Looking forward to seeing who wins the 2020 drivers car of the year award. Hoping the TTS can pull it off this year following last years MY20 992 C2S winner. Though I have a suspicion MT is biased towards the C8 this year. Who do you think will win?

Wild guess from the photos: the C8 is the winner and the TTS is in second place.

Good guess. The pictures are often times a good indicator on how it plays out.

The field is a lot smaller this year too. Not sure why that is?

Maybe the GT4 pulls it off. It’s the only car with a MT.

C8, because it hasn't made it since it's introduction.

Well hopefully since it won MotorTrend COTY. It won’t double up as DCOTY

Ferrari won it in 2017.


Too bad we don't get the Yaris stateside.

They also mentioned that they suspected that the 488 GTB test vehicle they had was a ringer, with the 488 being faster 0-60 and faster around Laguna Seca than the F8.

So far we have:
- 1:40.27 Cayenne Turbo S
- 1:36.14 Cayman GT4
- 1:33.84 GT500
- 1:32.85 Huracan
- 1:32.27 F8 Tributo

The C8 and 992TT-S to be released tomorrow. Anyone dare to guess which will be faster

Still the C8 and 992TT-S to go...
Wondering aloud if the GT4 could beat the F8's lap time with a Rick DeMans 4.5L engine and gearing upgrade.
I suspect it would be close....
