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.

I still have to get used to adding the 'dot one' to my 992. For the last 2 years I've simply owned '992's'.

995

Any info if the US now gets the OPF, like the Europe.

I don't think anyone probably knows that because there wasn't a US specific press release or announcement or spec sheet. It's kind of hard to tell what I'm looking at here in the engine photo cut away but it kind of looks like the cats coming immediately off of the turbo straight into a muffler type system that appears to have some sort of OPF type material?

Does anyone know when we will start seeing more reviews of the car and driving experience? It seems like there is still an embargo on that🥲

Professional how? I don't see his bio/resume anywhere. Seems to me there are YouTubers out there trying to copy Frank Stephenson, who has a proven history. If you like his design or not.

I’ll take fake analog dials over the video game sh*t BMW is doing right now any day. But that being said - I still strongly prefer analog dials period.

I could do without the standard RAS. Interesting article on the new engine. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a6...ngine-details/

Thanks!

That muffler is very strange still curious on where the air filter is

Whats the black plastic piece above the intercooler?

Not happening as the automotive press is not going to Spain to drive them until late June. The press embargo will not expire for another 2 to 3 months after that.

My source = Spike’s Car Radio, more specifically Jonny Lieberman with Motor Trend whom has been invited via Porsche to attend the event.

Good luck with the aftermarket exhaust system on this one. Personally I could not find a decent exhaust video of the stock system.

I've put "simple" bolt on mods on all my cars. I don't think I would even think about touching this 3.6 with a single mod. Between the nuances of transmission and the elimination of the serpentine belt, and the integration of the exhaust components, seems much more complicated. And I wouldn't trust a "simple" exhaust mod, not getting blamed, if something goes wrong down the line. And in year one or two, something will be going wrong in these cars. Just teething. Hell, the 991.2 water pump took like 4 years to figure out! Now you can't even see the water pump...
