The President’s Column

Attitude

A

ttitude has been a constant struggle my entire life, especially before age 30. From the outside looking in, it seems utterly ridiculous that my attitude would be anything but unwaveringly positive 24/7/365. Having spent my formative years in Southern California enjoying the relaxed culture, magnificent weather and a very strong and supportive family structure, it is difficult to imagine how my life could be dramatically improved.

My two biggest role models, Mom and Dad, were both very capable while very different in their approaches to life and tackling the problems of everyday existence. Dad was always the one to work harder to find a solution. Perfection was never the goal, but failure was inconceivable. Mom had a totally different perspective -- creativity was her way.

She would find an alternate path which led to the same goal. Perfection was the goal which had been instilled in her from a very young age. Her family held her to extremely lofty goals, and she suffered accordingly her entire life.

Somewhat surprisingly, surviving an extremely difficult personal relationship turned my world around. Emerging from the fog, my view of the world changed for the better. I began to appreciate what I had been missing, and what used to seem important became petty details. Learning to accept and embrace family and friends as they are was a big step in the right direction. Being satisfied with my career and personal life, along with taking a realistic view of my limitations, helped to calm me in ways never expected.

Although the demons from the past occasionally rear their ugly heads, I try very hard to live in a productive frame of mind. My goal is to be friendly and considerate to everyone, and the corresponding ability to brighten someone’s day is wonderful.

Making the simple effort to help pays off, and I believe that positive energy is easy to share.

MIKE HODSON

Although I never felt family pressure to achieve perfection, I managed to regularly place that burden on myself. Frustrated by being unable to achieve that unrealistic goal, my attitude suffered. My temper got the best of me at times during academics, sports and hobbies.

Not being the sharpest knife in the drawer, it took many years to realize my fundamental problems: inappropriate expectations coupled with impatience and a lack of understanding of what truly matters in life, resulting in a poor attitude on my part.

Certainly the world has enough sadness and woe already, especially if one listens to the popular media, which thrives on suffering and pain. Try the high road. It feels good, it makes others feel good, and you won’t regret it.

Everywhere I go, everything I observe and everyone that I meet makes me deeply grateful for the wonderful life I lead. My problems, concerns and worries are silly compared to the vast majority of the human race. The positives vastly outweigh the negatives; therefore, I need to get my head screwed on straight, appreciate the benefits and act accordingly.

Attitudes are contagious. Is yours worth catching?

ARTICLE BY CHRIS ANDROPOULOS DER AUSPUFF TECHNICAL EDITOR

This is being written just days after Porsche’s sudden withdrawal from top-level endurance racing (not long after securing its 18th overall victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans) to focus on the burgeoning Formula E championship for all-electric race cars. Perhaps more significantly, both France and the United Kingdom have recently announced plans for a complete ban of the sale of gasoline and diesel-engined vehicles by 2040. Several other European nations are expected to follow suit, and a number of major city centers are only accessible by low or zero-emissions vehicles.

Of course, gasoline remains relatively plentiful and inexpensive and will continue to be the predominant form of automotive propulsion for decades to come. Nonetheless, the march towards electrification of the automotive fleet of the developed world is certain to accelerate as a result of these decrees. In fact, even before the French and UK announcements, Swedish automaker Volvo (owned by Chinese conglomerate Geely) unveiled its own ambitious plans to solely offer hybrid-electric and all-electric vehicles by 2019.

Speaking of China, it surpassed the United States as the world’s largest automotive market back in 2009, and the gap keeps widening. However, China has had to come to terms with its horrific record of environmental protection and has been forced to take action in an attempt to clean up its smog-choked cities. As such, the Chinese government has ordered strict new tailpipe emissions regulations that will meet existing “Euro 6” standards. These measures will come into effect next year and will be fully implemented by 2020.

Even in the absence of outright bans on IC-engined vehicles, existing IC engines have become quite complex to meet current and future fuel economy and CO2/ Continued on page 14

PORSCHE and the FUTURE

A

s these pages come to a close, the timing seems oddly prescient against the backdrop of a shifting automotive landscape. Porsche itself is healthier than ever with ever-rising sales (especially in expansive markets such as China and the Middle East) and is the world’s most profitable automaker. But as a prestige maker of sports and luxury automobiles, such continued success is anything but guaranteed.

