The Porsche 911 has long been one of the most celebrated sports cars on the planet, with unmistakable styling and ethereal performance. The latest generation capitalizes on those characteristics thanks to evolutionary improvements that illustrate Porsche's eternal commitment to driver engagement. The new-for-2020 911 is currently offered as a coupe and convertible (Cabriolet), and a targa body style is eventually expected to join them. Every model boasts a terrific twin-turbo six-cylinder engine that comes in two potencies and pairs with an excellent automatic or manual transmission. Both rear- or all-wheel drive are available, and while the latter setup is quicker and more capable in inclement weather conditions, every model transitions from fiercely athletic to astoundingly graceful at a moment's notice. Those traits and the 2020 911's surprisingly practical qualities ensure that its legendary status is alive and well.
For 2020, Porsche introduces an all-new 911 generation—codenamed 992—that features a handsomely evolved design and meticulously engineered mechanicals. The redesign also institutes enhanced chassis tuning, more powerful engines, and loads of the latest technology. The 640-hp Porsche 911 Turbo S, which we review separately, will up the lineup's firepower even more when it goes on sale for 2021.
Engine, Transmission, and Performance: The F80 is powered by a plug-in-hybrid powertrain that makes an incredible 1184 horsepower and features technology gleaned from Ferrari's F1 racing team. A mid-mounted twin-turbo 3.0-liter V-6 engine is assisted by three electric motors to hit that output number, and acceleration should be nothing short of explosive. With two of the electric motors driving the front wheels, the F80 is also all-wheel drive. An eight-speed dual-clutch automatic is standard, as is an active suspension system that uses four 48-volt electric motors to control damper stiffness at all four corners. When we get a chance to drive the F80, we will update this story with driving impressions and instrumented test results.
0–60-MPH Times: Ferrari claims some impressive acceleration numbers for its new flagship model. The company says 62 mph arrives in as little as 2.2 seconds and 124 mph happens in as little as 5.8.
| Acceleration : | 0-60mph: 2,2 secs | 0-124mph: 5,8 secs |
| Dry Weight : | 3362,04lbs |
| Top Speed : | 217mph |
| Power-to-Weight Ratio : | 787PS/tonne |
| Electric-Only Range : | Not applicable (performance-focused hybrid system) |
| Battery Capacity : | 2.28 kWh |
| Platform : | Ferrari Architecture |
| Suspension : | Double wishbone (front & rear) with active suspension |
| Active Aerodynamic System : | Front S-Duct and active rear wing |
| Brakes : | Carbon-ceramic discs with 6-piston front and 4-piston rear calipers |
Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG: Ferari says fuel economy is TBD. We’ll update this story when those figures come in.
Interior, Comfort, and Cargo: While there are two seats inside the F80's cabin, the best seat in the house is obviously reserved for the driver. From the small, flat-sided steering wheel to the relative lack of digital display screens, the F80 is set up to be a driver's car first and all else second. In fact, rather than calling the F80 a two-seater, Ferrari refers to it as a 1+ in its press materials. Underscoring the driver-centric design, the F80 features a bright red driver's seat, while the passenger's seat—which is not adjustable and is little more than padding affixed to the car's carbon-fiber tub—is covered in black upholstery, receding to the background in photos.

Infotainment and Connectivity: There's no infotainment display inside the F80's cabin, at least not in the traditional sense. A digital gauge cluster is the primary display for most everything inside the car and it's operated via steering wheel buttons. A secondary, smaller display on the center console exists merely for climate controls. We don't have all the details on the F80's connectivity features, but don't expect Wi-Fi, a voice assistant, or in-dash gaming features.
