992.2 Info

It's not easy to read and note every little detail covered in 150+ pages but I did in fact read every single page in this thread. This is actually the only Rennlist thread that I follow closely every single day but I must have missed the news about the T (note that I'm looking for actual news, not rumors). So far I only read rumors about S and T being available later next year but haven't seen any official statement from Porsche.

M Engineering sells Stage 2 tunes for 992.1S and 992.1 GTS with MT’s. Per M Engineering, the factory OEM dry clutch on the 992.1 with MT is good up to 660 ft. Lbs. torque. I know because I sent them a e mail and asked that exact question. The Sports Classic was built on the TT platform which has 572 hp and 553 ft. Lb. Torque. The TTS platform has 640 hp and 590 ft. Lb. Torque. If a 992.2 TT is ultimately offered RWD with MT, offering a special edition Sport Classic on the TT platform to test the market will be Porsche marketing genius and greatly increase demand for the TT vehicle.
I don’t see any practical reason to limit torque (and therefore power) other than to preserve the less durable transmission. I also strongly suspect emissions/fuel economy prevented them from using the 6 speed, which should be good for 516 pound feet if it’s still the same basic box from the Mezger days.

As of now:
1) If you want a manual put a deposit for a GT3 or the (RWD) Turbo (non S)
2) Carrera S is a T-Hybrid and outputs 510bhp. I think it uses the 3.0L but I will confirm.
Let’s hope there will be more surprises soon but it will not be for cars to be produced in the next 12 months.

The Sport Classic may be built on the TTS platform, but it’s downtuned to 442 pound feet in this car. The amount a tuner is comfortable putting through a component also isn’t the same as the amount Porsche and their suppliers are comfortable covering under warranty.
I don’t see any practical reason to limit torque (and therefore power) other than to preserve the less durable transmission. I also strongly suspect emissions/fuel economy prevented them from using the 6 speed, which should be good for 516 pound feet if it’s still the same basic box from the Mezger days.

Would they really pair the hybrid system with the 3.0? My understanding of the press material was that the new base car gets the higher boost and permanently stoichiometric fuel ratio but none of the hybrid stuff. Maybe I misinterpreted but I took everything they’re saying to mean the 3.0 will be distinct from the hybrid system, which seems tightly integrated with the 3.6 architecture.

Edit: It’s also not the exact same box. The case, I believe, is the same, but the internals are obviously different given the different anatomy of the transmissions. I understand that the case itself is usually the weak link due to lateral forces caused by helical gears, but, again, I see no other practical purpose to limiting torque by such a massive degree.
