Default 2020 GT3 Breaks Down --> is it from hybrid drivetrain?

https://www.carscoops.com/2019/07/20...-ring-session/

When was the last time an N/A GT car broke down on side of track?
I bet 992 GT3 has some form of KERS or hybrid drivetrain and got into an electric gremlin...

Thoughts???

PS: C8 driving past... ironic and sad...

I’ll bet anyone a $100 that the 992.1 GT3 is not a hybrid.

Love the duct tape “Exclusive Manufaktur” option, hope it makes it to the regular production at a somewhat reasonable option price.

No way this is a turbo or hybrid.
No way it is coming out in Frankfurt either.
520 HP, 991.2 RS engine.
992 RS may go Turbo.

I have no inside info, just an educated guess.

You asked, OP.

It's going to have N/A engine 520hp with ITB aber it vil haf mild KERS/Hybrid inside the 8-speed PDK vileleicht 60-80HP to kounterakt the newly acquired heft und the RS will have a more aggressive setup...No turbo... (and no I have no inside info, just gut fühlung)....

If that is the case, then I will need to change my guess in another thread on the base price from 151k to 165k+

The great thing about these photos is that they confirm what I was told 3 months ago that the 992 GT3 would do away with the nubbin and re-introduce a taller shift to allow you change gears manually.

The car taking a crap is a good thing so they can figure out what the issue is. I think the 992.1 will be pretty awesome.

They need to determine the operating window and then decide if it sufficient. If not improve the failed part/parts.
