Can anyone confirm the accuracy of the statement that you can change the background color of the digital tach? If this is indeed the case why does Porsche offer it as a priced option to change the color of the sport chrono along with the tach?
So currently the 992.2 configurator is showing a $640 charge for Red Chrono in a Base model with Black being standard.
This $640 is to change the Sport chrono analog gauge color only, since the tach is digital.
For the 992.2 GTS, it's a zero charge for Chrono in Red or Silver with Black being standard.
Until we actually see real, (non-press) cars, I'm guessing the Base tach selectable color options will be Black, Red or Silver.
Black, Red and Silver tachs have already been shown on some of the Press car videos.
Chris from The Drive likes the new base 911. Here’s his review - you’ll have to read it vs watch a video, but, with “denial as my wingman” (I had to use this phrase, it’s neat), I prefer reading reviews when I can, since they are few and far between with everything going to YouTube. Kinda like the manual transmission.
I’m guessing the “additional lag” is not mentioned in any reviews as it’s probably imperceptible. If my understanding of “lambda=1” is correct, Porsche is running higher boost to get close to the same power as the .1’s smaller turbos, to maintain responsiveness. Since they don’t have the help of the electric wastegate to cancel lag, higher boost is probably the tool they’re using.
