Lambo revs above and lacks high pitch - if someone wants to toss a 20k exhaust any car can have a higher pitch.
Modifying the acoustical design - but a lot depends on firing order engine design etc.
I'd lean - performance and quality before sounds - high pitch is nice too.

The yellow one was already on 992.1 mules…. so anything it is … it’s not an hybrid sticker : )

It's not for every car. It's only if you want to drive into a low emission zone. Your car has to comply with the new regulations.

So (almost) every car has it since better to have if an emission zone comes ahead.

Traveling frequently to Germany, haven't seen a car without it.

They have green, yellow and red. One of them on the car.

That's SSR performance test car, unrelated to .2 launch

maybe it’s where you are going. Most cars don’t comply so won’t have the sticker. Newer cars do. Except of course my 2025 718 GTS I was driving around with. lol

I'm looking forward to their upcoming "Manthey-like" aero kit.

Doesn't matter. We will not move closer with these details if it is a hybrid car or not. Lol.

At this level of performance, minor increases don't mean much because virtually nobody is getting everything out of the car anyway. I'd rather have a lighter, less expensive car if the differences will be similar to the .1 to .2 GT3.

Sure. But for those, who could not get a .1 or earlier models, it is a chance to finally get a new, individually personalized GT car.

This, exactly. I grabbed my .1 precisely because I expected that the .2 will be a lot more expensive, almost surely heavier, and won’t have a performance improvement that matters much for my use of the car. I’m already one of the fastest cars in a top run group with the car completely stock and leaving a good bit on the table with my driving.

I really can't see them lowering the gearing further. The 992RS and 718RS already have traded some Vmax for acceleration. Seems like they're at the limit there (particularly for the purposes of Norschleife laps and even more certainly if they've reduced aero drag).
