Porsche set to build GT3 RS-inspired food blender that revs to 50,000rpm
Lightweight, rev-hungry kitchen appliance will feature less, for more

Porsche is preparing a limited run of food blenders inspired by its 911 GT3 RS sportscar that will offer lightweight blades that rev to 50,000rpm for double the price.
Following the successful launch of its collection of fridges, kettles and toasters, the Stuttgart carmaker is keen to deploy learnings gained over decades of stripping out comfort features from its long-running sportscar in exchange for absolutely rabid performance.
As such, the GT3 RS-inspired series of Porsche blenders will feature less functionality, a lighter fabric side pull-handle and specially crafted blades to save weight in order to spin twice as fast as a regular blender.
“The new RennSport Food Blender combines Porsche’s decades-long history of taking something really good, stripping it to the bone, juicing up the power and making it really, really good," said a source close to the project.
“Each one will feature a new aerodynamic profile, lightweight internals, and a unique whirring noise that we’ve tuned to sound like a really tiny, really angry naturally-aspirated flat-six engine.
“Our constant pursuit of performance means our GT3 RS-inspired blenders will feel uniquely and exclusively Porsche, at double the cost of a regular blender.”
Insiders report just 1,922 GT3 RS-inspired Porsche food blenders are set to be built – commemorating the year in which the world’s first electric blender was revealed – and all have been accounted for before they’ve even gone on sale.
However, Porsche is already considering an additional run of ‘Weissach Pack’ GT3 RS-inspired food blenders featuring a tiny carbon fibre strut brace for the lid, magnesium tipped rotor blades and a specially-liveried helmet.
