992.2 announcement coming soon? See pic.
BTW, I was informed yesterday that our dealer principal saw the face lifted car, without any camouflage while he was in Shanghai for the Macan EV reveal as well as the annual dealer council meeting. |

It feels like Porsche will justify the added performance of mild hybrid. And that means 8 speed PDK only, doesn’t it?

I've read that the base car may not get the hybrid set up and therefore could continue as the 'purist' manual option. Time will tell.

BTW, While the base engine might be enough for most, I can report it is not for me. I need more zip! In other news, my selling dealer has extended an offer to purchase my T back. We will see… I am currently mulling it over with 6XX miles behind the wheel. Edit: While I like it, I am not in love with it unlike my base 997.2. At this juncture, I do not believe I am ever going to fully warm up to it. I may have previously stated this, but I truly feel that the 997.2 is the pinnacle for the water cooled 911.

I have repeatedly read that the S is where one wants to be if they desire the power and a manual. I wish Lemming would take delivery soon to confirm as it might be too late… The T and I have gone our separate ways. I have very recently inquired about getting an S and was told no more .1 allocations. It will have to be a .2 and there are tons of unknowns like 48v and the possibility of no manual. The absence of the analog tachometer would probably bother me too, but I would eventually get over it. Edit: As a refresher, I originally wanted an S allocation, but they are highly desirable, therefore difficult to come by. The T was a way to get my foot in the door with my dealer as a first time new Porsche owner. Last edited by SCA; 04-26-2024 at 12:43 PM. |

at least the gauge still has a hood. I was watching an YT video of the new Macan EV and it is now hood less. What the hell is the point of it? seems like a style thing but looks odd to me.

Not yet, the offer was presented late yesterday after. They need cars and I happen to own one that I am not totally in love with. I am told via their preowned mgr that it is a good time to get out if that is what I want to do. |
