Porsche cares a lot about efficiency, because with higher efficiency they can make more power. They are a sports car company, and ultimately are building high performance vehicles. That is in contrast to other less performance focused car companies, which would use efficiency gains to allow them to use a smaller engine- thereby making it both more fuel efficient and cheaper/lighter, but not faster.
The Porsche 918 Spyder for example is a plug in hybrid supercar, which uses the hybrid system together with a massive gasoline engine- to make it really really fast.
- dahart 2y agoPorsche can get more power without higher efficiency. That they’re choosing efficiency means they’re looking for higher power with lower fuel consumption. How they choose to use that efficiency is their business, I’m just pointing out that they do, in fact, care about fuel consumption, and claiming otherwise just because they sell high performance cars, is incorrect.
