No. The closest to getting urine on a vehicle is getting arrested for urinating on a police vehicle. My drunk cousin needed to take a leak during the Mardi Gra parade. He went behind the NOLA police horse trailers (which smell like urine) to relieve himself. Big mistake. He spent the rest of the night in the NOLA police drunk tank (during Mardi Gra) for a charge of “urinating on a police vehicle”.

One of my friends has a Boxster in that color; his wife insisted on it and he's a very well regarded automotive designer. Not sure what that means but he likes it too!

Porsche Introduces the new 2024 911 992.2 Model with Exciting New Derivatives

Stuttgart, Germany - Porsche is proud to announce the latest addition to its 911 family - the 992.2 model, featuring an array of impressive performance upgrades and technologies that offer next generation electric assisted hybrid performance.

The 992.2 model introduces four new derivatives that are sure to satisfy the most demanding car enthusiasts.

Beginning with the 911 Turbo and 911 Turbo S, the 911 Turbo will mate the existing 3.7L flat-six engine with a pair of 400 volt electric motors offering a combined 712 HP, while the Turbo S will produce a staggering 836 HP.

All 911 Carrera all wheel drive models will also feature a similar hybrid electric system, mating a single 400 volt electric motor with the 3.0L turbo-charged flat-six engine. These will be available as the 911 Carrera, 911 Carrera 4S, 911 Carrera GTS4, offered as Coupe, Cabriolet, and Targa models, and all featuring Porsche's world class 8 speed PDK transmission.


For those seeking a manual transmission, Porsche is proud to offer the 911 Carrera T, 911 Carrera S and 911 Carrera GTS in manual rear wheel drive only models, all of which feature modest improvements in power over the 992.1 generation.

All 992.2 models will feature a fully digital dashboard including a digital tachometer, optional extended navigation and media touchscreen for passengers, as well as optional driver's heads up display (HUD).

The 992.2 model is a true testament to Porsche's commitment to innovation and performance. With these impressive new derivatives, Porsche continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in the world of high-performance sports cars.

The 992.2 model is now available for order at Porsche dealerships worldwide. To learn more about these new models, visit the Porsche website or contact your local dealer.

Founded in 1931, Porsche has a rich history of engineering excellence, innovation, and design, with a focus on delivering an unparalleled driving experience to its customers.

LO is now listed as PTS colour on the UK configurator, but there is an X against it, so it can't be configured. I doubt it will appear back on the standard / special colours for next MY

OK... if the PDK currently supports a ICE and Electric power source .... does that mean the Hybrid 911 is likely limited to a PDK ? and that manual transmissions are ICE only ?

For the 992.2 generation, the likely candidates for hybridization are the Turbo S, GT2 RS, and GT3 RS, all of which are PDK only.

I would not be surprised to see Porsche offer a new manual with the move to Hybrid. They could do a 6 speed again, because the hybrid would reduce emissions vs a 7th gear that nobody uses.

New shots of the Turbo with another peak at the rear taillights.

The 992.1 taillights end at the edge of the rear glass line and curve up on the corners. Now they extended them longer towards the middle where the Porsche lettering is. And there’s definitely a change coming to the corner where it meets the bumper. My theory is it will be tucked in like the Taycan where the bumper looks more 3D.

mules have been out so long on the .2 that they are clearly testing more than just some styling tweaks so I'd expect some powertrain updates available at or around launch (hybrid availability)

‘They are bringing back the NA motor because of the center pipes’ crowd here are going to be so confused after this.
