Nobody said “a manual” can’t handle the power (the limit is actually torque, not power), but there is no current manual gearbox in the inventory that mates to the new generation of engines that has a high enough limit.

GTS440

Anyone care to elaborate on what this might be?

Minus the super special editions on the list- it doesn’t seem that far fetched. I also believe that Porsche are constantly evaluating their line up and aren’t afraid to adjust. Wouldn’t be unreasonable for them to include / exclude certain models from this “current” plan.

No mention of 992.2 GT3 RS eTurbo?

I'm looking forward to the GT2RS Targa Ice Racer edition which will have automatic tire spikes to deploy when ice racing.

We are tired of the same ingredients different order of mixture in our food Porsche. None of these are “special”. Same old. You have to build a special car or two properly. Taking RWS off or lighter flywheel isnt special. Hope you guys don’t suddenly remove PASM and then call that special. Before you know it we’ll have a car without double wishbone homage to 991.2 GT3 and call that special.

I hope you guys fine a way to make that laggy tachometer perform properly. You can study Corvette’s Z06 dash or Mclaren 750S to see how a proper digital dash performs. Your current dash feels like it came from a BMW 5 series 10 years ago. There is no way it wont be annoying with the ITB flat6 NA engine.

We dont want to hear “we had to kill the NA engine because dash couldnt keep up with its low inertia”. Just saying, sometimes you guys say the craziest things.

I think I need to call up Stuttgart and have them up my kool aid dose, seems like its not having the same effect anymore!

The company’s broader direction is concerning. VW board of directors need to stay out of Porsche’s business, at least in 911 and Cayman. I am extremely concerned that in a body style or two, the car will be unrecognizeable (not its body shape). I still cannot believe they have approved that start stop button and the laggy dash. Its clear AP’s team doesnt control the broader company direction. If it was up to them, things would have been different.

Things didnt quite work out at Boeing when engineers were driven out of the senior roles and were replaced with marketing/economics major executives.

BMW has done a similar shift back in 2010. It was when their head of the M/// division (Albert something) got frustrated and quit after 23 years I realized company was taken over and the end result is here with massive screens and plastic everywhere and no more bespoke M engines.

Porsche might be doing this act more elegantly and behind the scenes but they are doing it nevertheless. I think if enough people complain, they might listen (i.e manual transmission reversal of 991 gen).

'Special' is all subjective and relative.

And more modern / digital isn't always better... many examples to choose from... and again it's subjective / personal

i hate digitilization. So to me some specials would be:

- 4.2 liter
- shorter gears
- back seats in a GT3 engine
- keep analog tach
- gt3rs with a hybrid but no turbos
- a proper gt2 with a manual transmission, power of current ice tts, rwd only (like 997 GT2)

I think a GT3 with backseats, shorter gears would sell like hotcakes. Keep the lwfw for the speedster edition.

ipse dixit

Your information is wrong, and outdated.

It's going to be a GT2 RS Dakar Cabriolet.

Come on, it's easy with Porsche. Slap a numbered plate on the car and it's automatically special, duh.

This is why they're developing the full gorilla glass upper section- so you can see the bottom of your spare fuel jugs whilst jumping dunes. watercooling the a-pillars and the koenigsegg manual gated sequential will make the GT2RS Dakar Cab the best way to see Dubai's Dunes
