Get back to base with the 2020 Porsche 911 Carrera

With 379 horsepower on tap, it's quite the bargain over the hi-po S models.

From there, he moved to the editorial side, penning several written features in Total 911 Magazine before becoming a full-time auto writer, first for a local Chicago outlet and then for CNET Cars.

Both cars rock a 3.0-liter twin-turbo H6 that produces 379 horsepower and 331 pound-feet of torque, improvements of 9 and 0, respectively, over the outgoing generation.

An eight-speed dual-clutch transmission is standard, but if you're waiting for a manual, Porsche said it'll have more details on its stick shifts in the future.

Rear-wheel drive is standard, and there will likely be a base Carrera 4 with all-wheel drive at some point in the future.

The coupe will hit 60 miles per hour in 4.0 seconds, and while the convertible takes 4.2 seconds, both models can shave 0.2 seconds off that time by equipping the optional Sport Chrono Package.
