Yeah there's no way they're going back to power take off hydraulics. That ship has (fortunately) sailed.

it would be great if the GTS had both the GT3 steering and PDK s/w ...

I'm begining to be a little skeptical about this report, it all stems from one journalist at motortrend, no one else is leaping on this badnwagon yet ...

taking a wait and see approach... is it November yet?

Too late for you now,you've already booked your tickets.

sunk!

I wonder what if anything the new exhaust brings to the party?

Larry Cable

it will be worth going regardless ... but I am hopeful the GTS will be there.

Hopefully it's lighter. The side mufflers if nothing else is an excellent opportunity to mine some weight savings.

that I think would be a 1st for Porsche! I'm guessing its probably something as dull as a redesign for emissions compliance.

Next 911 platform will accommodate batteries and electric motor(s) for the hybrid variant, so it can't be the same as the 991 one.

Sadly, they neglected to ask him about the 911….

Yes I think the GTS will get the GT3 RWS and also the X51 as standard! I would love to see the PDK from the GT3 also added in the GTS that would be so sweet!!!

A quick update with pics that are showing a ready for production mule. You can see more details in these pics.

" These latest spy shots of the refreshed Porsche 911, wearing gray metallic instead of the prototypes standard black hue, prove the car has reached its pre-production phase. The last we heard, Porsche was planning to reveal the 911 facelift at the LA Auto Show in November, and these images support that rumor. The latest test mule also reveals some new styling details, including new door handles and a more classic-looking grille. The updated 911 will also receive a new front bumper with active air ducts and a new taillight design.

However, instead of carrying the code 991.2, a recent report suggested Porsche would codename the refreshed 911 the 992. The implication is that Porsche will be making a significant change to the stock Carrera, which some believe to be a move to turbocharged powerplants.

Expect more details to emerge in the coming weeks. "

I think this is a good point. But...918 sales have been a low point and PCA magazine just reported that ZEV's and hybrid sales have fallen off and are headed for nowhere??.
