Race Car
I figured it was coming-- been poking around on a 991 TTS but that may be a depreciation nightmare with 992 TT about to be released...
is this car keeping the 3.8 liter engine?? I assume it is:
wider front track
21" rears
sport exhaust added
8-speed PDK with start stop and maybe cylinder deactivation
higher pressure fuel injectors and different air intake
standard tungsten carbide coated brake rotors (maybe up to 390mm diameter) on TT
revised gear ratios for TT?
New front and rear fascias
Possible std LED matrix headlights
carbon fiber roof option
wonder about the turbo logo on the tach- how will that look??
New colors?
New wheels--
stiffer PASM
What about the compression ratio?? higher redline?
Guessing 570 hp for base TT.
What else??

I am guessing the Turbo will be announced right before LA Auto Show.
It will probably have a 21/22" setup since the S has a 20/21" setup this time around.
https://www.motor1.com/news/372438/p...bo-spy-images/ shows how the "Turbo S" logo will look on the dash.

The 991 TT and TTS are already monsters on the road. I expect the 992 version to be even more so. Possibly a 4.0, staggered tire sizes, it will be a beautiful with a beautiful price. But I am betting will deliver exotic car numbers both in performance and pricing.

Regarding the Targa announcement,
I did hear from a dealer that the 991.2 Targa may be ordered through the end of the year. He didn't say what happened beyond year end.
I have reviewed Nick Murray's Youtube video regarding various 992 release dates. Considering there was a bit of a hiccup in his release projections, regarding the base model rwd and s model rwd to be released together initially (turns out that the first release included both the s rwd and s awd), he projects that the TARGA will be late 2020 early 2021.
Having seen videos and pictures of the 992 Targa here and there of a rather completed car, it looks ready to be released. Having not seen or heard anything more definitive though, I'm afraid to say, that as Nick advises, we may very well have to wait for the announcement of the 992 Targa some 12 months or more from now. Then one would have to wait for shipment, custom orders and the omnipresent delay of the EPA in USA.
I'm thinking that the executives, and financial analysts at Porsche know when the Targa will be released and have included into their financial projections fy2021 and not fy2020. Theoretically, this would keep the sales numbers, consistently increasing, as the s and base would have already been out a while.
Porsche makes one drool a while until we finally say enough is enough, will this other model do?. Do we wait?
By the time, the Targa is released, I imagine we will see many more discounts on base and s models, and an array of used models perhaps, more tantalizing to budgets.
Wouldn't it be nice to just buy a model, that you could just drive as much as you like, and not worry about miles that you put on the car. When you have such a high valued depreciating asset, it makes you wonder what 992 model/version to buy. I remain open to buy and could venture into the s or base camp if the right discount on a new or USED appears. I think I might very well jump on it.
Regards, Mark

992 Targa Release date
My thinking is that the Targa 992 is ready to roll right now (as they are keeping the same roof system basically).
However, if we followed the same formula for introduction of the 991, it would be released from Dec 2020 to Jan 2021; though this was for an entirely new roof system on the Targa.
Nonetheless, I think that the 992 Targa release is a decision based on:
-an introduction to keep the momentum going when the earlier releases have been out for a while and sales of these releases have flattened out from the initial spike upon introduction; and to help balance out sales for the financial analysts.
Furthermore, I wouldn't be surprised if we were to see a Spring 2020 release of the 992 Targa this time around.
I’ve been holding off on purchasing a 992 until all the variants that I’m interested in are available to select from- Base, S and Targa or if a certain opportunity presents itself that I go for.
