UFI Multitube fitted in new Porsche 911
The new generation Porsche 911 (known as 992.2) in the Carrera Coupé, Cabriolet, and Targa versions features one of the most innovative filtration solutions from UFI Filters: the exclusive UFI Multitube.
Designed by UFI researchers, this new generation of engine air filter replaces the traditional panel filter with a patented tubular structure. The company says it represents a significant leap forward in filtration technology that optimises air flow, reduces energy losses, and contributes to increased performance, making the vehicle more efficient and powerful.
The UFI Multitube filter features a patented tubular structure that replaces the classic panel filter and radically improves the fluid dynamics of the air flow in the engine. Thanks to this geometry, the air flows more linearly through the filter, reducing aerodynamic drag and improving engine response.
According to UFI, certified tests have shown that this system can increase engine power by up to four per cent on certain models, while reducing fuel consumption and emissions.
The UFI Multitube for the Porsche 911 features black filter material for a discreet look, high filtration efficiency, a reduced footprint, and a lightweight and reduced size. The filter is positioned above the intercooler to further optimise the car’s overall efficiency.
In addition to the integration of the UFI Multitube, the restyled Porsche 911 opens up to electrification with the new T-Hybrid system installed on the 911 GTS – the first hybrid model in the range. This advanced hybrid system consists of an electric motor integrated into the turbocharger, which also acts as a generator and delivers up to 11 kW of electrical power.
In addition, a permanent magnet synchronous motor integrated into the 8-speed PDK gearbox adds 54 hp and 150 Nm to the main engine, for a total of 541 hp and 610 Nm of torque. The hybrid is powered by a 1.9 kWh high-voltage battery with a voltage of 400 V and compact dimensions equivalent to a conventional starter battery. This system complements the 911 GTS’s new 3.6-litre boxer engine, which produces 485 bhp and 570 Nm of base torque – a significant increase over the previous 3.0-litre engine.
