I think someone on RL called it months ago with the same reasoning. Its still surprising to hear it from an executive, but I was more surprised by the existence of the word fettled.

Hybrid+NA engine would be amazing if the weight is not too terrible.

Hybrid power seems inevitable at some point (the reason they have made space in the new 8spd PDK). Just not sure when. Since weight of the new Carrera is already up about 125 pounds over 991 without Hybrid, I can't imagine that a Hybrid 992 GT car won't be quite heavy...

A 918 inspired 911 that stays close to 3500 lbs with 600hp could be quite good.

I think a NA 550hp engine is doable on the 992 GT3. Throw in some active aero and an 8 speed PDK, with a slew of other tweaks, a sub 7 second Ring time, and everyone is lining up. Porsche are masters at separating us from our money.

Speaking of 3,500 lbs and 600hp, the new BMW M2 Competition with an E85 tune can get us there under $60k (with Manual). I'm actually considering one for ED (probably won't pull trigger)...

That's a complete non-statement. "We'll stick with it as long as possible". So if they determine it's not possible to stick with it for the 992, too bad. This article doesn't really say anything.

I'm sure I'm in the minority, but I'm not solely a GT3 owner simply because the car is NA. I hope it goes turbo so that the car will be easier to get for everyone, less desirable and less flippable
Hated the games and how hard the 991 GT cars were to get for non-VIPs across the board, if it has to go turbo so be it I have faith in the elves at Weissach
