Where is the 911 engine located?
1 Answers
911 engine is positioned where the trunk would normally be in conventional models, facing backward behind the seats, making it a rear-engine configuration. The 911's engine employs a dry-sump lubrication system, but unlike conventional lubrication systems, the oil pan isn't mounted at the bottom of the engine. This design lowers the engine's center of gravity closer to the road surface. Used oil is collected by a scavenge pump located beneath the crankshaft and transported to a remote oil tank. The 911 is a sports car manufactured by Porsche AG in Stuttgart, Germany. It is available in both rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive versions, featuring MacPherson strut front suspension and multi-link rear suspension, with electric power steering assistance.
