  • Particulate filters/GPF will undoubtedly make their appearance for the global market as Porsche has been saying for a while.
  • The modest regularly scheduled facelift power bump will be offset by GPFs and added weight.
  • Expect performance hybrid Turbo cars and a mild hybrid drive system for the Carrera/S/GTS. Added weight all around.
  • Substantial price increase for mid-cycle refresh cars to reflect supply chain challenges and updates.

If you want a 992, I don’t see a lot of compelling reason to wait for the 992.2. Given that 992 depreciation remains virtually non-existent, you could buy one now and trade it in for a 992.2 if the car turns out to be a meaningful update.
So, with the analog tachometer eliminated, will the whole front screen in front of the steering wheel, be dark, until the engine is turned on ?

Is it just me or does this 992.2 Turbo US Spec (check the amber side markers) prototype sounds GPF-less? Exhaust sounds much more full compared to videos of the Euro spec cars with GPF.... or it could just be Porsche tuned the 992.2 to sound better even with the GPF. How they improved the sound of the 992 over the 991.2..

Yup, as long as not powered on, the lcd will remain in dark. Lcd screen is a good thing actually as it may be possible to get different colored dials without paying...

Come on, this is Porsche we're talking about. That'll be a $1500 "multi color" option on the configurator!!

Porsche teased something for 29th reveal but based I’m on the teaser pic it doesn’t seem to be 992.2

If the GMs know, hopefully trickles to other countries and we'll know more in the coming days/weeks.
