Looks like the base Carrera is the model to go for, without the hybrid gimmicks, with IMO more consistent styling. Also the hybrid engine doesn't sound as good as the 3.0 litre one. It's plenty fast but of if you're after performance then go for GTS. Don't see any other reasons to go for GTS. More expensive and heavier.

Somebody pointed out this ledge and now I can’t un-see it. Looks like an underbite to me and the Porsche lettering seems to be integrated more poorly than before in the tail lights. Need to see it in person but to me the tails might be my least favorite design aspect with the update. Most other aspects I think will likely age well.
I just rewatched the videos and it really stands out. I like the new front, meh for the exhaust tips (at least make it possible to pick which we can get), but this might be a deal killer for me and i will just stick with 992.1

I cannot say that I agree regarding the standard headlights. I feel the HD Matrix LEDs is a definite requirement.
Edit: OT, Simply out of curiosity do we know with certainty that the 992.2 base car received 48v?

And the Kia has analog physical gauges! Porsche is taking away all the connection to our cars. From starting to driving to parking it and shutting it off. Keeping my 992's for the time being since I can't imagine I'll like the next generation. And my manual GT3 for sure!

Just got done watching the SavageGeese video. One of the better ones.
Question I have for us Track Rats. If Jorge was 100% at the start and close to 0 at the end of his 7:20 ish Nurburgring run, what would us mere mortals experience over a 25 minute HPDE? How do we then get the battery back to 100%?
And then repeat the session 1.5 hours later for another 25 minutes.
Thoughts?

The extra power does not necessarily from the battery. There is no wastegates for the turbo, which means all of the excess energy from the turbo’s exhaust turbine that is not used to boost the intake charge is fed to either recharging the battery or to the drive motor in the PDK.
