Did not need a 992 Porsche, so thanks Porsche for saving me around a quarter million dollars!

Sooo glad I purchased my 1986 911 Targa last fall, instead of continuing to wait only for my 992 vehicle!
Similar here. Bought a 997.2 Targa while I wait for my 992.2 GTS. When the news broke that it was going to be PDK only, I switched to a 992 TTS and best thing I could have done. If I’m going to have an auto, it’ll be the fastest auto.

I am now waiting for the rumored manual TT.

Look into a 991.2 Targa....seems to be quite a few more available than 992.2, and in manual -

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.

the gts is easily the worst value in the lineup. Basically an overoptioned carrera s with a bunch of useless gimmicks. If you want more speed and aggression go turbo or gt cars. If you want sport/track focus go carrera t. Otherwise carrera s is the right mid point, not gts. I think they are going in the wrong direction ala bmw and offering too mant trims. Give the carrera s the sound of the gts, get rid of the gts and base carrera and keep the following:

Carrera T
Carrera S
Turbo S
GT3
GT3 Touring

I came from a 997 with aftermarket exhaust, a 991.1 S with PSE and. 992.1S with titanium exhaust. Saying the hybrid sounds better than the factory base is like saying hot dogs are better than boloney to a steak lover. Ha ha.

Dude, thats terrible.

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!

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.
