The new 911 GT3 RS seen here in a tribute to its duck-tail spoiler 2.7 RS ancestor features a truly massive rear wing for double the downforce. Picture: SUPPLIED
In the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS the adjustable wing elements in front and side blades work in combination with a new, two-part rear wing. Together they provide 409kg of downforce at 200km/h, double the previous model. At 285km/h, total downforce is 860kg. The downforce-to-drag ratio is also optimised for cornering abilities and performance, while visual add-ons include a motorsport-inspired intake that feeds cold air into its V10 engine while also providing an engaging induction sound.
The wing on the AMG Project One is electrically retracted through driving modes and there's a DRS function.

Apart from opening and closing louvres and flaps in front, the Project ONE features a retractable rear wing.
