Hi PPBB
Have you seen this firm http://vonnen.com/ ?
They retro fit KERS to 911s. Replaces traditional flywheel with a slimline electric motor that houses the flywheel
Did you make progress with your KERS idea??
Yes I've seen this, it's a good solution and the integration of motor to flywheel is a well developed OEM approach to it. Have you seen this firm http://vonnen.com/ ?

However I am aiming to provide an electronic infinitely variable centre diff with the front wheels being entirely electrically driven and the rears from the ICE ala GT3R-Hybrid which this setup doesn't allow.
Dev is going fairly well as and when time is available, I have a full front diff and motor setup on a test rig at the moment

Ooooh, now that IS interesting! They retro fit KERS to 911s. Replaces traditional flywheel with a slimline electric motor that houses the flywheel
Far far far too expensive. But if it comes down in price very substantially then I could be interested. Thanks for the link!

Is this done yet?
Given that he says things to do in 2020, and it isn't yet the end of January, it's unlikely!Nice to see the update and plans for the car though, one day I will have 1 of these, hopefully before the prices rise too much! PPBB can you give a summary of the preventative maintenance/lifing of components that you've referred to a number of times.
Thanks
Hugh
Did you ever manage to progress with the development of the brake discs i.e. adopting the spline type arrangement rather than the bobbin type? Or was it more cost effective for your time to simply replace with off the shelf Brembos (knowing that you must be real busy with KERS and other daytime job related tasks)?
