That's only in sports plus mode.

I like the new rear treatment except for the engine decklid, that doesn't look as nice as the .1. I wonder if they will offer a sportdesign engine decklid cover that's more dressed up. Can you even mount grill badges on it now?

Which is what you'd use on the track.

Well maybe the Individual setting now has a configurable option for the battery discharge rate and a minimum value you are willing to let it go to, to balance out people wanting more than just 7 minutes. Similar to an F1 car KERS system - dialed up to the max for a qualifying lap but not for the race.

That's the other thing they should have had for the .2 - a set of KERS lights in the sport chrono face. Sure the PCM has a screen you can stay on to see this, but who wants to look at that. A simple pair of LEDs to indicate when the system is charging/harvesting or discharging to provide electric assist, just like F1 does.

I haven't read anything about them but they seem to be the same as the 992 Carrera S brakes which are 350mm.

Curious about the battery warranty that facilitates the ETurbo and its associated functions. Wonder if it gets an extended warranty like other electric vehicles or just considered as another consumable.

Every time I go into the configurator to design a car I get a little uncomfortable not seeing the analog tach. Its not just nostalgia, its the fact that it was a beautiful piece that visually connected you to the cars engine. I have to imagine some hard core discussions had to happen inside Porsche to decide to remove it. The digital tach just doesn't do it in this car. It is ok in all others but not this one

Your psi assumption is quite understated for the Turbo S. It is around 23 psi in the 992.1. Hence the turbo lag.

after reading the motor trend article. It sounded like higher rpm driving, more exhaust outflow and braking recharges the batteries. I assume the harder you drive on track the more the battery is charged. The lab coat engineers will have it dialed in. We will see after the press drives it on track what they report back. I would assume driving with cruise control on the highway at speed limits would not charge as fast as track use.

sorry, I actually watched the video. Good point, he probably didn’t apply the brake as much as we would. But yes that will be a all out issue for the talented drivers😀 but that is what the gt3 rs are for

You can see what I’m pretty sure is the air box here over the intercooler. It lines up with the compressor outlet in the pic above, and also seems to include a blowoff valve that discharges back into the air box behind where the filter would be.

Edit: and if not there, wouldn't the turbo placement locate the air filter where it is in the current 992 Carrera behind the passenger rear wheel?

Just got back from a great drive in my 992C2S manual

Enjoyed the manual and surprisingly the turn key to start on a clear 80F degree sunny day with twisty roads

Maybe look at it this way as a small consolation prize, as they go away, then there are now two things in the previous versions to help prevent theft in a few years as no one will know how to start the car or drive away.

HA... I will take my reduction in insurance premiums right now

Me no like. Have no interest in the .2. Glad I have a .1 GTS.

Think I am going to buy the new Vantage next year.

You seem to be forgetting the battery is being used a max capacity in these situations. Sure it is charging, but not as fast as it is being depleted, otherwise why would the Porsche engineer say it is zero after a full out lap at the ring? We will see reports from the test drives I'm sure.

Jaye Bass

Porsche reps claimed the battery was completely depleted after 1 lap at The Ring. You are incorrect.
