Certainly, but for what? Well, quite simply to increase the volume of gas sucked in during intake, i.e. when the piston goes down into the cylinder and sucks in the gas mixture (and the same for the exhaust when the piston is raised to remove the burnt gases). Indeed, for a cylinder diameter (bore) of 81 mm for example, you can accommodate 2 valves of 40 and 33.1 mm (Golf 2 GTi 1.8 l) or 4 valves of 32.7 and 28.7 mm (Golf 2 GTi 1.8 16S) in the cylinder head, for example, 2 GTi 1.8 16S valves, i.e. intake + exhaust opening areas of 21.16 cm2 and 29.71 cm2 respectively. The 4 small valves open a larger passage for the gases which results in an increase in the power delivered by the engine.
Since April 25, 1931, when the company Porsche GmbH was founded by Ferdinand Porsche, the German brand has been at the forefront of the global automotive scene. Its ability to produce models at the cutting edge of technology allows it to remain among the leaders. Between the 911, Boxster, Cayman ranges and the models entered in racing, the know-how of the German firm is well established. Over the years, the race for power and exclusivity has raged among manufacturers. Thus, in the early 2000s, the German firm launched the production of a new model: the Carrera GT, a real supercar.
