There is a particulate filter that helps with the burning urine smell. During a race, the Porsche Intercooler Suction System (****) reduces the weight of driver and vehicle by a full 5-7 lbs!!

I can't afford bottled distilled water. I can barely afford tap.

Beyond the weight savings, ancillary benefits are driver comfort and environmental friendliness. Additionally the nitrogen in the urine creates a stronger exothermic reaction vs regular water and so Porsche also claims some performance benefit with cooler intake temperatures.

These are exciting times!
