The second lower light bar looks like camouflage to me.

Front bumper is camouflaged.

My guess is they are going to make the rear lights look like the Taycan. One strip across the whole back and the ends of the lights going into the bumper corners.

To me that looks like a double light bar like current 992 but longer towards the center of the vehicle

once again, all of these spy shots making me VERY happy and excited to have locked in my 2023 992T... Obviously we have no idea what this will look like when the covers come off, but I think I am going to be a lot happier with the current design vs. MY24

Generally speaking, the first iteration of a new model is always the best. The design is carefully made to best suit that new model. Facelifts are sometimes "forced", having to put new things on the car just to make it feel new. Most of the times those changes are design speaking, unnecessary. Look at the 991.1, how pure is it? Then it's not always the case, when a bad design comes out they can always correct it with a facelift but yeah generally speaking the best design is on the first iteration

Default Exhaust

Notice the exhaust pipes look so different. Right one looks fake even.

I see very little in the spy pictures that are that different from a 992.1. I suspect the bigger changes will be in the interior info system and an improved engine technology?

It's all speculation to me. Porsche has said that all Porsche 911 cars will be EV by 2035. They will have new models of a gas engine.before then. I'll call it a 992.3 as they have already used 993.

My 992 Turbo is perfect. I plan to buy a 992.2 or a 992.3 before Porsche kills the most perfect car ever made. There will never be a Porsche 911 EV car on my list.

Maybe they’ve finally sorted the borescore issue by blanking the drivers side out🤓

Because they went from na to turbo with the 991 to 991.2.
I have always assumed they will do some type of hybrid on the 992.2

The suspense is killing me!!!

I found the 991.2 to be a major aesthetic upgrade. Sometimes I think they purposefully leave room for themselves to improve on the LCI cars. Like the engine cover on 992.1. I’d say the same thing about the piano black plastic in the interior but it appears that’s sticking around

They had originally planned to go hybrid on the 991.2, too.
