Wouldn't 2027 be quite a bit early for a 992.3? The 992.2 just came out in 2025.

Let's see, the 992.1 went from 2019-2024. Using the same math with the .2, that would take the model line from 2025-2030.

I can't imagine the .2 only lasting 3 years or so.

It does seem like the 2027s are running a bit late. I wonder if Leiters is trying to put his touches on a .3 refresh.

Yep, allegedly coming for MY 28/29.

Within the U.S. 992.1 was MY 2020-2024.

During his recent podcast with Spike on Spike’s Car Radio, Andreas Preuninger (Head of Porsche GT division) stated that the whole reason the GT3 S/C came about instead of a new Speedster is because it would have taken them another year to develop the Speedster only leaving them with one year to sell it in Europe given the new emissions regulations that are coming. I am guessing this will also be applicable to everything else that is currently in the pipeline, non-GT included. I also suspect that more t-Hybrids are coming via the .3 if it actually materializes. If that is the actual case, more t-Hybrids for the .3 then the manual is dead. 🪦

With Blume having steeped aside as CEO at PAG and with Leiters at the helm since Jan 1, 2026, there is some major restructuring going on, therefore delaying the 994.

Because SAs have always been a highly reliable source for any internal information. FYI, that is total sarcasm. I will believe it when I see the press release for myself.

Me too, but in this case the same message came from the dealer principal.

Point still stands. Even if a ".3" came out a year early, that would be 2028 which is two years away.

I personally would place more credit in what a GM had to say than a dealer principal and I am speaking from experience having had worked within the auto industry.

Unfortunately one thing is for certain, if/when a .3 does occur, the pricing is going is to be even more nuts than it is now.

I have a T allocation today. If I could swap for a manual S or GTS, I would take it.

The average rennlister knows more about Porsche product pipeline than your SA. They get zero inside info from PCNA. As far as corporate is concerned the SA is there for one reason only and it isn't to hype cars that aren't sitting on the showroom floor for sale.
