Default 992 Turbo

Curious what the specs and when the new Turbo will come out? Will the rear be even wider than the 4S? Also is there a spec sheet on the differences between the 991.2 and the 992

Yes, rear is wider. Spy pics have shown this. Haven't heard rumors on Turbo output but the Turbo S is rumored to be as high as 650HP. That's quite a jump from the previous gen; 650HP sounds more plausible for a Turbo S e-hybrid, which I don't think we're going to see until the 992.2 (though I could be mistaken).

I think the 997 Turbo S was 530 hp...991.2 Turbo S was 580 hp...992 could be...630 hp???

I’ve seen 650hp mentioned on several websites, this is very plausible with a simple tune, that kind of power could be a game changer.

Holy cow if it's 650 hp I can't imagine what the price will be on a Turbo S. Maybe start at $200k. I can't even imagine what the base Turbo is even gonna start at...

- why would it be starting at 200k ? The other models dint rise by so much, yet the HP did. That is what attracts to buy the subsequent model.

The Turbo S cab already starts at 203k...so the coupe 992 turbo s will probably get to that price and the cabriolet will probably move to the 208 level

I also heard 650 hp somewhere but if you extrapolate from previous generations:
997.1 Turbo = 480
997.2 Turbo = 500, Turbo S = 530
991.1 Turbo = 520, Turbo S = 560
991.2 Turbo = 540, Turbo S = 580

You get this:
992.1 Turbo = 560, Turbo S = 600

600hp is becoming too irrelevant with the likes of McLaren 720S, Huracan Performante, Z06, and 488 GTB numbers. The rumour mill suggests 650hp and that's where the Turbo S needs to be in order to remain competitive.

On that note, my deposit has already been paid on a Turbo S with no guarantee on timeline and/or price. But I will get the first one out of my local dealership here so I'm excited for that in a big, big way.

Turbo S is still a 200k car that's yet faster 0-60 than any of that competition which is at LEAST 100k more price wise (short of the vette which really isn't in the competitive wheel house of a car like the TT...more the GT). Granted, wouldn't say no to more power...but 630 would be more than enough...hell the 600 that mine has is plenty (19 with sport cats and exhaust)
