[Porsche]() teased about a year ago that its gold-standard track weapon will [have to gain powertrain assistance of some variety]()—either through electric motors or, more likely, turbocharging—to comply with incoming Euro 7 emissions regulations. And now *The Drive* can confirm the upcoming 2027 Porsche 911 GT3 RS will be turbocharged. The reason? It's indeed to comply with the looming Euro 7 emissions regutaions. But the 911 GT3 RS has also been taking a beating from the [Ford Mustang GTD]() and [Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X](). It's time for the king to get some boost juice. Nobody wants to spend $400,000 and get destroyed by a $200,000 Chevy Corvette, right? The latest test mules for the 2027 Porsche 911 GT3 RS are currently undergoing cold-weather testing on public roads in the snow of Scandinavia near the Arctic Circle. But we can clear as day see a new rear wing design with three horizontal elements compared to today's car, which features two elements. Expect the rear wing to still feature a DRS system for active aero, though it's unclear which of the three elements move. Less noticeable but still important is a large air outlet above the rear number plate that will surely extra hot air from the engine compartment. The snails have to breathe somehow. In addition, the tailpipes are now thicker and sit above a new diffuser plus what appears to be an additional pair of exhaust pipes at the fringes, pointed down at the ground. Up front there's a completely new bumper design, but production elements are still missing. Previously, we spotted the updated 911 GT3 RS lapping the Nurburgring, and as an Instagram video courtesy of joelre98 showed a prototype car at speed at the Green Hell, accompanied by an unmistakable *whoosh*. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DNv3Q2p0Ifo/ That noise indeed sounds like boost. Today's free-breathing engine will soon be a thing of the past, but likely so too is its 9,000-rpm redline. The writing's been on the wall, but it'd be a shame all the same. There's a new super-911 in the works with boosted power. A debut and subsequent production is expected around August. - ![2027 Porsche 911 GT3 RS spy shots]() - ![2027 Porsche 911 GT3 RS spy shots]() - ![2027 Porsche 911 GT3 RS spy shots]() - ![2027 Porsche 911 GT3 RS spy shots]() - ![2027 Porsche 911 GT3 RS spy shots]() - ![2027 Porsche 911 GT3 RS spy shots]() - ![2027 Porsche 911 GT3 RS spy shots]() - ![2027 Porsche 911 GT3 RS spy shots]() - ![2027 Porsche 911 GT3 RS spy shots]() - ![2027 Porsche 911 GT3 RS spy shots]() - ![2027 Porsche 911 GT3 RS spy shots]() - ![2027 Porsche 911 GT3 RS spy shots]() - ![2027 Porsche 911 GT3 RS spy shots]() - ![2027 Porsche 911 GT3 RS spy shots]() - ![2027 Porsche 911 GT3 RS spy shots]() - ![2027 Porsche 911 GT3 RS spy shots]() - ![2027 Porsche 911 GT3 RS spy shots]() - ![2027 Porsche 911 GT3 RS spy shots]() - ![2027 Porsche 911 GT3 RS spy shots]() [][][] *Got tips?
