Mules often do not have the final spec wheels (just look at some of the 992 GT3 mule spy shots).

But whether that means this is a 992.2 GTS hybrid is anyone's guess.

Porsche Marketing probably put the yellow sticker on the mule to generate sales volumes in the 992.1 as the last pure ICE 911.

Has anyone seen this video? Some strangely specific details on the 992.2 hybrid in here…

10.8 KWH electric battery
400V FHEV system architecture
43 mile range on electric only
Existing 3.0L TT will be slightly revised

If that's the EV range, the battery is too big - and too heavy. This car needs a KERS like system that provides a modest burst of EV supplement, not a 43 mile EV range like a commuter BEV would have. A 43 mile EV range sounds very high for a non plug in car. Video wasn't precise - sounds like all 911 hybrids will be "4" cars with electrics driving the front wheels, and they will lose the frunk for the battery and the motors? The other interesting comment was that turbo exhaust gases drive the generator - so does that mean the car doesn't have regenerative brakes?

Feels like opinion being passed off as news ...

Probably. But it's more elegant.

At least that last part applies to hybridization!

NO... PASS... I hate how Audi has done this. It looks like the headlight bulbs are out every time someone turns on a blinker... So glad I have a 2023 about to be built, and not a 2024

If you look closely, there appears to be something covered over above the left and right side air intakes. Maybe turn signals?

God bless you,

i saw you said "blinker" and i was like hmm i wonder if hes is a fellow bostonian. Yep, Blinkah!

agreed, my Q7 does the same, looks like my headlight is off when turning. You would think its good to have maximum light when turning at night, makes no sense.
