Weight isnt comparable as well, as for example .2 comes with rear seats removed, while they are by custom on .1. To compare the real change (which would prolly be around +100kg) we would have to weight two IDENTICALLY configured cars.

The whole turning the key fob on the left was something special to me. While I like the start button on my M2, I’m not expecting it from my BMW. I am disappointed they also started charging for Guard Red, but not charging for white or black. It seems the interior is slightly cheapened overall. My 991.2S is now a relic lol.

Turning radius is nothing surprising, 992.2 comes with rear axle steering as standard, while .1 doesnt. With RAS added they will have same radius.

The weight gain on a turbo s will be around 70-80kg instead of 50 kg due to back seats, not one but two e turbos. When this is taken into account, it needs a 675 hp to break even. 710 hp sounds like such a small improvement considering the current TTS already has insane traction with AWD. New TTS will probably cost $25k more. You can spend 1/7th of that and tune the current car for 800hp. Having owned multiple TTS, I can say without a doubt the TTS in its current form is so fast that you are not using even 20% of the power 99% of the time.
I am also really really REALLY doubtful lol that newer hybrid porsche will be tuneable without breaking stuff. The e motor may not play nice with tune and I cant even imagine the cost to replace one out of warranty.

The T-hybrid was mainly done to continue to offer ice performance with quicker response but importantly to comply with more stringent emissions standards not just idle and slow loops but through higher performance range where current offerings aren't so clean running. So it's not just all about power and torque improvements.

I just saw the new car on the configurator and the front and rear treatments look much improved to my eye, both in sport fascia and non. Significantly better design I think.
I also can no longer access my build code for a 2024 T order.
