There had not been a definitive answer on this. No need for insults. They are incorporating these into the catalytic converters. Like they're going to make two different part numbers? We will see. A USA dealer is promoting the benefits of them.
Porsche has been quoted as saying ALL cars will be fitted with them. No distinctions or exceptions were noted.

I don't think enough has been talked about how the Manual Transmission for the 992 is in jeopardy... A big reason why the manual was around for the 991 was because the Manual Gearbox shared about 80 percent of the parts with the PDK. With the new 8 speed PDK the 911 is getting, there's no way there'll be a 8 speed manual transmission. So then it becomes a question of cost for Porsche, the costs of keeping the current 991 7 speed transmission will go up and the 6 speed manual in the GT3 I suspect costs way more than 7 speed...
I think Porsche delayed the manual on purpose to gauge how orders would look coming in and if there were enough they could kill it off next summer quietly.

^Sounds plausible but I hope not!
I for one am waiting for a 3 pedal 992

They could keep the 7, or upgrade us to the GT6. Though the GT manual is undoubtedly more expensive, there's no way it surpasses the cost of an 8 speed PDK.
I hope they keep the manual alive and well; the 992 is the first generation that I'll have the slightest chance of affording new, and I want to order a car once in my life... Before the manual dies.

Possible, though the re manual-ing of the GT3 says otherwise.

It’s bad enough that Porsche made a mess of the styling of the street car I love, but they had to go and style the body of the race car to look like the 992? I turned on the Rolex 24 hour and threw up in my mouth a little when I saw the 911. Looks so stupid on a race body.
