Saw this Motor Trend article indicating even the GT3 may go hybrid. Would be good to have a GT3 that has more torque at lower RPMs for better overall drivability.
I wonder if it is possible to have a hybrid 911 that has a manual transmission. I would be very sad to give up the manual option.

I am sure they can. But should they? Why would you want to manually change gears that don’t exist? I understand completely why someone prefers a MT and I understand why someone wants a hybrid or EV. But I can’t understand why you would want to go through the cost, effort, complexity of creating the fiction that you are changing gears on a transmission that doesn’t have any gears. That’s like designing an e-reader that required you to open and close the cover the change the page.

I would be very, very surprised to see a hybrid as a 992.2 release. If I had to guess, it’s still 3-5 years away.

I suppose if the 992.2 has the small battery in the PDK box then they may describe it is as mild hybrid. Plug in hybrid has to be as you say, with the 994.
