Principissimo

They showed Turbo S only

PGCEE

Hmm, no GTS either.

arek

In the past, GTS models have been shown last.

Current Euro to Dollar conversion rate shows the price for a 992 Turbo S Cabriolet to be $256k. I'm starting to feel pretty good about my decision to keep my 991 Turbo Cabriolet and add a 992 C4S coupe.

The quoted price includes Germany’s 19% VAT. Without those, you are looking at $202,274 for the coupe, and $214,984 for the cabriolet, which is in line with expectations.

Interesting that the engine is new, based on the 3.0 from Carrera. Still a 3.8 twin-turbo, this time with 641 hp (650 PS, 478 kW) and 590 ft-lb (800 Nm).
0-100 km/h in 2.7s
0-200 km/h in 8.9s

Pretty close. From Road & Track: "The 2021 911 Turbo S coupe will start at $204,850, which represents a $12,900 increase over its predecessor. Opting for a Turbo S Cabriolet will set you back $217,650."

PGCEE

Sorry for off-topic and an uneducated question, but as 718 GTS is NA, does anyone see a chance that 992 GTS will be NA too?

First 992 Turbo S ad:

GrantG

Unlikely, as the 992 GTS will have to make around 480hp and be faster than an S making 450hp and way more torque than NA. Rather than a detuned GT3 motor, some suggest a detuned 3.8 Turbo motor for this model...

Drifting

completely off topic.

So it looks like they’re doing a staggered release - just Turbo S for now, the normal Turbo will come sometime later.
