Hmm, that's from nearly 2 years ago.

In internet time, that's equivalent to unearthing news from the Mesozoic Era ...

 

haha yeah!! Anything about strategy and planning pre-Covid means nothing. The vehicle market has been changed forever.

 

Well, in both previous generations they used the .2 / mid-life update to introduce new gen engines. 9A1 in the 997.2 and 9A2 in the 991.2. So who’s to say the 992.2 won’t be 9A3 or whatever, we’ll just have to wait I guess.

 

Sure, but how long do you think it takes Porsche to design, build and trouble shoot a new engine, even if it is based on a current one? It takes years. Porsche engineers live years in the future.

 

If they put the GT4 4.0 into the 992.2 Carrera T the car will sell like hot cakes, I bet many won't even want the 991.2 T with the turbo engine if they can get the NA 992 T.

 

Unless I don’t understand what you are saying, no such thing as “NA 992 T”. It’s either NA or Turbo, not both.

Did you mean to say a 4.0L NA 992? If so, it won’t be as fast as the existing 992 T…or are you saying putting the same turbo currently on the 992 T, on the 4.0L?

 

Cody, the “T” is a separate model from the “Turbo”.

Refer to the 991.2 Carrera T, or the 718 T - both are base model vehicles, with the sport options included as standard + a few other things.

 

Yes, I understand it’s the base Carrera. So, the Carrera T does not have a turbo? If it does have a turbo, then per my previous post, no such thing as “NA 992 T”. A NA engine does not have a turbo, force feeding it. That was my point.

 

I think you are even more confused now

The 992 T doesn’t exist yet; speculation (as in the entire point of this thread) is that a naturally aspirated engine will be in an upcoming 992 model, perhaps the T.

“T” and “Turbo” have nothing to do with each other.

 

Umm, “the 992 T doesn’t exist yet”? Cool. But I’m looking at the Porsche web site, and the current 992 base 911 is called the Carrera T. But whatever. Enjoy the speculation…😱

 

Link please, because you just scooped every auto journalist and fan site in the world.

BTW Cody, I’ve been kind in our transaction even though I am 99.9% sure you are still confusing models. The reason is this: Why you shouldn’t be a jerk to people who don’t know “common knowledge”

There is no 992 T yet… but if there is one out and unannounced, even better as I have a deposit down for one!

You are likely looking at an old 991.2 webpage, or confusing the “Carrera” for a “Carrera T”. Post that link when you can, because I’ll be the first to be happy if so!

 

 

@CodyBigdog - please post that link when you can (to the 992 Carrera T)

 

Did I miss something and 996/997 values have over taken 991.1 values?


This thread is all over the place….


I’m all for a new T with the 4.0 NA motor. Just keep the back seat as an option.

Like a GT3 lite version for folks that want the same thing but don’t want to go full boat GT car.

 

I agree. I don’t care what they call it. A “T” or a “GTS” with this set up and I’ll be on several dealers list.

In my mind the T designation is a little more on brand for Porsche. It has been the back to basics, simpler 911. Never the hot motor, never the more expensive option. More of a pure experience kind of model. That fits a NA 4.0.
