So a slower Turbo than what we have, boring...

A manual is nothing I want near my Turbo. I can't even manually hit the first few gears properly.

Sorry, not much help, just a manual turbo is not something special in my mind.

Lets crank up the boost and throw on some lightweight parts, now we are talking!

Mmm. I thought that was allegedly the 992.2 Turbo, early next year, not a limited edition.

I was under the same impression.
I believe they are still producing the 992.1 Turbo as a 2025 MY so it would make sense for the "Anniversary" to be a sent-off version of the outgoing 992.1, like the Exclusive Edition Turbo S was, the last 500 cars of the 991 Turbo.

Just my speculation.

You are mixing things. The manual RWD is the 992.2 Turbo.

They never said they wouldn’t replicate the SC. They did make a big deal of saying they wouldn’t replicate the SC’s double bubble during the unveiling.

Just for reference, the Paris Motor Show will be held from October 14 to the 20.

It will mark the 50th anniversary from the presentation of the original Turbo 930.

Yes this is the correct info - the manual RWD Turbo is a new car from the 992.2 lineup and it is not a numbered car.
