It is difficult to know if any car purchase right now is tenable as an investment because it’s so frothy. I think this will not meet that criterion. The homer in me still says yes? It’s a 2 year wait for a 992TT and even now, it’s not guaranteed that it will be hybrid-free. By the time you get your allocation, it’s highly likely the 992.2TT is a hybrid turbo. And it’s not clear that anyone wants this.

So you could argue buying a 992TT now at the market, which is 300,000 is fine. You enjoy it and sell it and sell it for basically what you paid for it.

I think it’s unwieldy though, to act like this isn’t an egregious amount of money for a car. Except for the paragraph above, it’s quite scary as a proposition.
I don't see what's wrong with a hybrid 992TT. It's PDK only, and all about insane numbers. A hybrid one will be even more insane.