PORSCHE and the FUTURE

Despite being a poster child for unadulterated, cacophonous internal combustion engine fun, Porsche has its sights set firmly on the future.

tures. Though Porsche seems to be letting sister company Audi take the lead in autonomous vehicle technology, the current 971 Panamera is available with an optional “InnoDrive” driver assistance system, which combines onboard sensors and a powerful GPS system to control acceleration and braking as efficiently as possible.

The driver merely needs to steer the vehicle.

As sophisticated as Porsche’s InnoDrive system is, it is only considered Level 2 (out of five defined levels) autonomous technology according to the U.S. Dept. of Transportation/Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) rating system. The “fully” autonomous vehicles being widely tested

by Google have Level 4 technology. With automotive fatalities on the rise after decades of decline, distracted driving is a serious issue, and autonomous technology may prove to be an answer.

exhaust emissions standards. Direct fuel injection and turbocharging are now mainstream technologies, as are eight, nine, and even ten-speed automatic transmissions, all of which add cost to a new vehicle. Furthermore, even gasoline direct-injected engines sold in the Euro zone will soon require particulate traps to be installed in the exhaust system to reduce soot/particulate emissions, which are cited as the main threat to public health in both the French and UK phase-out of IC engines.

At a certain point, all-electric vehicles become the simpler, more elegant solution, despite concerns about battery range and charging infrastructure. Renewable energy from solar and wind power is rapidly proliferating and becoming less expensive by the day. While it is true that almost 40% of the world’s energy comes from “dirty” sources like coal-fired power plants, these are either being phased out or being forced to become “cleaner.”

Besides environmental considerations, consumer preferences are also rapidly altering the concept of personal transportation. While the lack of automotive enthusiasm of the “millennial” generation has probably been overstated, younger consumers are not likely to purchase new vehicles at the same rate as their parents’ generation. In addition to the costs of purchasing, fueling, insuring, and parking a private vehicle, the advent of mobile ridehailing services such as Lyft and Uber and car-sharing services like ZipCar have made the notion of car ownership among urban citizens somewhat superfluous. After all, most private vehicles spend over 90% of their existence in a parking space!

And, much to the horror of “petrolheads” everywhere, the autonomous car is coming! While there are numerous technical and legal issues to be sorted, automakers are currently engaged in an arms race to introduce more and more self-driving fea-

Of course, carmakers need to sell new cars every year, and the prevailing trends are a threat to their very existence. Auto sales in the US and worldwide have been quite healthy during the past several years; but in many instances, this has been buoyed by generous incentives and ultralow lease rates. Given the razor-thin profit margins of the automotive industry as a whole, this is not a sustainable business model. There will likely be consolidation, bankruptcies, and other shake-ups in the years to come. Those who remain are likely to form alliances with tech giants such as Google and Apple rather than attempt to develop autonomous driving and connectivity technology completely in-house.

So, where does all of this leave Porsche?

Despite being a poster child for unadulterated, cacophonous IC engine fun, Porsche has its sights set firmly on the future.

Porsche has hedged its position by investing over one billion euros into an all-new factory to manufacture the production version of its all-electric Mission E sedan, which is slated to go on sale by 2020. (See my feature article on the prototype Mission E in the April 2016 issue of Excellence magazine for more info.) This electric fourdoor promises to challenge Tesla while offering an industry-first, 800-volt charging infrastructure to allow rapid recharging of the onboard battery pack. According to Porsche, an 80% charge could be achieved in 15 minutes.

Porsche’s new 800V Turbo Charging Station in Berlin While Porsche was initially mum on the subject of creating and maintaining an infrastructure of 800V “Turbo Charging” stations, the automaker has recently unveiled its first such apparatus outside of the factory at a branch office in Berlin. The facility features two standard charging stations suitable for Porsche’s current crop of “EHybrid” plug-in vehicles along with two of the new 800V rigs, complete with liquidcooled charging cables!

