Flooding at St Regis Residences, Singapore.

Torrential rain led to flash floods occurring in the Orchard Road area during the weekend. A few millions of dollars went down the drain after luxury super cars were damaged after being submerged in the basement 3 carpark of St Regis Residences at Tanglin Road. The trail of carnage didn't stop there - Tanglin Mall experienced a 'waterfall' as a ceiling collapsed and goods were destroyed.

The New 911 Porsche Carrera GTS.

Since 1963, the sportscar world has talked about three numbers: 911.

Today, we’re talking about three letters: GTS.

The 911 Carrera is renowned for being an unadulterated sportscar. The engine is positioned low down in the rear. The car’s silhouette is distinctive, the design is unmistakable. Since 1963, the 911 concept has been the source of much inspiration. Some ideas made it only as far as the drawing board, before being shelved.

The new 911 Carrera GTS.

More power. Maximum torque is reached earlier. An even faster throttle response and even better acceleration. An even sportier driving experience. These are the most compelling attributes compared with the 911 Carrera S models. The figures say it all. The uprated 3.8-litre flat-six engine with direct fuel injection (DFI) now delivers 300 kW (408 hp), 23 hp more than the 911 Carrera S. The Coupé model completes the 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) sprint in 4.6 seconds, the Cabriolet in 4.8 seconds.

The optional Sport Chrono Package Plus is the essence of motorsport, offering an even more dynamic tuning of the chassis and engine setup. In conjunction with the optional Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK), the Sport Chrono Package Plus delivers a further improvement in acceleration: 4.2 seconds for the Coupé and 4.4 seconds for the Cabriolet. Gear changes take place in milliseconds, with no interruption in the flow of power. Together, this spells 911 Carrera GTS.

The uprated 3.8-litre sixcylinder rear engine of the new 911 Carrera GTS models generates 300 kW (408 hp) at 7,300 rpm. Maximum torque is 420 Nm and both models achieve a top speed of 190 mph (306 km/h).

Its use of form, the 911 Carrera found its ideal line way back in 1963, but it continues to refine, millimetre by millimetre. The 911 Carrera GTS is the clearest result yet.
