Funny thing that as F1 moves away from MGU-H as the tech is deemed "too complicated" and "not road relevant", Porsche actually went for it instead of focusing on brake regeneration.

A potential negative is that this will probably add to the already pretty tame engine sound on the turbocharged engines.

I'm sure it will grow on me, but I'm not feeling those vents.

With this piece of the puzzle in place, it seems possible that we might see:

• A 992.2 Turbo S with twin-turbo hybrid system and Active Ride (made possible by the 400V battery system). Maybe keeping the 3.8L engine?
• A 992.2 GT2 RS using the base 992.1 GT3 RS platform as a starting point, and the Active Ride + engine/hybrid system used in the 992.2 Turbo S

ipse dixit

We may never see a 992 generation GT2 RS.

I didn't notice that.....that is huge.

I was disappointed that this new clean-sheet engine is integrated dry (wet) sump. Since the GT3 was rumored to eventually transition to some form of this engine, I was hoping it was a true dry sump (or maybe it’s modular and external tank can be added along with traditional GT3 features (titanium conrods, ITB’s, etc.))

Then why is it only 1mph faster with 60hp more?

Maybe the vertical air slats have to open at Vmax for cooling and that increases drag dramatically...

I... like it. The front gills are functional active aero so I can't hate it. Electrifying the turbo is a great idea. The MAJOR issue is no manual. For me at least.

992.2 gt3
things we can expect
1) full digital dash
2) start engine button
3) higher price than .1

I would bet on the above, any other conclusions from todays release of 992.2?

What makes you believe that?

ipse dixit

Because it's about 110 lbs (or 50 kg) heavier?

PTS

Anyone else a little surprised on the weight gain? 50kg (110 lbs) is a ton of weight on a 3500 lb car

ipse dixit

Just from whispers I've been hearing.

And not just recently, but for the past year or so.

This is why I am seriously contemplating a 991 GT2 RS
