratch with a 90-degree cylinder angle – a key factor in the great success of the RS Spyder throughout its lifetime.
The RS Spyder later became the first modern super sports car from Porsche: the 918 Spyder. This car featured a hybrid powertrain and motorsport technology, an electric motor and a high-revving naturally aspirated V8 engine modeled on the RS Spyder race car. The 918 Spyder heralded a new era of high-performance hybrids. The technology has also been transferred to some of the current models in the Cayenne and Panamera ranges, with the performance and efficiency of the V8 engine being further improved together with the battery electric motors.
The presence
A V8 engine can currently be found in seven Porsche models:
- Panamera GTS (Panamera GTS: combined fuel consumption (WLTP) 13,1 – 12,1 l/100 km, combined CO₂ emissions* (WLTP) 296 – 275 g/km, combined fuel consumption* (NEDC) 10,9 – 10,7 l/ 100 km, combined CO₂ emissions* (NEDC) 249 – 244 g/km).
- Panamera TurboS (Panamera Turbo S: combined fuel consumption (WLTP) 13,2 - 12,8 l/100 km, combined CO₂ emissions* (WLTP) 298 - 290 g/km, combined fuel consumption* (NEDC) 10,8 - 10,7 l /100 km, CO₂ emissions* combined (NEDC) 247 – 245 g/km)
- Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid (Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid: combined fuel consumption (WLTP) 2,9 - 2,7 l/100 km, combined CO₂ emissions* (WLTP) 66 - 62 g/km, combined power consumption* (WLTP) 24,6 - 24,0 .100 kWh/48 km, combined electric range (WLTP) 50 – 49 km, urban electric range (WLTP) 50 – 2,7 km, combined fuel consumption* (NEDC) 100 l/62 km, combined CO₂ emissions* (NEDC ) 21,8 g/km, power consumption* combined (NEDC) 100 kWh/XNUMX km)
- Cayenne GTS (Cayenne GTS: combined fuel consumption (WLTP) 14,1 – 13,3 l/100 km, combined CO₂ emissions* (WLTP) 319 – 301 g/km, combined fuel consumption* (NEDC) 11,4 – 11,2 l/ 100 km, CO₂ emissions* combined (NEDC) 260 – 255 g/km)
- Cayenne Turbo (Cayenne Turbo: combined fuel consumption (WLTP) 14,1 – 13,5 l/100 km, combined CO₂ emissions* (WLTP) 319 – 305 g/km, combined fuel consumption* (NEDC) 11,6 l/100 km, CO₂ emissions* combined (NEDC) 264 g/km)
- Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid (Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid: combined fuel consumption (WLTP) 4,0 – 3,8 l/100 km, combined CO₂ emissions* (WLTP) 92 – 86 g/km, combined power consumption* (WLTP) 25,9 – 25,3 .100 kWh/39 km, combined electric range (WLTP) 40 - 41 km, urban electric range (WLTP) 42 - 3,3 km, combined fuel consumption* (NEDC) 3,2 - 100 l/75 km, CO₂ emissions * combined (NEDC) 72 - 23,3 g/km, power consumption* combined (NEDC) 22,8 - 100 kWh/XNUMX km)
- Cayenne Turbo GT (Cayenne Turbo GT: combined fuel consumption (WLTP) 14,1 l/100 km, combined CO₂ emissions* (WLTP) 319 g/km, combined fuel consumption* (NEDC) 11,9 l/100 km, combined CO₂ emissions* ( NEDC) 271 g/km)
As with the 918 Spyder, the powertrains of the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid and the Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid seamlessly combine hybrid technology with a powerful V8 engine. The result is a fast, efficient and responsive road car that's equally at home on high-speed country roads as it is on a leisurely dinner drive.
The Cayenne Turbo GT, the new top model of the Cayenne series, impressed on the legendary Nürburgring-Nordschleife with an impressive lap time and an SUV lap record of 7:38,9 minutes - a driving experience like you have never experienced with an SUV .
The future
The ever-evolving story of the Porsche V8 begins a new chapter in the form of the recently unveiled Porsche LMDh prototype. When choosing the internal combustion engine to complement the standard hybrid elements specified in the regulations, Porsche opted for a large-volume V8 engine with dual turbocharging. From the 2023 season, the LMDh prototype will fight for overall victories in the world’s biggest endurance races, including Le Mans, Daytona and Sebring.
