Just not a fan of the 992's overall look. The door handles, the huge spoiler, the vertical grill with the wart of a stop light in the middle, the more squared overall shape of the car, the digital gauges, etc. NA or turbo, it doesn't matter, I'm holding on to my 991.1 GTS and 991.2 GT3T for as long as I can.

Not digging the spoiler but I do really like the wide front fender flares.

What's the ADM on these 992 GT3s?

992 rendering looks a like a hybrid between 991 + panamera (back)

Why make it so obvious the engine is NOT a turbo? Or is this some other, non-GT3? Maybe this would be a next gen 911T? Or GTS? Quite a mystery...

I can’t belive NA is over with Porsche! Could this possibly be the case when so many people on Rennlist were sure NA was staying for the 992.

Im pretty sure this is the same car I saw on the ring a couple of months ago. 100% turbo. I suspect its more likely a GTS than a TT or new GT3.

Video here:

What you saw was probably this one.
The above is most definitely a NA with the center exhaust.

Why do you say center exhaust = NA?

Sports exhaust on a 991.2 Carrera is center?

You can get centerlocks on a GTS.

They're trying to push more people to that in-between land closer to Turbo money.

Either way, GTS or GT3 touring, I think it looks promising.

The car in the videos sure sound like they're turbocharged.

No...the car in your video has a rear wiper.

It's not about the exhaust position. It's about the venting on the lower rear bumper. Or lack of it.

But looking closer on the rear bumpers, there are some taped areas which could be something akin to the intercooler outlets of the 991.2 T/C Carreras.
