You may not be the person with direct access maybe you truly have a friend who is that person (in which case you are absolutely playing with another person’s job - would he approve of you doing this?), but what you just posted is not believable at all.

And you are in Germany? Really? Germans use dollars? You seem to be very accustomed to $200k sale price of 911s that are unique to US and know the price point of these cars. A German or an American living there would speak in EUR. Plus your grammar and overall tone/construction of your sentences really sound like you are from US. Germans who speak english dont really form these sentences you do. The punctuation, sarcasm, etc dont add up.

And as of this post its almost 3am in Germany and you are posting to rennlist? That doesnt sound right and if you are really in Germany (maybe an American in Germany), you should try to get some sleep. None of what gets posted here is worth being up at 3am.
man this is getting serious, it’s not a big deal, enjoy the information/ speculation. No one is losing job based on this.

Seriously. It’s a car. Silversurfer seems extremely credible and is helping out random internet dudes.

If Porsche was concerned, it would already be stopped.

Yeah I am doubtful that we will really see a full hybrid with an electric motor up front at this May 2024 event. Frank Moser was saying it was still a couple years away only about 6 months ago. This e-turbo has me excited though. Maybe just the e-turbo is what will be in this GTS release, and it will be the “super-GTS” that comes latter with the full hybrid including electric motor. From that perspective, it would make sense to release the GTS first and then ‘trickle down’ the e-turbo tech to S later (like 2025).

I’m not sure what to call a car with a 400V battery electric turbo. It’s not really a full hybrid since it can’t propel itself on electric only and it’s not a mild hybrid since it will be nothing like that and doesn’t use a lower 48V system. Maybe just e-turbo hybrid makes sense. This is all very interesting.

SAs don’t work for Porsche. They work for dealers.

I have been following rennlist since 997.1 days and I dont ever remember as specific leaks as he posted down to the power figures, trim levels, manual option in a Turbo etc. As I said, he may not be penalized harshly but at least may loose access to such information in the future. Because either he is just making **** up OR he is spot on 100%. If he is spot on 100%, he must have confidential access that even dealer principals dont have (or didnt have until a month ago). My GM went to stuttgart to see the prototype but wasnt told any of this info he posted here.
I don’t think your GM would like to know the nonsense you’re stirring up on here, would he?

We have dealer principals, sales managers, PAG employees, test fleet drivers who post here, not once I have seen as detailed and blatant release of information in breach of NDA.

So if you are right (and thats absolutely possible), you are pissing people off. PAG doesnt like this at all and dont leak information this way.
Stop being such a Karen. You are disrupting this thread that 99.9% are enjoying very much.

You aren’t adding anything of value to the upcoming 992.2 details which is what this thread is about.

Open a new thread with your concerns and discuss it there. Everyone here will appreciate that.

It seems on this 992.2 car they have moved the exhaust tips closer to the center, more similar to how 991.2 was. The one thing I disliked about my 991.2 rear was the gap tooth looking exhaust tip placement. To me it is much improved on 992. I'm surprised they moved it back toward center. It in no way looks like the GT exhausts when you have extra space between the tips.
