With Formula 1-inspired aero, Porsche’s new 911 GT3 RS conjures pavement-hugging performance out of thin air.

IF YOU WANT to understand the story of the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS, just look at the wing – and, really, where else would you look?

The latest 911 variant had been rumoured to receive a 4.2-litre mill, the same displacement as the feral GT3 R race car, but Porsche says the bigger engine wouldn’t have met emissions standards. So, to solve how to build a better sports car without boosting its brawn, the German marque leaned into the wind.

It’s here where we point out that the 518hp, naturally aspirated 4.0-litre flat-six engine is no slouch, with a dizzying 9,000rpm redline and six individual throttle bodies – inherited from the GT3 – that provide a gratifyingly sharp response from the right pedal. But it’s an evolution of an existing engine, whereas the car’s downforce numbers compared to its predecessor’s might as well be from a different machine entirely.

Best of the Best - Wine

Lounging in a Maldivian resort, wine-tasting in Bordeaux, putting a sports car through its paces at Sonoma Raceway, curating the best watches from Geneva, perusing the top menswear accoutrements in Milan, testing cutting-edge yachts in Monaco. The life of a Robb Report editor may sound glamorous, but-actually, we can't argue there. Even so, separating the wheat from the chaff is no small task in the luxury realm, since even the chaff can be mighty impressive. In our 36th annual Best of the Best issue, we again offer our assessment of the past year's most exemplary products, places and experiences. And yes, edition number 37 is already underway.
