In the MT you will spend no time on cleaning the crumb and dust collector around the floating PDK. As far as top speed or other stats I will never be able to challenge the 992’s engine. Just surprised there has been limited reviews on the manual 992 to date.

It is kind of strange that there are no reviews of the manual cars yet, maybe because the release is limited to Nth America they will do a limited press launch once the first cars arrive here.

I actually still can’t quite wrap my head around the manual being US-only. Feel very fortunate, but have a feeling the Europeans will get a nice 992T manual soon enough.

SA in London just told me that there are rumours there that the 992 manual will be US only.

I would not be surprised by this given Europe's stricter emissions requirements. Porsche can't do a social media post without mentioning CO2 emissions.

Phokaioglaukos

i think that’s the law in the EU for ads.

Which on one hand makes some sense given the take up rates in other regions for manual 991's, but on the other the R&D costs must be significant so why not sell it into places like the UK and Australia. Then again the M5 E60 manual was only sold in Nth America.

Time will tell.

First of all I have no doubt a gt3 or 993/964 sounds great in manual config, and without first hand experience, I won’t say that wouldn’t be more satisfying than a 992 manual.

But I have had 996.2 and 991.2 manuals, and I enjoyed the fact they were manual immensely... never wondering for a second if an automatic might improve the car.

My experiences with earlier 911sc sticks and 928 sticks was the gear change wasn’t that smooth/satisfying, had to really be precise, but perhaps they each needed a rebuild.

No experience w a pdk, might be awesome, but just didn’t speak to me.

I think it might be cool if there’s like 500 992 Carrera S sticks in the world, and everyone else, whether they like PDK or electric cars or whatever finds them completely unappealing... we’ll form a little club and enjoy ourselves.

Might be cool, but certainly would never happen again if they only can sell 500...

We can't wait to get one of our short throw shifters in these beautiful cars!

We all know electric will blow away any carbon only burning car. However most people want the stick not for the naught to 60 but the experience to be closer and more involved with the engine of the car. Having previously had a new 991.2 PDK witch I sold with less than 1000 miles on it. I am not a fan of the automatic. All be it you can use the paddles but really not like throwing 2nd to 3rd with the stick. If I want to buy a auto transmission I would go for a Tacan S or a Macan turbo. These cans have plenty of power and more useful for a day driver. Porsche will be forced to eventually go electric or hybrid in the next 992.2 and up so we may be seeing the last 3 peddle cars now. Change is tough but necessary. #savethemanual

I am wondering if it is coming with a short throw shifter?

Hp12c

dan, not that I’ve driven a short throw shifter, but my 992 MT seems to have roughly similar throws as my 991.2 MT, w relatively consistent effort... I don’t think the 992 comes with a short shift kit.

Dan Nagy

Thanks kindly for the reply. It looks shorter in the photo but perhaps just my wishful thinking. That would be an option I would tick!

Hp12c

it kind of looks a little lower to me, I’m not completely sure, but I don’t think that translates to the length or effort of throws, perhaps the console is a smidge higher?
