This seems like a good winter daily driver until I saw the high MSRP using a GTS engine. Why is this so costly? I was hoping for a full lineup along with the standrad 911 for a better daily driver that works well in the winter.

Yeah, exactly. This is for the type of guy/girl that can spend $240k on something absolutely ridiculous just to have a laugh. I'm fairly certain this project started off as a joke.

Can you get skis on it?

Stunning! On white, you can add decals later.

I am plotting Martini Racing on Carrera T, but you might want to do Rothmans later.

Petrol, alcohol and tobacco rules!

All we need is firearms, and we have all the guilty pleasures!

For sure there is a dedicated roof rack, but most likely you will be able to fit the standard techipment Porsche accessories on the roof rails, including for ski and winter gear. I believe it has the standard roof of a regular carrera.

I truly hope this becomes a mainstay Porsche. I’d love to drive with my wife from Florida to Alaska and back hitting every notable National Park along the circuitous route for a couple months in a Bahama Yellow Safari. What a perfect vehicle for it. Not sure the price of admission is warranted but like it’s been said maybe the options will filter down to the 4S. I don’t need the lightweight glass and other lightweight stuff but a dependable fun off-road capable 911 would be perfect with the roof rack, rooftop tent etc. can’t wait to hear about the first buyer’s adventures!

Posted in wrong thread. Sorry.

I’m sorry but… 149 mph top speed? Where’s the beef? And that’s with summer tires mounted?

ipse dixit

The Pirelli Scorpions, the OEM tires, are limited to 149.

According to PAG, they will start to delaminate at speeds above 150.

I have not driven 991.1 T vs 991.2 S… but I am in the same position as you, and having the same questions on my mind, I have driven 992 base vs 992 S.

The difference is considerable, however, my view is that 992 T with M/T and shorter final drive will be a great car to drive, as an interim measure until my 992.2 C2S PDK arrive.

I have been waiting for C2S since Nov-2021 and I am told that release of 992.2 is imminent, so my 992 C2S order will be automatically moved to the 992.2 C2S model. Also, production of C2 and C2S is at absolute minimum, to allow for all the latest releases.

So I have ordered 992 T, which seems to be more available, while I wait for C2S. Furthermore, I suspect that 992 base motor is being discontinued and the inventory has to be flushed out of the system to make space for 992.2.

With the crazy market we have right now, driving the 992 T for few months until 992.2 arrives seem to me as low risk proposition.

OK the Scorpions are all-terrain tires...not traditionally what I consider "summer" tires. Because essentially otherwise it would have top speed of a C4GTS.

Given the limitation of A/T tires in terms of top speed, one missed opportunity was to give this model specific transmission gearing or at least a different (shorter) final drive: it would have improved the midrange response and also help in the downhill with shorter gears.
I suppose it was extra investment not worth the limited production.

If you're doing more than 149mph on dirt you're either in the WRC, or you should be in a mental ward.

Wasn’t it due to aerodynamic lift as well? Top speed on any of my cars is meaningless regardless. I’ve certainly never even had it enter into my car buying decisions. But, maybe some regularly hit 150 plus, who knows.
