The way things are going, a 50/50 weight distribution 911 may be sooner than later

I may have misread the configurator .
is full leather interior standard now??

So what’s the current ADM for a 992.2 GT3?

Yes it is 400V.

GT3 is NA and no hybrid.

Or just using the GTS 3.6L and two BW eturbos. Should be good enough for 700+bhp.

Seems that, with equal tires, 992.1 GT3 is still faster around the 'ring than the 992.2 GTS.

So all Porsche really needs to do with the 992.2 GT3 is increase the hp by a nominal amount and improve the suspension by using dampers and ***** similar to the 992.1 3RS.

Could slightly increase the aero also, but I don't think the GT3 will get fender vents or NACA ducts. Could give it some active aero, but that will add some weight.

^ maybe not fender vents, but it will now have working vents!!

In the US, does the seating configuration have any effect on insurance?
I seem to remember many years ago that a 911 insurance was much lower because even though it was a 2 door it was a 4 seater.
So does having the 911 in a 2 door 2 seat configuration insure differently than a 2 door 4 seat?

Why is the PDK hybrid for turbo models only? There is a motor generator inside the PDK, not just the turbo.

I think this is bad news for future GT3s good news for the current GT3 owners. For the new GT3 variants, if they want to keep them NA only, there is a lot more work to be done than before. The PDK needs to change, all the accessory drives are now 400V according to the car and driver article.

Based on this, the next gen GT3 is probably a NA hybrid. They will probably increase the displacement of this engine slightly, but keep the electric generator / motor inside the PDK.

No more manual on 992, I'll wager the next GT3 is NA PDK Hybrid only too.

Going to be a lot of work for the GT deparment to change this architexture to a NA only. I guess we will find out how truly profitable the GT platform is.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see a NA 4.2 send off.

Heard a rumor that there will be an initial limited run of NA GT3s followed by a hybridized model.

V999

I heard a rumor that there will only be 911 manual GT3s followed by only PDK GT3s.

Yes, I made that crap up. If I had to guess, every .2 GT3 and 3RS built will be NA and they will be plentiful. But Porsche will also incorporate some of the ADM dealerships have been charging into the MSRP while making a few options standard and maybe bumping up the HP/Torque numbers slightly.

Porsche can read it's customer base quite well and there's no logic (that I can see) to them limiting their profits by forcing something they know the GT crowd doesn't want.

Would PAG make more money by selling manual GT3s or by taking it away then pumping out special NA models with three pedals?
