You mean 992.1? Porsche tests cars exactly as they come out of the assembly line.

As per press release:

The beginning of the end is here - ZERO interest in a hybrid 911. Obviously that means no more manuals on this version.

22992

I won't be surprised if the GTS comes with Cup 2's instead PS4S with those times.

May 28th will be interesting to finally learn what versions/configurations will be available. We had enough speculations, for sure. I am particular keen to learn if there will be a base or whatever version that sticks with ICE only or if the 992.1 is truly the last generation of its kind. If so, I sure would love me a T.

Exactly what I meant!

... until all the breathless prose on the 'torque fill' or the hybrid begins to fill our feeds..

How many times has this been shouted since the Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung (Frankfurt Motor Show) in Frankfurt in September 1963, with the launch of the 901?

WHEN AM I EVER GOING TO NEED TO USE THIS IN LIFE?

When calculating which 911 model Porsche tested.

Ah, if true, a single turbo, with electronic (spool) assist, could be quite interesting. It could basically have the response of a normally aspirated motor off the line, and the flat torque of a turbo through the rev band. And, a single turbo should also noticeably change the exhaust note. If the rest of the motor is unchanged, I don’t see why Porsche cannot offer a manual as an option on such a motor.

ipse dixit

I think in the entire automotive universe, only Porsche has that extreme level of fascination and myopic focus on Ring times.

They essentially build cars to a specific Ring time.

Other marques care, but their level of interest compared to Porsche's is like comparing a pothole to the Grand Canyon.

220 lbs weight penalty negates almost half of the claimed power bump. When you factor this in, the power bump is around 6-7% which is inline with prior gen increases. I believe they have bumped the power 5.5-6% on paper but they did reduce the weight at times (or allowed car to be configured in a way that allows weight reduction).

Wait, am I to understand there will be no ICE only 992 GTS available? That be the case I'll be burried in my current one.

No ICE only GTS and Turbo S.

No manuals either is my guess. And I think we can throw out the naturally aspirated GTS rumor as well - this is certainly turbocharged.

I just hope they don't use archaic Li-Ion batteries and go with super capacitors ala Sian.
