The Next Chapter in Porsche's Iconic Sports Car History Begins

Porsches all-new 911 is finally here, marking the beginning of a new chapter in an iconic sports car's history. The eighth generation of this legendary vehicle has been highly anticipated, and after countless spy photos and rumors, we have all the details about what makes the 2020 Porsche 911 the most sophisticated Carrera ever.

The 911 will enter production first as S and 4S variants, followed by entry-level and higher-performance trims. Predictably, power comes from a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter flat-6 engine that produces 443 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque. This represents an increase of 23 horsepower and 22 pound-feet respectively at launch. The S batch models will only be equipped with an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, but a 7-speed manual unit will be offered with certain trims later on.

The 911 Carrera S performs the benchmark 0-to-60 sprint in 3.5 seconds, making it nearly half a second quicker than its predecessor. Selecting all-wheel-drive drops that time to a tenth of a second and keeps accelerating until it reaches 190 miles per hour. Before long, Porsche will introduce two hybrid variants of its 992 generation: the Carrera 4 e-hybrid and the Turbo S e-hybrid. The latter is expected to produce more than 600 horsepower and hit 60 miles per hour well below 3 seconds.

GT3 GTS Targa and other current variants are also expected to arrive over the next few years. Porsche's designers have subtly sharpened the 911's rounded physique, giving the 992 model some throwback styling cues alongside forward-thinking traits. A squared-off nose, creased hood, oval headlights in the same classic silhouette assure fans that this is a Carrera through and through. However, the rear end steps into the future with LED lights connected by a center bar and new vents over the engine with an integrated brake light.

Buyers can select from new 19 or 20-inch front and 20 or 21-inch rear wheels, although the new 911 doesn't grow in length; it's wider predecessor for improved stability and turn-in response. This is the first time that rear and all-wheel drive variants have the same rear track inside the 911. The interior is more digital than ever before, borrowing features from the Cayenne and Panamera, including an instrument cluster made up of two large driver-configurable screens positioned on either side of an analogue tachometer.

Porsche includes a standard 10-point-nine-inch touchscreen for the infotainment system and online navigation with real-time traffic information. The 2020 911 also introduces a wet weather detector that uses sensors in the wheel well to monitor water buildup coming off the front tires when the system hits a certain mark, it adjusts the stability control system and alerts the driver to switch into wet driving mode. Other available driving aids include night vision first for the 911 and adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go.

The S model retails for $114,250 including destination, while the base Carrera starts at around $96,000. Most models are on sale now, and deliveries will begin during the summer of 2019 with the all-new 911. Porsche reaffirms its hero car's timeless physique and driving prowess while advancing the Carrera safety technology and refinement.
