Almost six decades of development make the new Porsche 911 the best yet and the Motor Authority Best Car To Buy 2020.
. Its masterful handling, comfortable ride, ready power, and even those familiar looks stood out, but it was the 911’s poise and precision on a racetrack that put it in another league. Our 911 4S tester owned the two miles of Atlanta Motorsports Park, and made us all feel like better drivers.
All 911s are now turbocharged and they all make more power than before. The base car produces 379 horsepower and 331 pound-feet of torque, while the S and 4S spin up 443 hp and 390 lb-ft of torque. Even the base car hits 60 mph in about four seconds, while the 4S drops that time to 3.2 seconds. Buyers have a choice between a quick-shifting 8-speed dual-clutch automatic or a 7-speed manual transmission.
On the road and track, these changes translate to unflappable stability, incredible grip, agile moves, and ready power. The S and 4S models we've driven feel faster than their horsepower figures suggest. As for handling, the 911 may be too stable in turns; it requires an act of hooliganism to get the rear end to slide. It all inspires confidence and turns a good driver into a great driver.
