Edit: The YouTube link that the OP posted is dealer propaganda. I guarantee they do not know any more than we do as that is the standard within the dealer industry itself.
Within the U.S. it was approx 15-20% for the S. Savagegeese has previously stated this information as it was provided directly to them via PCNA during a 992.2 press event.

No way that will happen. Someone posted (FWIW) that the MT take rate on the T is only 70%. Imagine that - the only non-GT that has an available MT and the take rate is just 70%. IMO the only reason to buy at T is the MT. They’re underpowered and a well optioned T weighs just as much as a lightly optioned S.
Maybe somebody else here knows for sure, but my understanding is the MT in the T is not the same (read: as stout) as the one in the GT. If that’s true and the T take rate is only 70%, I can’t see Porsche putting any additional development cost into strengthening it and therefore the T won’t be getting any significant step up in HP.
Thats my logic, yours may vary.

Edit - I see Mikesarge beat me to it. Buy whatever floats your boat, but don't post misinformation.

Also, the fact that the MT is no longer offered in the 992.2S is proof enough that demand was not high enough to justify it. Why would Porsche suddenly turn around and offer MT in the next year or two?

The only reason I tried to believe was that 3.0 is the only engine in the line up, current T’s MT can be paired with, without doing any additional development by Porsche which made sense.

Except this information didn't come from a dealership, it came from a presentation from PCNA and PCA when the 992.2 was released.
Note that I said the take rate was less than 10% WORLDWIDE, so the US take rate has already been averaged into that number. I don't disagree with you that it was 15-20% in the US, but Porsche isn't going to continue to offer MTs just because the US market demands it.

The aforementioned dealer propaganda is via the YouTube link that the OP posted. The three individuals in that video are associated with Porsche Denver West. The manual take rate intel Savagegeese previously provided was via Porsche Cars North American (PCNA) at a Press Event.
Note, I was never advocating that a manual was going to be offered on a 992.2 S, quite the opposite.
OP ⬇️
They talk about a manual S coming in 2027, is their any credibility to that rumor.

Are you sure about the EV abandonment thing? Looks like the Cayenne EV will be here mid summer. BYD exported 1M EV units in 2025 and are tracking to export 2M units in 2026. If Porsche abandons the EV market,, it will be bad for 911 buyers.
