Sorry to ask a question that I’m sure has been asked before … but can someone quickly tell me what the grey launch color is?

 

Ice Gray Metallic

 

Thank you … I thought so as well but it looked so flat in pics/vids that I wasn’t sure.

 

Yeah I don't think porsche has any good grey in the lineup. Agate looks nice under sunlight but very muted otherwise. Mercedes has a colour called Selenite Grey that I think is exceptional

 

That's a nice grey:

 

indeed

looks like Stone Grey

 

it's Alex Grey Z58

The Arctic gray color on the 992 RS is too blue for me. But I'm also looking for a metallic color I think. Honestly I might just end up with GT silver. The carWow video uses the GT silver car and I think it looks pretty good with the contrasted decals and black parts.

I was thinking about just getting it in black as well, not sure how the carbon would look against a black car. Of course not sure how all the accents and different shapes of the car would look if it was all black. I like to see the curves.

 

992.2 GT3 mules with the same 4.0 NA engine are real.

992.2 GT3 RS will be the new GT2RS (i guess)
the question is will it be:
- NA+hybrid
- turbo
- turbo+hybrid




from user 720s from pff.de about e-turbos:

The Borg Warner E - Turbos come from Porsche. Borg Warner is Porsche's main supplier.
In 2023, they were announced for a series vehicle for the first time after an order from a "European OEM".
They only make sense with hybrid and 48 V technology. The advantage is that, as in Formula 1, excess exhaust gas energy can be used for recuperation. High recuperation rates enable a small battery. That's the direction at Porsche. So no plugin. The new e-turbocharger has great advantages in terms of emissions, since exhaust gas recirculation and the Miller process are favoured, the e-motor can also brake the turbine shaft and increase exhaust back pressure for better emissions.
It can also be very good if you have the issue of "weight" under control.

A high-speed biturbo with a displacement of 3.0 l and a speed limit of 8500 rpm such as the 296 GTB or McLaren Artura in conjunction with a hybrid drives quite emotionally with a tremendous punch.

If Porsche combines something like this with a perfect chassis and aerodynamics, which Porsche can do, it becomes extremely fast.

as long as they can´t produce the numbers which they would like.

i guess they will NOT bring a 992.2 GT3 RS with NA+hybrid (or just a 1500 units special run)
more likely they bring only a 992.2 GT2 RS (or based on the stronger name a 992.2 GT3 RS) with turbo+hybrid - to compete against the coming McL 750s and Artura LT and 296GTB"VersionSpeciale" - for +30% MSRP on top of the 992.1 GT3RS

 

If the 992.2 GT3 mules do still use the 4.0L engine, I wonder what exactly they will use to promote/sell that car over the 992.1 GT3?

They already used a new suspension and jump in aero with the swan neck wing on the 992.1 GT3. They're not going to add to the 992 GT3 anything radical like the DLS and single radiator.

I know Porsche is the master of evolution not revolution, but I just don't see how they can just add 5hp to the 992.2 GT3, plus a touch more aero and call it a day?

 

The demand is so high and the car market so poor of pure car like the GT3 that they could sell the car the way you described to new customers that could not buy the 992.1

 

Particularly true if the .2 RS speculation above is accurate.

Updated aero package a la 991.1 -> .2. 992.1 RS engine. Throw in a set of lightweight wheels, maybe a few other lightweighting efforts. Continued manual option. More orders than they'll be able to produce.

 

Just add some previous options as standard and slight HP bump. Boom! 992.2 GT3 GTS

 

I am expecting and hoping for the 4.2L for the 992.2 GT3. But I would probably make the upgrade for the Euro Delivery and fresh warranty alone (assuming the economics hold up). I do expect the .2 GT3 to adopt a few tricks learned in the RS. Maybe the steering wheel with 4 rotary dials to control the Compression, Rebound, and LSD. Maybe the multi-adjustable ESC and TC. Maybe more?

Let's see what engine comes with the 911ST.
