Nope. Sounds like they launched it. "To get those times requires engaging launch control. It’s as easy as turning the drive mode **** on the steering wheel to Sport or Sport Plus. Stop the car. Hold the brake with your left foot and hold down the accelerator with the right until the engine revs to 5000 rpm. Look as far down the road as you can before releasing the brake, and whooaa. Keep it floored for 21.4 seconds and you’ll be going 180 mph."

Yes. They use LC but start the clock after the vehicle cross a foot.

Link to C&D protocol for this car?

Car and Driver - We're Making a Slight Change to Our Acceleration-Testing Procedure

elvisdoc

"In general, acceleration times for most cars will improve by about 0.1 second with the new procedure."

Ok we can call it 2.3 s. ​​​​​​​

CM991

​​​​​​​More like 2.4-2.5

elvisdoc

Ok maybe but with a tune of the 992.1, we be better. BTW,with the new hybrid setup, what are you predicting? With the results on the 992.2 GTS, can you really say it will be worse than 2.2 or better?

CM991

The only thing that can make the TTS faster while keeping Lambda 1 is a larger engine, bigger turbos and hybrid. I’d expect a 3.9-4.0L, 710-730HP and 0-60 in low 2s.

At the bottom of that C&D test page it literally says “Standing-start accel times omit 1-ft rollout of 0.2 sec.”

Article literally says .1 second difference. Other quotes .2 sec. You sound like .1-.2 sec matters to you? Relax sparky. That puts it basically tied with the Ferrari 296. And it's bulletproof.

I guess we all want the newest toys , I def do . But none of this is ground breaking new ability . I just sold my tuned 992 tts . Had 800 hp and was lighter then stock by 30-40 pounds due to me changing some pipes . Fast to the point where it was dangerous . And not engaging. Sold it and just got a brand new 24 gts awd manual . I’ll tune it and get another 100 hp which will take it to close to 600. That power is better distributed via an awd with rear axle steering . I test drove both 24 992 gts in rwd and awd with manual . Long story short , it’s the equivalent to what a turbo 992.2 turbo with manual would be . Ultimately/ we already have all this now . And truthfully, I like my tachometer . Not sure I would fall for the usual Porsche marketing and make the switch . We have it good now . I would like to read and see something that’s a bit more exciting . Though manthey is more aero then power related changes , they are actually cool and relatively diff over the years . This 992.1 vs 992.2 is a snooze fest in my humble opinion .

Agree we have it all now but a TTS is also AWD with rear wheel steering so not sure your point on that?

CanAutM3

It is actually printed in the test results: the 1-foot roll out took 0.2 seconds, which is excluded from all the acceleration times including the quoted 0-60mph. See last sentence in screenshot below:

Scorpio830

Hence I got a 992.1 gts in awd but manual . 2500$ tune will put on par with whatever the new so called manual turbo will be . I got really comfortable with the tts in awd and ras. Would not want 600hp in manual without it .

elvisdoc

Yea I saw the fine print but thanks. Like I said, that changes the C&D time to 2.4 seconds 0-60. Not bad and still right there with the Ferrari with only ICE. Not gonna quibble over .2 seconds.
