So for example, 992.2 C2S will be turbo only with a power bump, like to 465 hp? That's what I interpret you relayed. Makes sense.
Then I think about GTS going PDK/hybrid/turbo and it would be a beast. But does that mean it's therefore AWD ? 520 hp ++ ?

Very interesting if they put the turbo/hybrid system in the GTS too!

I don't think this is accurate. There is plenty of headroom in these engines to incrementally increase power without moving to hybrids, and Porsche has no reason to make huge performance improvements as the current cars are selling very well. The move to hybrids is to comply with emissions standards.

Jason what about S? My info is that it is 510bhp and it is a hybrid. GTS is also a hybrid with 540bhp.

I would ask very elegantly to respect and read well what Jason posts since he is in the business and he does not post bull****.

By dismissing the info Jason is providing you simply discourage someone that really knows more than us not to post.

I am in Europe and I do not know Jason but his info is always accurate and I actually wish he posts more info.

Also please note that main dealers in Europe do have the info that you say is runors and speculations - they even have their allocations for the first months next summers. How else will the production forecast be created?

I agree with this. It is sad that they cannot make a different interior for the 911. God knows that 911 customers are different from Taycan owners.

The S model at over 500bhp would be wonderful; never really thought of it when I ordered it. Can you share the source of this information?

Ah, well, chalk up another one for god being wrong since a lot of Taycan owners also own a 911. Myself included. Better luck next time, god.

So are you saying the Base/S will be NA/Hybrid or remain the same as current - turbo without hybrid?

Regardless this seems to be an odd move because under either scenario the GTS models will become less desirable than the S models.

If I read it correctly, Jason,

The base and S stay with 3.0L turbo motor, just enjoy the usual power upgrade.

The GTS and above get 3.0L turbo , plus electric motor making it a hybrid.

This certainly meets my requirement, as I want 992.2 Targa 4S, with the last fossil-fuel motor
