I would guess it would be available at some point in the lifecycle of the 992.1, but not sure.

For the love of god please NOBODY mention the word "carbon" when discussing the 992!

The " digital application " “Porsche Impact” emissions calculator will freak out on you!

Maybe the empty spaces on both sides are reserved for buttons for future use (possibly for a hybrid?). Or features like a sunroof, Targa top, or maybe an optional sport exhaust for the base Carrera? And has anyone seen the button for Auto Start/Stop?

Also - it's just idling - no revving. Sorry guys.
