My theory is that manual buyers also tend to keep their cars longer.

The 992.2 T is coming in 2025. Said it before and checked again with a source that's NOT a dealer.

Thanks for your info.

Any idea which quarter of 2025?

Last week, I went to porsche center Aoyama(Japan) and signed a contract for a 718 Cayman GTS 4.0. During that time, the sales manager told me that the Carrera T and Carrera S would be released in the future, but the availability of a manual transmission is still undecided. I mentioned that I would like to make a contract if a manual option is available, and they said it might be announced soon.

I was given the same information by the Porsche insider who anticipated the color palette of 992.2 (which was 90% accurate).

any info about S ?

Now that the larger S/GTS turbos are on the base model, I'm going to predict that when they release the T it will have more horsepower than the base. There's plenty of room between the base and S HP for a bump. Equipped with a manual, this will be a very enticing car.

I'm in the camp that says Porsche won't release the T for another 1.5 to 2 years. The S model is the big seller, so that will probably be next. Question is.....will it have a detuned .2 GTS engine, or a .1 engine with a small bump in power like the base engine.

I would say we won't see an announcement for the 992.2 Carrera T until... Tuesday August 19, 2025...

S (ICE) "was" the big seller. I'm not so sure that will be the case with the 992.2 S which looks like it's gonna be a "detuned GTS" (hybrid).

Since no one outside of Porsche engineers really know what's around the corner...

I'll throw in my prediction...

- 992.2 T will be released in 2025 as a 2026 model with a manual option, standard 388 hp base 3.0, interior and exterior T options ...just like the current T.

- 992.2 S will be released in 2025 as a 2026 model with the 53hp electric motor integrated into the PDK, no manual option and standard base 3.0 with boost higher than the T... should produce 450-460hp

- 992.2 GTS will remain at 532hp with the 3.6 hybrid engine with no manual option

This puts approximately 75 hp between these 3 models using off the shelf parts without having to re-invent the wheel!

Truthfully the above seems like the most logical route.

I (and likely plenty of other 992.1 T owners) would be pretty upset if they launched a 992.2 T for 2025 or even in 2025. The T is not supposed to be a "every year" model. That's part of its appeal to many that buy the T.

Well I'm guessing this is one of the announcements which will be revealed in Monterey: https://www.reddit.com/r/whatisthisc...tarmac_car_id/
It appears to be a one-off project based on the 911 GT1

Jonny Lieberman had mentioned the potential of this at least 2-3x on Spike’s Car Radio.

ipse dixit

Not a Porsche.

A restomod of some sort, though not sure from who.

The usual suspects, RUF, Singer, Tuhill, etc. all have denied ownership, but who knows for sure if they are being forthright.

But, yes, Porsche has denied it's their product. And they ain't lying about it.

Telltale sign? No Porsche badges or emblems.
