Variable compression connecting rods? Huh?
This is a rather interesting bit of information. Do you suppose Porsche really can pull this off?

That’s pretty cool but at such a high stress point in the engine I feel like it will be hard to maintain high reliability with the added complexity idk though.
Yeah the reliability for something like this on a, like you said, high stress point in the engine really is reason for concern for such a concept. However, this is Porsche we’re talking about so who knows what sort of German wizardry they’ll conjure up with this idea. :P
Had the same thought… But remember that this is VW… Where there is a will there is a way XD
Porsche were never reliable
I thought of it first
Porsche had stuff like TPMS, ABS, and other things back in the 80’s. I’m sure they’ll figure it out.
Eh, they are germans, they’ll get it
I wonder how the weight of this connecting rod will compare with a standard one.
Yeah and also its more rotating mass so that means a lower redline which i don’t think is worth the variable compression in my opinion
This is when i thought what else could still be invented… Pretty cool
from what I understand (and that is little) this is revolutionary.
Not really.
What they could do is do what the RC-F did and use variable valve timing to create an Atkinson cycle.
Then Porsche will be like: Higher compresion rod kicked in yo!
Thats cool! though im guessing higher maintenance
