Porsche's money-milking is really getting out of hands, when 4-5000 €/USD costing Sport Design bumper upgrade means basically painting the same bumper into different color (which seems to be the case with the rear and the sides) and/or adding some minor inserts in addition (the case with the front). I noticed similar trend with Panamera but this really isn't worthwhile anymore...
Some might call it blatant underappreciation of one's customers!
And the worst things is this is not the only similar change on the option list.
P.S. My GTS (992.1-->992.2) base price just increased over 40k€ and then they ask this kind of money for nonsensical option "upgrades"..

So much potential here. Seems like there will be some Base+ model (T?) that will utilize all the power.

It’s not hard to get a GTS well into GT3 money, which is a little excessive imo

Perspective, my 2023 build Carrera with same options is now $9,000 more.
Further perspective, I recently bought a fully loaded Toyota GR86 with a manual trans, rear wheel drive, LSD, 500 lbs lighter than a 911, for $32k. I could buy 4 of them for the same price as a base Carrera. At some point the porsche tax makes a head spin.

I think the Carrera S will be hybrid also, so no manual. The most likely case is they will make a base manual T as per 992.1, and special edition manuals like the 911 S/T which will be $$$$, and maybe a manual GT3, but with the GTS making so much power hard to believe the GT3 will still be NA only.
I also think Porsche is raising prices and 911s will be more rare and special due to cost like the late 80's early 90s, where I think they reached their highest price inflation adjusted until now.

Anybody has found more technical details on the T-Hybrid system and how it works exactly?
Based on what i viewed this should be 400V, not 48V. Anybody found any tech info on this?
I think would be extremely beneficial to find more info and concentrate on this since this is the huge change. This T-Hybrid tech is also the one that will be used in the S and the Turbo S.

There is no chance they engineer a manual transmission for the 992.2 just for a T. There's no return on investment for them on that. It would have to be for the S as well.
My gut says manual will be GT cars only...

USA configurator is now only showing .2 Carreras....immediately after the launch this morning 992.1 and 992.2 were showing ability to configure.
Now the 992.1 Base, T and GTS look to have been removed.

The T will use same engine as 992.1 - nothing to reengineer.

No mention of the other non-GT models or GT models...
But I hear the "S" will be released Q1 2025...the "T" is usually towards the end of the model line, so we are a bit away from that (possibly 2025 as a 2026 model?).
I assume GT and Turbos will sprinkle out Q3 and Q4 2025.
