Surprised to hear that Porsche would produce two different hybrid systems for the 911 as speculated/reported in the C & D article. Assume Porsche would concentrate on one hybrid system for the 911 for engineering, cost and production efficiency. I could be wrong.

But I do see some people questioning the value when there are some pretty good cars up there in the 200’s. I know I wouldn’t be a GTS buyer at 200. For a bit more you can get into something truly special.

First to be "announced" will be the Carrera and the GTS.

I have spent the better part of my career working with PE funds, VCs and other private investors and they are as concerned - or more - with performance than the "market". While you may have fewer voices in a private company, they tend to be much, much louder and more demanding. I am not saying that public companies are not under pressure to post good numbers (they certainly are), but that pressure isn't more than with privates. You only need to sit through one board meeting with PE firm appointed directors to understand.

So, while I agree that Porsche makes decisions to make its shareholders happy - after all, that is the purpose of a corporation in capitalism - I don't think those decisions are different or worse just because they went public.

Several folks here want to believe that Porsche will engineer a manual mild hybrid but I don't believe it. I'll believe it when I see it....I've never read anything about the manual transmissions engineered to accommodate a hybrid set up such as the 8 speed PDK. And that goes back years since 2018... I am willing to bet the Base Carrera and T if there is another T will be the sole manual Carreras (I doubt if Porsche will remove manuals all together especially for the important US market). The GT cars are a different story all together because they still use the old 7 speed PDK from the 991.
