So given that the current price on Porsche’s website for a coup starts at around $230,000 and the cab starts at $243,000, what do you think the 992.2 will end up costing. Starting price, of course not with options. I’m assuming it’s going to be a big jump because of the additional technology of the hybrid system.
any thoughts?

My guess is coupe $260,000 and cab $275,000

pounds or dollars?

About 12%

Will there be an option for a non-hybrid?

Just don’t see $260k possible to hold up if it’s hybrid. Once the hybrid hype and cool tech is over, we will see the 992.2 turbos depreciate quickly and the 992.1 start to form a strong bottom.

I think your analysis is probably correct. The new buyers that propped up the price in the past have leaned. Hybrid cars will take a major dump 1st year since no one will want to be 1st or maybe that is incorrect and people will be lining up to pay 250k - 260k for mass produced hybrid and pay overs as well. I’m laughing inside dealers asking for overs on a hybrid car 😀. I am on list for 992.2 and probably going to sit out 1st yr and see how it goes.

Like the new GTS, the .2 TTS won’t be a plug in, right? In that case, I don’t think Porsche will have a problem selling them like hot cakes, especially given the performance. It’s anybody’s guess but Porsche isn’t going to pump out a $300k vehicle that will be difficult to sell. There will always be the die hard 992/992.1 fans but majority of the buyers tend to flock to technology and performance. Remember when folks on these forums went ape s**t when Porsche ditched the NA motor for a 3.0TT in the Carrera, I think around 2015 with 991.2?

^^^^Sounds about right^^^.
The current TTS is fast enough for me, too fast! Lots of current owners are modifying them wanting more speed so the TTS Hybrid will be the choice for most of them also.

You are probably not far off. I am thinking about a 10K increase for the 992.2 hybrid TTS with 720 hp. It will sell very well. 300K nicely optioned will become the norm. Hell I had to spend 22 bucks for 2 burgers w fries at Wendy's the other day....we are living in a new price paradigm. Thanks Covid.

Carrera GTS went from $150k to $165k (10%) with the inclusion of the hybrid tech, so I expect a similar %age increase in price -- and that puts it at $253k. Anything from $250k to $260k is probably within range.

Porsche never had problem selling TT/TTS in the past sometimes it sold slowly but they still sold.
There is huge difference between the old days and last 2-3 yrs when dealers were asking for crazy overs non GT cars and Porsche increased prices for same cars over 2-3 yrs.
Adding hybrid even if non plugin is new territory and not the same as switching from NA to a Turbo that Porsche have been producing since the dawn of time.

Should be pretty easy to tell demand is robust if dealers are asking and getting 20k + over MSRP for 992.2 like they have been doing for 992.1.
GTS weight penalty for hybrid I think was something like 120lbs and add that to the new car and you are 3800lbs + and with Cabrio it should hit 4000lbs
300k was already a hard sell since you are approaching McLaren territory and other options opens up. TT/TTS gets rarely tracked by most anyways and if the price is near a 750s I don’t think Porsche necessarily wins by default. Perhaps the demand is still strong and I guess we shall find out.

Everything remains to be seen for sure. I've always liked the GTS variant of Porsches and the 992.2 GTS interests me by the day, even more so than the TT/TTS. I've never been interested in MCLs even though they are excellent performers and beautiful cars.

The 992.2 GTS will be a lot cheaper than the 992.2 TTS. I worry about the price increase of the 992.2 TTS.

I spec'd one out and it came out to just over $200k. For 0.5 seconds slower than the 992.1TTS, it's a good buy relatively speaking. Any sub 3 second car will blow your socks off. For me, I look for the power delivery (NA like linearity), sound, and feel of a car more than just performance figures. To each his own. As I've said before, I love the GTS variants and from the video reviews of the 992.2 GTS, the exhaust notes and power delivery are on point. As a reference, I had a tuned/modded 992.1 GTS putting out just shy of 600Hp and I enjoyed driving it more than the 991TTS. I also like the playfulness of the RWD. I already have an AWD R8 Performance so I don't need another AWD toy. Now if the 992.2 TT/TTS can produce the same notes, I'm game. In regards to price, I'm going to guess 8-10% increase. I don't think it's going to break anyone's bank but everyone is different with money. It's just money and life short. First world problems!

Pushing the price of the TTS well above $250k will place it in competition with some new and used exotics, and will narrow the demand for the TTS to fat cats who for whatever reasons want an understated car. Such buyers will continue to exist, but in that price range, I think many buyers will be drawn to the exotics.
