Only if the ICE was a flat six and came with a manual option.

"hybrid" definition = ICE engine + battery power, i.e. forthcoming 2025 992.2

I haven't really looked into it much but how reliable have mild hybrid systems been across the industry? I know MB had some serious issues with the 53 engine.

I will wait for more information before deciding, but I'm glad I got a combustion manual rwd 911 while I can.

Electrical systems and german cars have never went hand in hand. I think I'd just wait until after the first year or two. Other than that, I'd prefer non-hybrid, but its not a deal killer for me.

As I already have a 992, then no…unless it was significantly faster. Pretty sure it will be significantly more money than what I paid for my 992S, or could get in re-sale, and for the most part, expect it to look almost identical to what I have. So, for me to jump, there has to be a good reason?

Happy as Hell with key current 992, so see no need.

Besides, it’s usually best to wait a year or two, to make sure most of the kinks are ironed out.

As for me, I'm not interested in any form of hybrid regardless of how it's defined or what form of power storage it's using. The 992.1 may be the end of the line for me.

I don't foresee much difference in the "feel" of the power delivery between the rumored "hybrid" Carrera and the current turbocharged Carrera models so I would consider buying one if it drove well.

Agreed. On both accounts.
