No manual options in the new cars, but also remember the 992.1 launched PDK only for the first year. not that I think either the base or the GTS will get the manual back.

Removal of the DRL incorporating them into the headlights and the overall change to the front end are both for the worse.

The new exhaust setup looks awful as well.

I have to give it to Porsche price increase and at the same time they are consolidating the part bin (more common part acros different trim) In this case the base bumper and SD bumpers appears to be the same with different "insert".

Here is the picture side by side (taken from the configurator)

Can configure new GTS targa

I like the sport design front bumper on base much better than the old sport design bumper. Standard bumper looks worth though but just my personal taste, maybe.

Wow you can get the door handles that everyone hates painted in gloss black now

I bet that is a configurator issue as sport design is available painted or matte, and side view looks more like 992.1 sports SS. I spent much of yesterday messing around with my painted SS and installed GT3 SS - they're haunting me right now!

wow...talk about the nail on the coffin for the manual. not even in the base 911?

so if the 992.2 base Turbo offers a manual and GT cars con't to offer a manual, we have to spend +200K for a manual 911?? Maybe the S or the T will offer but that will probably be close to 140-50?

this is the crab-in-the-pot play......slowly warming us to PDK only cars.........mark my word

Just checked out the 992.2 Base in the New 992.2 Configurator:

- Must pay extra for any color other than black and white - Guards Red and Yellow now cost extra
-No MT (as expected)
-388 HP (v. 394 stated in press release video but maybe be PS v. HP difference?)
-Rear Seats now a no cost option ?
-Cost of Sport Design Pkg increased by approx. $2k+
-HD Matrix headlights = $1780 option
-extended range fuel tank still $230 !
-Starting MSRP $122,095
-MSRP 2024 992.2 Base configured as close as possible to my 2022 992S but with PDK instead of MT = $148,200
-MSRP 2022 992.1S configured as close as possible but with MT instead of PDK and side skirts = $140,000

Couple takeaways:

1. GTS did go to 3.6L as was rumored. Also hybridized. Surprise: SINGLE TURBO.
2. Base 3.0L looks to be largely a carryover.

I predict a fairly rapid rollout of the "other" models in the coming months including S and Carrera T models, both with manuals available (my prediction). "Turbo/Turbo S" models during summer with twin turbo hybridized powertrain?

Porsche 992.2 Reveal

So I flop so hard, ***** wanna fine me
But first Rennlisters gotta find me
What's 50 grand to a **** like me (deviated stitching and ionizer)?
Can you please remind me?
Flop so hard, this shiz crazy
Y'all don't know that don't shiz faze me
Stuttgart could go 0 for 62 in 1.80

And I look at you like this shiz navy (gentian)
Flop so hard, this grille weird
We ain't even 'posed to park here

Flop so hard, but since we here
It's only right that we'd overcharge
Psycho, I'm liable to go Porsche, take your pick
Ferdinand, Hans, Wolfgang, 1944
Flop so hard, got a broke tach
Chrono that don't tick-tock
Porsche Design that's losing time
Hidden behind all these big (digital) clocks

That shiz cray, That shiz cray. 992.2 price that shiz cray.

Yes. It was quite common knowledge that the 992.2 hybrid in whichever model trim it came to would be without the manual. It is seriously doubted that the GTS with this hybrid will re-introduce the manual transmission. The electric engine in the turbo charger could but not the additional electric engine to the drivetrain. I could be wrong.

The base was also update and has not had a manual. That leaves the reintroduction of the S model as the only potential spot for the manual. (Along with the T potentially).

6sigma

Base Carrera has 388hp and curb weight 3342 lbs. 992.1 is 3354 lbs. Assuming the 992.2 weight is without rear seats as default. No info on motor assist on the base car.

Manual was not available in previous base Carrera either. I'd bet S and Carrera T will be along VERY soon with a manual offering.

Thanks for that link. Here's what I learned, in addition to what we learned earlier this morning:

• RaceTex is now standard, including the headliner.
• PDCC is integrated into the hybrid drivetrain
• It's a single turbo 3.6L motor, with the turbo on the right rear.
• The turbo uses an electric motor between the compressor and turbine wheels.
