The new Type 992 2020 Porsche 911 will have the wider body, previously used only on the Turbo and above models, as standard throughout the range.

The RWD 911 Carrera S needs 3.7s for 0-100km/h, and the AWD 911 Carrera 4S just 3.6s. The optional Sport Chrono package cuts the 0-100km/h down by a further 0.2s.
