Technically yes there's "more stress on the engine" as the engine would be pumping out more bhp before mechanical and throttle losses and burning more fuel, but because you're reducing the temperature that you're burning the fuel at, less heat will make it to the coolant.
Yes the Porsche is using the radius.Here's a link to the Ultralite.
Dozens of concept cars have used this.Scagglione of Ferrari may have been the individual to introduce the concept.
