Porsche Developing Trick Stability Software Using Four-Motor E-SUV
Engineers in Stuttgart are working on a system that utilizes not two motors but four, one for each wheel. If that sounds suspiciously like Rimac’s design for its electric hypercars, you’re not wrong. Porsche, however, is spending considerable time not on the motors, but on a software package that uses existing sensors and an overall monitoring system to precisely control each motor. Furthermore, it’s being tested not for use in performance cars, but for electric SUVs. As such, safety is the primary mission for this endeavor, though Porsche does claim such a system could let an SUV corner like it’s on rails, even in snow.
