Function

The longitudinal section through the front end allows us a glimpse into the inner life of the Porsche Turbo from dashboard to the front luggage compartment. Striking firstly is probably the drive line to the front axle (all-wheel drive). Aside, the coolant pipes from the rear engine to the front heat exchangers and the interior heating. In this context, probably interesting to see how much space needed for heating air conditioning.
In addition to parts of the front struts with reinforcing strut bars are still visible the tank with filler neck and the overlying battery. Further refinements still can be seen on the large screen (click!).

Security

As a precaution against frontal impact, the trunk is visible. It takes in case of need the energy. At the tank begins the protected area. The tank is made of plastic and the filler is also not leaking when it is displaced. The side sills are sized strong against side impact. Remarkably is a bar front at mid-height of the passenger compartment. It deduces impulses from the outside, and also protects the car occupants. The same may also be assumed from the doors. General in sports cars the passengers are mostly placed a little more inside. Should it come to impact on the dashboard, so it is prepared almost perfectly by cushioning and rounded edges
