992 GTS possible engine spec?
Previous years gts was getting the same engine as a and 4s. But now days Panamera gts and cayenne gts are using the detuned engine from turbo.
So any possibility that 992 gts will have a detuned 3.8TT from turbo?
BTW even the 718 gts are using 4.0L engine from Gt4 now.
Asking this because idk I should go for S/4S now or wait for the gts.

Same could be said for the rest of the Porsche line-up. Btw OP, Macan has also adopted this approach of using a Turbo engine.
It seems unlikely that they'd put the Turbo's 3.8 in a GTS. But it also seems weird that Porsche would change the GTS approach across the entire line-up except their flagship car. From what I can tell no one has any definitive info.
There's gonna be a lot of people who repeat the usual 'No, GTS is a hotted up S' seemingly unaware of the recent changes across every other Porsche

As has already been done the S 3L engine has a lot more to give than the stock power, so Id expect that to be tweaked to something like 460ish bhp for the GTS, maybe some exhaust component changes too just to be different.

The 911 lives in its own universe. Rules don't necessarily apply to the 911 and I don't think Porsche is afraid of having a completely unique approach to the 911 lineup.
Personally, I don't see them putting in a detuned NA motor in the GTS. The car would end up slower than a Carrera S. A slowish NA motor wouldn't fit the character of the GTS.
I don't see why they would put in a detuned 3.8 TT which is normally reserved for the vanilla Turbo. I think they want to keep the Turbo special.
Bigger turbo in the 3.0 is the most likely outcome. People call the GTS a tarted up S with Powerkit because that's exactly what it is.
Either way - I wouldn't expect the GTS for another year, minimum. Life is short, so I wouldn't wait, but the choice is yours.

Don't believe anything about the GTS until it hits the street, I mean how long did Porsche say the Cayman / Boxster would never challenge the 911. Then the GT4, then the 4.0 GTS/Spider. Then the... ??

I pray the 992 is the exception to the new trend, as Id end up in a 3rd 992 🤣
Id be angry with Porsche, while being grateful at the same time!

Considering the new 992 Turbo/S has a 3.8l version of the Carrera 3.0 9A2EVO motor, the GTS will have a detuned motor that is shared by the Turbo. Question really only becomes, will it be 3 liters or 3.8?

I have a hard time with them putting the 3.7 twin turbo in there, with less boost. And yes, it IS a 3.7 liter. Just like a Jeep Liberty!

Old 911 GTS 450 hp - typical power bump suggests 20-30 hp...it would be really hard to detune the 580 hp engine from the 992 TT. Man, I have no idea what they will do here. At some point you've gotten what you're going to get from the 3.0.
Old Boxster GTS was what, 365 hp? New one with NA is 394 hp?
Hmmm...gonna be interesting.
