I have had what I have suspected all along, proven. I had it confirmed by the Porsche Mechanic I know and trust, Kent Moore, who owns Premier Sports Car Service, this is why I trust his work, and word. \/
The engine and transmission, are the exact same throughout the 992 Carrera series. Same piston, rods, block, everything is the exact same. The transmission housing, transmission and everything is the same.
The only difference between the engines and transmissions is the software. People are paying the extra money for S or GTS when the only difference is the tune. Porsche is making a great deal of profit out of that. Kent said there might be lining differences, but he would have to check the all of the carrera line, the base, the T, the S, the GTS, to see if there is a difference on the 992 he suspects there is not based in the work he has done on 992 carrera models for the track already. But there is always a small possibility of there being slight differences.
We can nitpick the breaks, the rear helper springs/suspension, turbos, possible intercooler/radiator differences, but there is not much of a difference even between all these.
so for anyone who is and has been wondering what the difference is now you know. Not a single difference between the actual make up of all 3 engines and transmissions
so go wild with your tuning and get those T numbers up to GTS if you so desire
Nothing new here - been reported many many times already and well understood.
In the UK a company called Litchfield is famous for its tuning and remapping.
This is what their website currently offers….
WOW, that is amazing, over 500 hp! I wonder what the life of the engine will be at 572 hp then. Same life as the GTS or a little shorter?
! I know the topic has come up, but we have all been mostly speculating, I wanted to let everyone know I had it confirmed from a very reliable source that they are exactly the same.
With no "stronger pistons, stronger block, or transmission casings, as some have thought. I have been trying to research it on my own before aking the mechanic but there its not much info on the actual engine, transmission or comparisons between the 992 Carrera line, which is why I decided to ask him.
Is the MyPorsche image indicative of the tire lottery?
No, not at all. If you go to the configurator you will notice within the photos that they are P Zeros. Porsche and Pirelli have had a rather lengthy relationship/partnership.

This is what bothers me, they assemble in a week but sit on transports or docks for weeks/months! 😵💫
Edit: My was built in 4-4.5 days.
My car was delayed for three weeks and we suspect it might be because of the “bespoke center console lid” which is installed in the actual Exclusive Manfacktur department, whereas other Exclusive options are typically installed during assembly on the production line. There are not a lot of options on it and those that are, are allegedly not constrained
Mine was supposed to arrive just prior to Christmas now it is looking like mid January. I suppose it does not really matter as it will not see a whole lot of use during the winter months.
