2020 Porsche 911 Carrera S Track Test

How new is new? It’s actually a constant debate around the car biz, and our shop, when it comes to Porsche’s iconic 911. Over 55-years and seven generations, each “new” 911 always seems to be refined, more than reborn. And here we are with the eighth gen 911 ready for the road. So, is it just another notch upward, or has the world’s quintessential sports car achieved a new level of “new”.

This guy has had the best imaginable life, testing and reviewing cars for 40 years. It doesn't get better than that.

I absolutely love John Davis. I grew up watching him...but please fire his makeup person.
I absolutely love this Porsche too!

[chickenkrikets]

Happy to see him still kicking! I grew up with him telling me about my dream cars lol

[oliverroo]

This video is fitting since both the 911 and John Davis are timeless icons

thank you motorweek, the only non bias source we can count on for car reviews, you are not beholden to stockholders, magazine editors or anyone really, and your enthusiasm for this amazing Porsche really shows.

I love how the spoiler mimics the look of the old whale tail from the turbos.

Did anybody else notice the swastika on the center caps when in motion? 1:38

When I see a video with John Davis in the thumbnail, I click on and watch!!!! Grateful John is still making videos!!!! 👍

3.0 secs to 60mph in a middle-of-that-range car with 2WD is damned impressive!

I started watching MotorWeek, back in the early 1990's. I tip my hat to John Davis for his endless workmanship, reviewing generations of automobiles for the benefit of us all.

-Thank you John

Damn thats a lot of spray tan and hair dye

[ClaytonYatescarenthusiast]

Wonder if John Davis knows how loved he is?

[erikhertzer]

I remember when I was in high school in 1979 the 911 only had 172 hp...gorgeous body work on the 2020, but wish the rear spoiler was more like the Panamera’s...the current spoiler looks as if someone left a trunk lid open.

I can't stop thinking about the color orange

[samlc]

Why is John Davis orange? Someone call the police.

[raymedrano]

I've been watching this show since I was in middle school ❤️❤️❤️. I'm 38 years old now and my love of cars has grew as well.

Great 911S with almost 450hp wow. My lighter weight ‘99 911 had 300hp and was amazing — but this thing’s a monster and really nice looking.

Motorweek and John Davis are american icons....the 992 is cool too...looks good in bright red..but oricey all the same

[FlexWheelernd]

I have watched John Davis on Motor Week on PBS since I was in elementary school in the mid-80's. But what the heck is with the orange spray tan?! I nearly choked on my saliva!

[CeeStyleDj]

Damn...3.0 0-60 even with all that slippage. Imagine if it held tight with drag radials?! 2.7 perhaps?? Insane...
