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.

There's likely some kind of glitch in the configurator. When I ordered mine, it was as you described where it was sport chrono only on the base.

Today, it shows both the sport chrono and the digital tach changing. No clue if it's a glitch or an actual change.

Was looking more into it. Porsche Germany already has base .2’s in inventory photos. The fronts are 6 piston
Unless my eyes are deceiving me ….

Already a decent amount of used 992.2s in Germany...some with as many as 10k miles

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.

And, here’s a zoomed in picture from the review above showing the 6-piston front caliper.

But they still have to give it a "poor" black finish because... base!
