The 2020 Porsche 911 Carrera S is a petrol sports car with RWD and seating for 4. It belongs to the 992.1 generation. The Carrera S is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured Carrera S version develops 450 hp and 530 Nm (391 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 3.5 seconds, which is seriously quick. Top speed is listed at 308 km/h (191 mph). Its power output is about 7% below the peer average. Its 0-100 km/h time is about 6% slower than the peer average. The figures establish its straight-line performance on paper, but they do not substitute for measured braking, handling or ride-quality tests.
Fuel economy and range
The listed fuel consumption is 9.8 L/100km. Fuel-tank capacity is 64.0 litres (16.9 US gallons). Recorded CO2 emissions are 223 g/km. Consumption, emissions and range can be measured under different regional procedures, so like-for-like comparisons should use the same market and test cycle.
Dimensions and practicality
Its exterior dimensions are 4,519 mm (177.9 in) in length, 1,852 mm (72.9 in) in width, and 1,300 mm (51.2 in) in height, while the wheelbase measures 2,450 mm (96.5 in). Cargo capacity is listed at 132 litres (4.7 cu ft). The cabin is configured for 4 occupants. Listed curb weight is 1,515 kg (3,340 lb). That cargo volume is close to the peer average. The measurements are useful for comparison, although seat comfort, access and the shape of the load area still need to be judged in person.
The model range
The recorded line-up consists of Carrera S and Turbo. Across the range, the specifications span 450 hp to 580 hp and 2.8 s to 3.5 s, while listed starting prices run from $113,400-$170,800. Drivetrain, battery or engine choice, wheels and market equipment can all change the final figures, so the version table should be used when choosing between them.
In perspective
Compared with nearby petrol sports car models from the same period, the 2020 Porsche 911 Carrera S is strongest on price. That conclusion is drawn from the recorded specifications rather than a road test. A final choice should also account for local pricing, equipment, comfort and a test drive.
