• Front fascia and rear bumper design changes, possibly inspired by the 992 TT/TTS design tweaks -- guaranteed like above
• Particulate filters will be a strong possibility for all markets as Porsche has indicated so much
• Hybrid revealed as the promised new 911 category/model and priced above the TT/TTS. Carreras won't see a real hybrid drivetrain until after the 992.2
• Manual will finally trickle down to the Base engine in limited markets, like the US, not available elsewhere due to emissions/fuel economy regulations.
• Some previously exclusive S options will trickle down to the Base Carrera to effectively be a T package for the base car to boost sales.
• Heads up display with a Porsche twist, because everyone is doing this now
• Apple's CarKey support for truly keyless entry -- Apple is being aggressive with this

When you have electric motor(s) helping with low end torque, and fuel economy, you don’t need the turbos anymore. Removing the turbos also reduces weight and space, and there’s obviously the massive marketing benefit of having a NA 911.
My guess is 992.2 GTS will have this, and 992.2 Turbo (with the turbos, of course).

I think I prefer a non-electric 911 as it’s simpler and “purer”; but all the performance stats will be better with the hybrid drive, of course...
