It would really be sick if they brought the manual back, in at least the Cab version, which would make me like the 992 for sure.

GG Porsche, and there goes bye bye deposit for the 992 4S.

Factory Sport Exhaust, Sport suspension on a Turbo S for the first time? Heil yes!

The distinctive Turbo S exhaust will now sound incredible through PSE. Although probably not as awesome as the naturally aspirated engines.

No real surprises here with the noted exception of particulate filters for US market cars. 😡

We all knew that the widebody would be wider on the new Turbo cars. Sport exhaust is an interesting add, but global particulate filters - BOO!

Particulate filters are bad news and I wouldn’t be surprised to see them show up in all US market 911s soon.

Glad we are getting ours now!

I’d hate to get a particulate filter on a US Porsche.

I agree. Porsche has some great wheels for the 992 gen. I don't see much need for aftermarket wheels...

I hope not. If they do, it would probably be with the 992.2 (mid-cycle refresh).

Time to use the bathroom, put the jammies on, and dive into this. And I can hear a giant sucking sound coming from 991.2 TTS new car asking prices....

Yep and I recall yours truly mentioning this months ago...not to pat myself on the back or anything.

And now think about the price of this thing. Current Turbo S starts at $191k...this thing has to start at $200k at least.

I don’t exactly understand the direction Porsche is taking us with their bumper design. The rear bumper on the turbo seems to be close to the SD package on the base Carrera, whereas the front bumper is closer to the standard bumper from the base Carrera.

My C4S cab build is like 180k, since I want all the performance options plus color and design options since I have em on my current 991.2. Makes my choice easier now would be time to save and go for this new turbo s because it should include all those options standard haha.

New Turbo S is going to start at about $220k and will very likely cross $250k configured the way that you want it, especially with these new previously unavailable options.
