2020 Porsche 911 Carrera S Needs 10 Seconds To Hit 124 MPH

It takes 3 seconds to go from 0 to 60 mph (100 km/h) or about half a second longer than the official figures.

There are many ways to enjoy a Porsche 911 at a race track like the Circuit de Valencia, Spain. One way is to put the coupe through an acceleration test. The new 992 model in Carrera S is not your average 911. Porsche claims the car takes three and a quarter seconds to reach 62 MPH (100 km/h) when equipped with the optional Sport Chrono Package. But, real-world performance proves it is much faster.

Motorsport Magazine was able to test the car’s acceleration (with launch control activated), and the car completed the sprint in just three seconds. Keep in mind that this is the rear-wheel drive variant. The all-paw 4S should run faster by about tenths of a second, based on Porsche official numbers.

2020 Porsche 911 Carrera S Needs 10 Seconds To Hit 124 MPH

We are amazed at the acceleration to 62 MPH (100 km/h) and the subsequent changes. The Carrera S takes only 7 seconds to double its velocity. It takes only 10 seconds to sprint from a standstill at 124 mph (200 km/h). The Carrera S is one of the less powerful models in the 992 range. You can only imagine the power of the Turbo and the all-conquering Turbo S.

How is the Carrera S even so fast? The new eight-speed PDK transmission is adapted from the Pantamera. It also benefits from an improved engine that promises less turbo lag. Based on the technical data sheet for the 991.2 Carrera S, we can see how Porsche managed to trim 0.9s from the corresponding 992.
