Check out this thread for speculation that includes the S. The T seems pretty much unknown right now.

The tach is pretty meh. Looks generic. Does it have any foundation from Porsche racing in terms of appearance ?

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.

There's already way too many black/white cars out there. This is not going to help!

I was wondering why they raised the price on the Chrono dial but it's because they bundled a digital dial color to it

If I have to guess, it probably vented out in the middle indentation between the 2 exhaust tip (below the license plate) . That area appears to be fairly deep enough to hide vent(s)

That makes sense given the placement of the larger single intercooler.

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.

Pats911

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.

Oileater

you don’t think the Carrera S will be a detuned T-Hybrid using the same 3.6L format ?

We will know soon enough if silversurfer6 is correct. His 992.2 GTS comments were spot on. It is the exact same 7 speed gear box used in the PDK.

I can't see how they can develop the 3.0 with the eTurbo and everything else, when they can mass produce the 3.6 engine now. That would be a lot of development costs to support two engine platforms with this technology.

Pats911

That wasn’t a reply to a comment from silversurfer6… did I miss something?

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.
