I don't understand.
There will be the 992.2 turbo(model) rwd as an option or what? Or only awd just like the 992.1?
And the second question , how to charge the hybrid 992. 2?
The third question. What about the road noise. Have they worked on it? Everybody was complaining abut how loud the car was from the cabin.

It's not a PHEV, you don't charge it, is uses kinetic energy recovery systems to charge the battery. Actually that's a good question - what is this THEV doing, just using exhaust gases to spin a charging unit?

The battery is the Varta V4Drive and more specifically the V4D2170 cell.

Yes this is the e-turbo.

Was hoping to keep my Targa GTS due August and not have to trade it in for next model GT3, but with all that's going on about new tech, I'm worried that may not be an option 😥. Porsche pricing seems to moving into Lambo/Aston/Ferrari stratosphere.

No kidding. If just the S is 520 Hp and hybrid I bet it’ll be $180K or so pre tax for a decently optioned one. That’s a bit absurd imo. But I guess the days of the 911 as the “obtainable” super car are over.

The "problem" though that these are the options for the next year or so:
992.1 production is stopping very soon.
So there are currently only the following choices:
1) 2024 Around 400bhp Carrera (Base)
2) 2024 541bhp mild hybrid GTS - maybe even 2025 delivery for US?
3) Early 2025 520bhp mild hybrid Carrera S
4) Early 2025 NA GT3
5) Hybrid Turbo but manual option (2WD) - not sure when

Do all of the car magazines (Autocar, Car and Driver, Motortrend, etc.) have everything wrong/misinformed. I’m definitely confused as to what the S is going to be performance and price wise compared to the GTS or the base.

I thought the same thing. That is a very large difference between the base and S. I don’t see why they would do this. I had the impression that Porsche was going to further differentiate the GTS from the S and that it would come closer to the Turbo models than the base or the S.

So the same e-Turbo unit provides generation/charger during periods where added engine performance isn't being called for, and then runs off the battery pack to provide added boost when needed? I wonder if the dash is going to have lamps to indicate the charging and harvesting cycles that the unit is in? They need that, gives a Formula 1 feel to the whole experience.

So, to be clear... there is no hybrid motor in the drivetrain per-se in any of these hybrid models? Instead the turbos are electrically powered to provide NA-like throttle response from a turbocharged powerplant?
Neato. I guess they found the mole with that car & driver report that there would be a model with a front e-motor and rear ICE...

They are able to achieve this level of performance increase just from an electric turbo?
