Default Will the GT2 Be Hybrid?
Calling all cleaning ladies

Given the performance of the turbo s I think hybrid is looking likely. Anyone have some interesting info?

Doesn't that assume that there will even be a 992 GT2 RS?

Why would it not?
Maybe they will keep the 4wd for traction

I would be shocked if they didn't make a gt2

That isn't very gt2 though, but would allow for better 0 to 60 times etc.

I can't see how they will get much better performance over the 991 2rs without Hybrid assist.

While I would like to agree...I wouldn't put money on this one lol. Though it WOULD be the easiest to dial in power via boost of the platform, I think this one is destined to use the upcoming 992TTS general motor configuration which will include a NON plug in hybrid unit.

compare 991.1 or also 991.2 GT3 vs 992.1 GT3 and say that again!

first question about hybrid 911 should be: Are getting the 992.2 Carreras a hybrid system?

exactly. GT cars will likely be last to get hybrid, although I do expect 992.2 GT3 RS to have hybrid tech.

Like GT motors, I really hope any hybrid development is symbiotic with a GT3 Cup series. These are great cars, but there are more intense options around. What does it for me is the connection to motorsports. Porsche seems to have come back to it after a brief misstep with the 991.1.

the differences in performance across generations of RS'es has not (latterly) been about engine performance improvements, but has been all about aero and suspension...

clearly (from the Mule) the addition of 'active' rear aero is going to be a major feature, not too mention the addition of the multi-link front setup with a wider track etc...

I assumed that the significant increase in the width of the transmission tunnel on the 992 platform had something to do with a move to a hybrid design in the 992.2.

Don't understand the point. You have to look at relative change. From which baseline? Adding 30 hp on top of 500+ does not mean much.
