Yep, it is fairly common knowledge. It is greatly underrated in typical German fashion.

Thought I would answer here —since it’s a mainstream thread.

I got the TYD email already today.

You suck. #jealous. The sales guy my PCA president recommended didn't even reply to my last inquiry.

Re: C2S cab

Confused… I was under the impression it was a 992.1 T per your post in the 991 T thread.

I was thinking about a 992 Carrera T. But it makes less sense given that Ibjave the earlier version.


But it was really between a Turbo Cab or a C2S Cab —the manual transmission dictated what car I requested.


I was not in any rush, and was/am happy to wait. But now it’s a real thing.


I’m as surprised as any of you. But happy.

Nice! Congrats… keep us posted on your specs.

With the way things are currently going you will probably get your 992 before me.

You should order my spec, then see it to me when you're tired of it. ��

Definitely ideal, but there is an issue, by the time Lemming’s is built Aventurine Green will have been discontinued.

It is highly likely Lemming’s C2S will be one of the last 992.1s built. This has the potential to work out well if the dot two C2S actually ends up having 48v mild hybridization and no manual because of it. After all this is the current rumor as to how it is going to play out. Minor to some and major to others, but the analog tach is gone as well in the dot two.
