My nearby dealer is MSRP only as I refuse to pay an ADM on a used car.

Sounds pretty similar to the 4.0L engine in my Spyder. A 911 with that engine could be pretty interesting, even if it isn't any faster than the current turbocharged base engine.

There never was a 718 with more than 420nm of torque in manual from. Therefore the 9A2 was probably held back intentionally to preserve the drivetrain. The 991.1 already had 440nm from a 3.8L so 450nm out of a 4L is nothing out of the ordinary since the 992 has a much stronger drivetrain.

When the next gen 718 show up (MY2025) this engine will need a new home. MY2025
seem to be right in line for the next carrera T.

The previous Carrera T was often criticize for not beign special enough.

I could see a line up like this for the 992.2
Carrera 400ps 3.0T
Carrera T 430/440ps with the 4.0 N/A
Carrera S 480ps 3.0T
Carrera GTS 510ps 3.0T

The production version would be cleaner, but I suspect they’re referencing the 997 Turbo


You’ll be able to option the Sport Design Package for $10,000 that will get rid of them. 🙄

Porsche 911 boss Frank-Steffen Walliser denied reports that a naturally aspirated flat-six would return to the Carrera lineage.”

The only interesting thing about that article is how hard the author tries to justify Walliser's "no" answer ... well, maybe not the 4.0, but the 3.8 blah blah blah.

Here's the source of actual information about Walliser denying a 4.0L 992.2 911

https://www.carexpert.com.au/car-new...ted-718-engine

Money quote from the article:

Porsche won’t be backtracking on its move to turbocharge the entire non-GT 911 range – despite reports to the contrary.

Rumours based on feedback from eagle-eared spy photographers suggested the 911 could gain the naturally-aspirated 4.0-litre engine currently featured in the 718 Cayman and Boxster GTS as an option with its mid-life facelift.

But asked if the 4.0 from the 718 GTS range will end up in the 911, Frank-Steffen Walliser, board member responsible for the 911 and 718, simply told us “no”.

Nice to see this post while my lock date is next Monday. 😕

Now what should i do?!

My post was incorrect. The 992.1 was introduced as an MY20, so the 992.2 should be an MY24, maybe available late-2023 or early-2024.

Yeah. I was also convinced with the current situation of the logistics and production issues you should take whatever you can. I waited for some time to get a confirmed slot.

Anyone notice the new taillights on the 2022 season cup cars? The lights aren’t as ‘round’ & sit a little more flush with the body. Probably going to be the new lights for 992.2 if I had to guess
