I got my 992.1 on NYD 2021. Love it! Have been saving for the 992 GTS in 2023, but I feel pressure to take an earlier allocation because honestly the all digital dash really bums me out. I'm still in shock that the 911 isn't keeping a single analog dial like we have in the 992.1. It makes me feel old an out dated that folks want all digital screens in their sports cars ...
I feel like getting a mortgage just to buy up some Porsches - 718 GTS, Spyder, 911 GTS. Because this is it.
Also, this cannot be real. They way they are sticking out? Why would they go retro with additional daytime running lights, while going all digital in the dash? And it breaks up the classic 911 lines.
Those are probably the new daytime running lights.
No more light blades on the front fascia.
Everyone has their taste but I think those horrible on the 992. The ducktail on the 992 Classic is a great example of retromodding the modern 911, but those cannot be the final running light design lol!

They're not...they're there to hide the updated light blade design which will be in the same place as the 992.1.
This news just reinforces my envy of all you driving the car you want. I placed my small deposit in May of 2021 for a C4S only to see each allocation window come and go. Here I sit waiting for my dealer to call me over the next few days with what should be the last "regularly" scheduled allocation drop for a 2022 model.
If nothing pops for me, then the next allocation drop, if I track previous years, will be late spring/early summer and those would be 2023 models produced just after the august shutdown.
Again, if Im tracking Porsche scheduling correctly, the detail (changes) of the coming years 911 model usually drop around the first week of April.
What a weird spot to be: waiting a year for a car that's 50/50 I get, seeing that a mid cycle refresh is already being test and will most certainly carry tantalizing changes, only to be now thinking "do I really want my 2022 allocation" because 60 days from now, I'll see that my car now has been upgraded via a model year change so what's a few more months wait!!
I don’t know if you are using a Ct dealer but my friend in Guilford Ct placed a deposit with Porsche of Wallingford last June on a C4S and took delivery last November.
Those are probably the new daytime running lights.
No more light blades on the front fascia.
My wife and I were driving home from LA yesterday and saw the 992.2 mule on the 405. It was led by a 992.1. When I came up on it, it took me several seconds to realize what I was seeing. The back end looks very nice, but not sure I like the centered exhausts. The front end has the ugly wart lights like this picture. My wife tried to get some pictures, but in all the excitement none of them really show anything. The driver must have seen her taking pictures because they slowed way down after that.
I wonder if they scrunched the instruments together towards the center to address everyone's complaint that the two outside circles are hidden behind the steering wheel.
