I sat down yesterday with my SA here in Germany to lock my final configuration and he said that the facelift will not be on the market before Q3 2024. I asked him if he was kidding, but he confirmed information as of today. Only thing that will be changed for MY 24 is a 5% price increase. He is a decent person and I know that he is not a wacko. So, seems that everything will be postponed by approx. a full year!

That suits me fine, as I intend to keep the new 992 T for 2 years. However, I am not entirely convinced, as we see so many 992.2 mules all over the interwebs, the release must be nearer.

For those of us (including me) who want a 2023 992* but don't yet have an allocation (like me) this is good news. I assume "on the market" means the beginning of production of the 2025 models will be in very late August 2024/early September 2024.

My SA in the US also said that the 992.2 will be coming in 2024 as MY25. He said that was official information their received internally from Porsche.
I'm not sure I believe it as we see so many mules out there. On the flip side, I agree they just launched a few new models (T, Dakar, GT3RS) so it could make sense that we get one more year of .1

ps : the location of the exhaust means nothing, it was nearly the same in the 991.2.

It seems very unlikely that Porsche would go back to NA. Its possible there may be a NA hybrid special trim maybe?
The two problems with NA is if Porsche can beat the emission levels of the turbo engine and can provide similar HP.

Interesting thought! Electric turbo would be in essence electric supercharger with zero lag.
Unless you mean 911 Turbo which are electric powered

Wasnt this something that Porsche had applied for some kind of patent on or announced they were working on?

Would be awesome to see a 911 turbo that works better, is lighter and does it on a cheap fuel. I worked at the Los Alamos laboratory for 6 years, they arent all in with alternative fuels but I did see groups working on Algae, Fuel cells as well as PU power. Id usually ask the R&D folks what they were doing when I saw experiments and they were excited to share but you could tell the money for such experiments were no where near the money that goes into the weapons side of the house. It seems the system is made to work for the DOD. The gains for cars are done by smart people inside the aviation and automotive side of the house or even guys in the garage.
