Porsche 911
The 911’s unmistakable silhouette and rear-engine layout remain
in the 2020 redesign. Both rear- or all-wheel drive are available. A
turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine and 8-speed dual-clutch
automatic transmission are standard; a manual transmission will be
available at a later date. Infotainment updates include a 10.9-inch
touch screen with Apple CarPlay compatibility. Forward collision
warning and automatic emergency braking are standard. Adaptive
cruise control with stop-and-go traffic capability is optional.
Previously tested 911s were quick, with sublime handling. The ride
wasn’t particularly taxing on long trips, thanks to its relatively supple
ride and subdued noise levels. Interiors were also beautifully crafted,
but the numerous buttons and switches could be daunting at first.

Porsche 718 Cayman
Porsche’s coupe version of the 718 Boxster offers 2.0- and 2.5-liter
turbocharged four-cylinder engines. Both the base and S versions
of the Cayman are offered with a choice of a six-speed manual or a
seven-speed automatic transmission. The switch to the turbo four-
cylinder means the classic Porsche six-cylinder sound is gone, but
power is more readily available. Handling remains superb, with
immediate response from the communicative steering and almost
no body lean, making the Porsche fun to drive. The very firm ride is
not overly punishing for a sports car. The front trunk and hatchback
provide a surprising amount of storage space. A GT4 with a 414-hp,
4.0-liter six-cylinder engine is new for 2020.
