No more suspense: our 2020 Porsche 911 Carrera S (992 generation) test car hit 60 mph in 3.0 seconds flat and tripped the quarter-mile lights in 11.3 seconds at 125 mph. Equipped with Porsche’s standard eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (a soon-to-be-available seven-speed manual will be optional), the 911 is capable of launch-control starts that’ll leave even the most jaded test driver with the giggles.
Stopping is done by six-piston calipers in front gripping the 992’s carbon-ceramic brake rotors, an $8970 option, while four-piston calipers do the squeezing in back. Pirelli P Zero PZ4 tires halt the action from 70 mph in a short 140 feet, which is, again, about the same number as the GTS returned.
Surface Transforms plc (LON:SCE) are experts in the development and production of carbon-ceramic materials and the UK’s only manufacturer of carbon-ceramic brakes for automotive use.Koenigsegg nominated SCE as a tier one supplier on their Jesko car.
