I'm not sure if that's supposed to be a correction, but if so I don't understand. The description of the two new strokes is as an addition to the normal four, one of which is the fuel intake, I was not assuming that decreases in quantity or anything. It could do, it's just orthogonal to the point - if you don't entirely combust whatever amount you inject in the first ignition , then the idea here aiui is to compress & ignite again to, yes, get some more 'power' out of it.
- randerson 2y agoA recent example of what (I think) the parent is saying, is the new 911 GTS which is now a T-Hybrid [0] engine. But the electric motor doesn't give it better gas mileage than its predecessor, it is just used to eliminate turbo lag which allows them to use a bigger turbo, giving it more horsepower, and using a leaner fuel mixture at full throttle to meet the latest emissions standards.

- _yb2s 2y agoIt is not a correction, but additional context. Indeed Porsche cares about efficiency- but there are different ways to then leverage that efficiency- for either a more powerful car, or a more fuel efficient car. Porsche will choose the more powerful car, because they sell sports cars, not economy cars. Also see my other reply in this thread.
