Can't wait to hear what that high voltage battery will cost to replace in a few years. Considering the regular 12V lithium battery in the RWS 992.1 costs, what, $2k? There is already a doomsday problem with the current gen hybrid supercars with 5 figure replacement costs after their hybrid battery dies.
Just one time I would love a reveal video to discuss repair or replacement costs, or how efforts were made to mitigate them. It's always celebrating a .2 second faster 0-60 but what goes unsaid is repair costs went up 20%.

Looks like it's trying to hit tighter emissions?

Porsche also revealed the base 992.2 Carrera with a much more modest powertrain evolution. It retains the 9A2B6 engine, but also adopts the Lambda 1 philosophy to reduce full power exhaust emissions. In this case, peak boost rises from 12.0 to 17.4 psi—higher than the 992.1 Carrera S. To provide this much airflow, the engine gets the larger turbochargers used on the previous S and GTS, as well as the bigger intercooler from the 911 Turbo. Peak power rises modestly, from 379 to 388 horsepower, still at 6500 rpm, and peak torque is unchanged at 331 pound-feet.
But I agree it seems odd that boost goes up with larger turbochargers that are better cooling and HP gains modest.

By the time the 994 rolls around, that same battery will be half the size and half the weight.

Additional Takeaways:
A base build similar to my 2023 C2 is now $152.7k vs $138.0k
A GTS built similar to my 2024 C2S is now $190k vs 174k
- Extended Fuel Tank is Smaller
- ACC is now included in the Premium Package
- Ionizer is now included in the Premium Package
- Homelink is now physical buttons on the mirror
- It looks like they might the cluster narrower with the full digital display so you could actually see it all rather than just 3 out of the 5 pods.
- On the GTS, you can select the color of the tach, so it looks like you should be able to get it coded to whatever color you want.
