Integrated dry-sump lubrication guarantees a reliable oil supply while reducing engine temperatures, even in sportily driven cars. The oil reservoir is located inside the engine. Four oil pumps transport the oil from the cylinder heads directly into the oil sump. A fifth pump in the oil sump directly supplies the lubricating points in the engine.

To reduce power losses and increase efficiency, an electronically controlled oil pump supplies the engine lubrication points as and when required. This means that the oil pump does not work so hard when there is less demand for lubrication. The benefits of an on-demand oil supply system are optimum efficiency combined with a reduction in both fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

For the engine, these detailed solutions mean a consistent oil supply, regardless of gravitational loads, even in the most demanding track conditions.
