The Porsche 911 has been polished to such a degree of near-total perfection that there is very little left to be improved. This makes the jobs of Porsche engineers unenviably challenging: Make the 911 better, but don't change everything fans love about it. For 2020, Porsche has made the 911 wider, to give it a better stance on the pavement. It is 45 mm wider in front (1.77 inches). At the rear, two-wheel drive Carrera models are now 44 mm wider (1.75 inches) to be the same width as the all-wheel-drive Carrera 4S cars already were in back. In place of the old 7-speed dual-clutch PDK automated transmission, the 2020 911 now has an 8-speed PDK gearbox. The first seven gears of the new transmission have lower ratios than before for quicker acceleration, plus the eighth gear, which is longer than the old car's seventh gear, for better fuel efficiency.
The extra power and revised gear translate to quicker acceleration. The new 911 Carrera S can sprint to 60 mph in just 3.3 seconds, while the all-wheel drive traction of the Carrera 4S lets it get there in 3.2 seconds. The Carrera 4S enjoys an enhanced all-wheel drive system for 2020. The clutch and differential for the front axle are now water-cooled for durability and the clutch discs are reinforced. These contribute to the front wheels' power being more precisely controlled, for better performance on the track, on curvy roads and when traversing wet or snowy roads. For the first time in a production street 911 (the GT2 RS track car has done it before), the 2020 911 has larger rear wheels than fronts, helping put the added power to the ground through correspondingly bigger tires. Porsche calls its electronic stability control system "PSM," which stands for Porsche Stability Management.
But in German engineer humor, it actually stands for "Please Save Me," because that is the effect of the computer system when the driver makes a mistake. For 2020, PSM includes a Wet driving mode that helps reign in the 911's power in case of over-exuberance on rainy days. The car has microphones in the wheel wells that detect the sound of wet pavement and it automatically switches to a more restrictive traction control and stability control program. It also recommends to the driver switching to Wet mode, which causes the car to shift more power to the front wheels and to slow throttle response, helping the driver avoid breaking traction accidentally. Those bigger wheels and tires provide more space for enlarged brake rotors and more grip for deceleration. The rotors have grown from 330mm to 350mm, front and rear. To provide optimum boost, the 911 now has an electric power brake booster rather than one that relies on engine vacuum, which varies, for more consistent response.
