Sorry i edited my previous message. I think they wouldn't camouflage(in this case fully cover) air intakes as its significant and has big impact.

CM991

You don’t know the impact or how significant the side vents can be on this mile. We don’t have sufficient details to make that assessment. This is a non issue. SportClassic has no side vents. Same engine. No issues.

iso87

Agreed. For that reason I wouldn't rule out that the Touring package on a Turbo could mean no side vents.

So coming back to the facts, the people that do know:

Is this coming as a convertible?

Is there a PDK option?




P.S. Please do not discuss aboyt the PDK question. Let’s find the facts first and then let’s blame porsche for the “bad decisions”

CM991

You are welcomed to think that 👍

The rest of us will continue to try to validate more details with less conjecture.

I do not have any additional info, but would like to point out a couple of elements:

- the SC mules were tested without the side vents from the beginning

- this 992.2 mule would be different from the 992.1 turbo and from the SC as it would couple the absense of the side vents with different exhaust vents in the lower bumper for the intercooler ... this looks as a potential reason for functional testing of this configuration




This combination looks new to me.

Maybe this is a just a version of a "wide body" Carrera as we've seen in the past...

cebe

It is my understanding that starting with the 992.1 all carreras are wide-bodies as Porsche eliminated the "slim" base carrera body with a single unified chassis to the width of the carrera 4 body.
Obviously the turbo wide-body is wider still.
Anyhow the remark that it may be a wide "turbo-look" estetic package is interesting.

Just read on Reddit the following potential linup, it makes some sense to me:

992.2 Turbo 3.6 twin e turbo + e motor 640 PS (585 gas + 55 e motor) RWD + manual option; presentation 1/2025

992.2 Turbo S 3.6 twin e turbo + e motor 710 PS (655 gas + 55 e motor) AWD + PDK only presentation 1/2025

I would add that 655 hp from the ICE sounds a lot to me for a lambda 1 compliant unit, I see the turbo or turbo S getting a 3.8 liter unit.

Just pure speculation.

CM991

The TTS aligns with what I’ve heard/read as well. The Turbo seems a bit overstated.

GT3ZZZ

No manual with the e-motor (see 992.2 GTS)

992.2 turbo won't have the e-motor, just the e-turbos.

CM991

This is the correct speculation. There’s also ICE-only rumors.

GT3ZZZ

Might well be correct. Not sure it's worth the battery just to power the e-turbos. All or nothing?

cavemanmoore

Would ICE only be subject to lambda 1 requirements?

Schn3ll

I think it would be worth it. The battery would power 2 e-turbos instead of 1 of the GTS.

And we know the Turbo S is going to be hybrid, so it would be weird to position the base Turbo as non-hybrid all together.

From the consumer standpoint, there would be a weird gap in the assortment between GTS and Turbo S with no hybrid. So the Turbo could be seen as “inferior” to some without any hybridization (not to us nut jobs on the forums mind you).

I think they do the dual eTurbo for the base Turbo, as it also provides a meaningful upgrade vs. .1 cars. Gotta give people a reason to upgrade (other than just manual), and this could be a way to tell Sport Classic owners “look, yours is the only ICE manual 992 Turbo”
