EDITORS’ CHOICE: BEST TIMEPIECE FOR RETIREES
Elegant, classic and decidedly contemporary, the Perpetual 1908 immortalises Rolex’s age-long daring spirit. In 18-carat yellow or white gold, its slim case is defined by gracious lines, a bezel that is part domed and part finely fluted, and a transparent case back which allows the technical sophistication and the decoration on the movement to be seen and admired. At its heart beats calibre 7140, an entirely new movement distinctive for its innovative design and the Rolex Côtes de Genève decoration on its bridges. Check out rolex.com for more.
EDITORS’ CHOICE: BEST CAR FOR RETIREES
There’s retiring in style, then there’s retiring with a new Porsche in the garage.
If you’re a sports-car enthusiast who craves exhilarating performance without compromising everyday practicality, then the 2023 Porsche Taycan GTS has your name written all over it.
Equipped with two electric motors – one for the front axle and one for the rear – the Taycan GTS comes standard with all-wheel drive, ensuring optimal traction and control. These motors, specifically adapted for the GTS, deliver impressive power and acceleration, allowing you to go from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds.
Porsche has incorporated innovative technology into the GTS to enhance efficiency and extend the operating range. In certain driving modes, the front electric motor is nearly completely disconnected, reducing frictional drag losses and improving efficiency. Additionally, the GTS features the Performance Battery Plus, offering a total capacity of 93.4 kWh and a range of up to 504 kilometres.
The GTS boasts a sport-tuned adaptive air suspension, including Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), for enhanced lateral dynamics. The rear-axle steering option further enhances the car’s agility. Plus, the modified Porsche Electric Sport Sound provides a richer and more engaging auditory experience.
With the Sport Chrono Package as standard, you can easily select from a range of driving modes using the GT multifunction sports steering wheel. The Sport mode, in particular, has been fine-tuned to deliver an even more dynamic driving experience compared to other Taycan models.
