Dealers received those “surprise allocations” at the first of the month as many dealers had already been informed by PCNA in April that there would not be any more .1 allocations distributed.

 

Got to test drive a very similar model to mine coming in September. SA says they only getting “undefined” 911’s for 25 now. Last batch was all 2025.

 

If the 992.1 is the last Carrera S manual, it will retain its value very well. Look at the 997 Turbo manuals.

I am hoping the 992.2 S and GTS models with just the 48V e-turbo (I assume these would be the 48V version of the e-turbo) will have a manual available. I see no reason why the e-turbo cars couldn't easily integrate a manual transmission. I personally want to purchase a 992.2 S with a manual transmission in the future. The e-turbo system sounds very exciting and if executed well I think it could be a smash hit. I could understand not having a manual available in the 'Super-GTS' with the 400V e-turbo and electric motor up front. The rumored 992.2 rwd Turbo with a manual also sounds interesting.

Porsche did also design the 992.1 PDK to integrate an electric motor in with the transmission for the 'future hybrid system'. I am not hearing much on that at all from all these rumors. Maybe that idea got scrapped or it is still somehow going happening. May 28th is 11 days away.

 

You also realize if the car shows up I don’t have to buy it and get my deposit refunded.

So what’s there to lose?

 

Of course. And yet you still have people here saying ADMs are going away or gone. Keep dreaming.

 

Wait till you hear about the way Ferrari increases prices.... I had a roma spider order allocation and the numbers got a wee bit crazy.

 

I'm guessing the 992.2 price increase will mirror that of the new Cayenne.

~6k across the board, with perhaps the top end models like the TT/TTS seeing a 10k increase

.

 

My SA is guessing the same thing, he is saying that usually there is a 5K to 7K increase per year no mater what, however it might reach 10K in some rare cases.

 

This is the quote. Reminds me of something the Emperor from Star Wars would say. A low key arrogant statement. Can’t wait for this putz to get fired.

 

And with this, some downshift a model. Want a Cayenne Turbo? Go Cayenne S. Want a 992 TTS? Go GTS.

 

This garbage will be a deal breaker on a 911 for me. A major miss if they implement what it looks like on the Cayenne. The Cayenne tach used to be great looking.

 

I still think they had to remove the tach to implement next gen CarPlay, but we will find out soon enough.

 

That is highly probable, but I personally do not see that as an advantage. I am old-school as I prefer my sports cars to be low tech and lightweight.

 

I think you are missing the fact that 2024 for cayenne was the facelift. You want to compare 2023 to 2024. For example 2023 cayenne gts to 2025 cayenne gts price increase was $17k. My 2023 was $109k base price and the new one is $127k. Thats almost 16% of price increase. Yes there was no 2024 but thats whats likely to happen to many 911 trims like TTS and GT3 with the facelift.

I’m of the opinion that base to base price increase will be 7% or so with GT3 and TTS doubling that % increase. TTS might be even more than that due to flagship status and I’m sure porsche will come out some outstanding performance figures for it when its unveiled next year.

 

A minimum of a 10% increase is the number of my SA continues to state and he has been with the marque for over 40 years. We’ll see…
