Spectators look at the Porsche 911 GT3 R Hybrid race car outside the Department of Energy in Washington, DC, September 21, 2010. The GT3 R Hybrid, which will run the Petit Le Mans race next week at Road Atlanta, features two electric motors at the front axle powered by regenerative braking, each developing 60 kilowatts to supplement the 480 horsepower normally-aspirated rear-engine. Under braking, the 911 GT3 R Hybrid converts kinetic energy into electrical energy and stores it in a flywheel. During acceleration, this energy is automatically delivered to the front wheels, supporting the combustion engine. This leads to a reduction in fuel consumption and increases the cruising range. Moreover, drivers can manually utilize the stored energy with a boost-paddle on the steering wheel for overtaking.
