2020 PORSCHE 911 CARRERA: THE ENTRY-LEVEL COUPE AND CAB ARE HERE! Cash-in that coin jar and clip those coupons: The base-level 992 Carrera is here! If you've been keeping up with  Porsche , you remember  the 992 generation  launched in Carrera S and Carrera 4S trim—which blew us away  when we drove them —with the promise of an entry-level Carrera to come at a later date. Now, the entry-spec is ready for the 2020 model year, offered right off the bat in both coupe and cabriolet configurations. Like previous generations of 911, there doesn't appear to be a radical difference between the new Carrera and the higher-spec Carrera S aside from uprated performance hardware like brakes, tires, suspension, and exhaust. The new Carrera utilizes the same 3.0-liter twin-turbo flat-six found in the S, packing in this case 379 horsepower and 331 lb-ft of torque, decreases of 64 hp and 59 lb-ft from S spec, but up nine horses on the outgoing 991.2 Carrera.

AUDI RS Q8 LAUNCHES THIS YEAR, MORE RS SUVS TO COME We've seen  prototypes of the Audi RS Q8  running around, but apparently, this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to high-performance SUVs from the automaker. Speaking with  Autocar ,  Audi Sport managing director Oliver Hoffmann said there will be RS variants of almost every Audi SUV. "We have to stretch our portfolio and the SUV segment is the segment with the most growth," Hoffmann said. "There is high demand from our customers for high-performance SUVs," adding that the RS Q8 launches this year. This will be the first in a wave of RS-badged SUVs from Audi. Although we don't know what will be under the sheetmetal, it's possible the RS Q8 will inherit a version of the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8 found in the  Lamborghini Urus , where it makes 641 hp. While saying "nothing is official at this stage," the report from  Autocar  claims Audi Sport is said to be developing RS ver...

YOU NEED TO SEE HOW BEST DRIVER’S CAR 2019 IS HEATING UP The time has come again.  MotorTrend's  editors have chosen the highest-performing cars of the year and assembled them for a truly epic contest to determine which is the best driver's car. Starting from our Los Angeles headquarters, the team is road tripping north via byways and backroads. Their destination is the one and only WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, where—along with Randy Pobst—they'll take turns pushing the cars to their limits. In the end there can be only one winner, but until then, take our advice: you need to follow along on  MotorTrend's  social media channels to see how things are playing out. We'll be posting LIVE on  Instagram ,  Facebook , and  Twitter  with #MTBDC, and our updates must be seen to be believed. Check those out, and the dozen contenders vying for the title of Best Driver's Car 2019.

2020 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500HD FIRST TEST: BIG TRUCK IN THE LITTLE CITY Standing there in the  MotorTrend  garage, I felt like a matador in the ring, sizing up a fighting bull. Its gargantuan proportions and menacing visage struck me with intimidation. Yet like a trained fighter, I knew that with cunning and calculation I could overcome this brute. Returning its glare, I marched forward, stomped my foot on the running board, and climbed into the  Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD . For 2020 the  heavy-duty Silverado's capability increased —as did its size. Atop its 158.9-inch wheelbase is a body measuring 250.0 inches long, 81.9 inches wide, and 79.8 inches tall. It makes the  Silverado 1500 LT Trail Boss Z71 —231.7 inches long, 81.2 inches wide, and 78.4 inches tall on a 147.5-inch wheelbase—seem compact by comparison. Trailer hitch backed within an inch of the garage wall, its grille still jutted out into the aisle. Folding the power-operated side mirrors w...

Neither is a new technology, but General Motors is the first to combine them in this market and this segment. This is a big deal because the vibration that comes with shutting off half the cylinders is way harder to absorb or mask without a torque converter in the driveline.   VIEW 125 PHOTOS Torque converters are basically fluid couplings, and fluid is great at absorbing vibes. And even when they're locked for fuel savings, their housings can incorporate nifty pendulum mass dampers tuned to absorb torsional wiggles. All a multiplate clutch pack can do in a twin-clutch system is loosen its grip enough to allow a few 10s of rpm slippage, so that's what happens during the transition between modes. The team still wasn't quite satisfied with the quality of these transitions as of our development drive ride-along, though I couldn't detect four-cylinder operation from the passenger seat.