While it remains to be seen if and how rapidly Porsche can deploy such a network of charging stations across Europe and North America, help is coming from an interesting source. As part of the legal settlement resulting from the infamous “Dieselgate” scandal, the VW/Audi Group has agreed to invest $2 billion over the next decade into “clean energy” development.

This means that VAG is likely to foot the bill for the 800V charging infrastructure, and future VW/Audi electric vehicles will likely be adapted to use the 800V system as well.

changeable compression ratios in its future gasoline engines to further improve flexibility and fuel economy. Extended-range, plug-in hybrids will further proliferate Porsche’s lineup and will enable drivers to access city centers in the aforementioned European cities while in EV mode.

Even if consumer demand for Porsche sports cars and four-doors wanes, Porsche is in the unique position of being a revered engineering company, so it should be able to continue its longtime role of consulting for other firms.

Finally, what does this portend for you, the Porsche enthusiast holding this magazine? Times are certainly changing, but the market for vintage Porsches and other classics is stronger than ever. You will be able to enjoy that 356, 911, 914 or 986 Boxster for years to come (at least in the United States). And while some may lament the recent unavailability of the classic, normally-aspirated flat-six in Porsche’s mainstream models or the relative lack of manual transmissions, there are thousands of used examples out there with both options!

In the meantime, Porsche has recently filed a patent for variable-length connecting rod technology, which will enable

hey say that the best classes are taught by the best teachers. Dissecting technical information into easily understandable bits, combined with an engaging and humorous style, made Scott Mann, Chief Driving Instructor for PCA Zone 8, everyone’s favorite taskmaster at the inaugural Adult Driving School.

Scott has been a professional driving coach for many years as well as a consultant to many auto manufacturers. Extremely pragmatic, Scott tells it like it is without the dubious benefit of filters to dilute his message. His frankness in the classroom environment, and in a car one-on-one, is refreshing, entertaining and very informative.

Thirty-two students gathered at the Camarillo Airport for a fun day of classroom theory followed by driving exercises designed to put the various theories into realworld action.

First up was emergency braking practice, the objective being to feel the limits of the car during a panic stop. Students were encouraged to progressively explore the braking capability of their cars by increasing entry speeds and the level of brake application aggression. Understandably, several participants were reluctant to subject their vehicles to the perceived “harsh” level requested. Quickly, everyone realized that no vehicle “abuse” was going to occur.

Next up was the emergency lane change maneuver involving swerving the car either left or right into an adjacent “lane,” then coming to a full stop. Again, slowly increasing speed allowed all to begin to discover what their vehicles were capable of doing.

Front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive allowed each participant to experience understeer, oversteer and to plain have fun, all within the very safe AUSPUFF SEPTEMBER 2O17

environment of the unused runway pavement.

Navigating the slalom course, then executing a last-second simulated accident avoidance maneuver, proved to be a challenge, especially when the slalom course was lengthened and the speeds increased. Drivers learned the importance of smoothness in their car control inputs, including acceleration, braking and steering. All those observing were very pleased to see the progress of the students as they noticeably improved their skills, sporting big smiles to verify their enjoyment.

To cap off the day, a figure-eight course was made more “interesting� with the addition of water on the driving surface. The cars got dirty, the drivers felt the front and back of their machines slide, and everyone stretched their comfort zones.

It was a wonderful day of learning for all involved, including the organizers. As this was the first time that PCA/SBR held an Adult Driving School, we sailed into some new waters. Huge thanks go out to our students for their patience. We know that some of the wait times were long. Thanks also to our volunteers, including Doreen Pankow, Ted Lighthizer, Kenny and Tara Brundrett, Gary Olmstead, Desmond Warren, Tom Marshall, Joe Niederst, Glenn Crawford and Don Dickey. Of course, much appreciation is extended to Scott Mann, who drove his V-8 powered Boxster S (!) all the way from Las Vegas to make the event possible.

Our objective was not to transform the driving skills of our students in one day. That goal is unrealistic. We did, however, wish to transform the way our students THINK about their driving. Hopefully, we succeeded. Thanks again to everyone for participating and helping. =
