Mr. Glitterati

Whether you’re talking about a bespoke smoking jacket, an electronic tennis racket or a top-of-the-line German sports car, substance trumps style every time.

In other words, if it’s only pretty to look at, it’s not really worth your money (this is especially true in the case of the electronic tennis racket, because of all the competition out there).

Thankfully, you don’t have to worry about this with the new Porsche 911. It’s the fastest, most fuel-efficient Porsche 911 ever.

I’m going to be frank with you (after all, it is a German sports car we’re talking about): this automobile was meant to be—no, deserves to be—driven every day. So if you’re just looking for some kind of driveway ornament to pull out for quickie joyrides on the weekends, you’re barking up the wrong tree. It’s not that kind of car.

See: this is the first Porsche 911 to be equipped with two racing-inspired technologies—DFI or Direct Fuel Injection, and PDK or Porsche Doppelkupplung. The first leads to an extremely obedient gas pedal, and the second helps you rip through seven gears (yes, we said seven) with racetrack-level speed and power. The result is a Porsche that grabs 27mpg highway, while topping out at 188mph and going from a dead stop to 60mph in about four seconds.

All of which you need. You absolutely need.
