I wonder if they'll announce the new Ring time when they announce the car (specs and pics). That is often the case and then pricing usually follows after...

I was wondering the same, but when the TTS announced; it doesn’t look like they had a Ring time for it.

Ring times tend to be more integral to marketing a GT car than Turbo, so it could happen.

I’d tend to agree with that but they marketed the ring time on the 992S. So I really thought the top-of-the-line trim would have gotten something.

Pretty sure they want the first number to be a "6", but probably close to your guess.

Well, the new face-lifted Panamera is rumored to have lapped the 'Ring in 7:11.

On street tires? Is that the special one with over 800hp?

Dunno.
All just rumors at this point.
If a Taycan Turbo (non-S) can do a 7:42, imagine what a Turbo S can do, then extrapolate that to a car that is about 500 lbs lighter can do

AFAIK, they have not done an official, audited ring time for the GT3 yet.
