I don't have any real info, but willing to speculate that the lifespan of the current 6spd manual must be pretty limited. If the GT3 becomes hybrid or turbocharged, then I think the torque limit of the current gearbox will be easily exceeded (I think its torque limit is probably lower than the 7spd manual used in the Carrera models and Sport Classic (the torque in this model was dramatically reduced to even work with the 7M). I am not aware of any hybrid nor EV that uses a manual either, but that could be an interesting niche at some point in the future...

It seems the 992.2 will be unveiled in December 2024. This is actually sooner than I expected to be honest. I guess this is the winged version and I have no info at all if there is any hybrid assistance added to the mix.
If it ICE only the there is a high % that this is the last ICE only GT3 911 to be released.

Regarding the 994 being hybrid, I’ll take that bet.

Not saying it will happen, just saying that it wouldn't be unprecedented.

A few articles popped today about the 992.2 writ large:

It appears change (good or bad depending on your perspective) is afoot...
Cheers.

I think the 992.2 GT3 will remain NA and non-hybrid. The 992.2 3RS, and especially the 2RS, will need a significant power increase. The 2RS can get there with turbos. The 3RS may need some electric boost.
