The researchers aimed to reduce fuel consumption in the Porsche 995 Research Car by making it lighter, more aerodynamic, and improving energy efficiency. They found that engine size, idling fuel consumption, and driving performance affect overall fuel economy. Two engine variants (four-cylinder and eight-cylinder with partial cylinder cutoff) were chosen for further study. An automatic mechanical five-speed transmission with double clutch action was the most efficient option. A central electronic system will control ignition, fuel injection, transmission, and other functions.
