edit: if Shade Green is available as a standard color, aren't all the S/T and Dakar folks going to be upset?[/QUOTE]


some people pay $840 for GT silver and S/T buyers pay $4,220 for GT silver. I don’t get Porsche sometimes on paint and options pricing.

Except only a very small percentage of allocations are PTS-approved.

I agree. Although I did not find the 992.1 standard pallete all that exciting.

Shade green is cool. But 992 deserves a real green.

It will be interesting to see how it plays out. There is a long line to pay another price hike and play the 992.2 guinea pig. I may have to sit this round out. Wishing the best for those who pull the trigger, though.

JamesPorter911

yea I agree, IF we are talking about a 3.6L NA Hybrid engine pushing 530+ HP in the GTS, there will be 10%+ price increase.

The base Carrera and S trims I don’t see more than a 6-7% increase coming.

Either way, I’m with you, I think taking a late 992.1 allocation is the right move. If nothing more, you can enjoy it for a little while, and use the trade power to help pick up a .2 allocation year or two down the road. Let them work out any kinks and pick up a 2026 build. Or you can keep one of the last manual cars in your stable for many years and watch it appreciate over time.

I do have an allocation for a GTS that will supposedly lock in June but depending on the announcement tomorrow I will probably cancel it. I think it makes sense to wait a bit and see the tech differences to the carrera s and the turbo.

JamesPorter911

Your allocation that locks in June is for a 992.1 GTS right? So you’re thinking you might cancel it, and take a 992.2 Carrera S instead? I too have a June lock date for a GTS.

silversurfer6

No the .2 one. I have made a mistake though, base car was locking in June, changed it to gts 4 cabrio - lock is July as I have been told for August/Sept production. This was 3 weeks ago - maybe there is a new email with more delays but I have not heard anything.

Can’t deny progress. I’m sure by what can be measured it will be a better car. And no one really complains about hybrid on Ferrari, McLaren, and even with the older 918 it was admired. I’m sure Porsche have nailed it.

Noting that, design changes can be tricky. Spy shot front didn’t quite do it, and the lights look a little squinty. Probably better in person. There’s no replacing the analog tach though

JamesPorter911

The timeline pictured is for a 2024 992.1 4 GTS Targa. Clearly 992.1 GTS cars will still be on the production line through the end of August.

With this info, I can’t see any 992.2 GTS models being built at the factory before September/October

silversurfer6

I have no idea but I agree September production is a safer bet for the GTS

What about the base? Does anybody have one (.1) that will be produced in July/August?

Allocation for .2 were certainly provided for July production - at least for base. This does not mean that they have or will not move them forward a couple of months.

JamesPorter911

Im curious too, I don’t think anyone has actually received an allocation for a .2 and submitted a build that’s been accepted. So there is likely no actual .2 build dates confirmed yet.

There is a chance that they will have .2 and .1 911 on the assembly line at the same time though. I was at the factory on September 19, 2019 and I remember seeing 991.2 Speedsters coming down the line along with 992’s.

CM991

I can’t wait until tomorrow and the 300 new replies this thread will have. Fun times ahead.

PSPorsche

LOL. If I like the newer car better after it is released, the analog tach on my new 992.1 will be my consolation!
