As predicted Racing Yellow and Shark Blue have been removed from the U.S. configurator on March 15th as dealers were instructed months ago. I suppose we will see Ruby Star Neo pulled next month as it scheduled to go NLA as well.

Can't say I'm brokenhearted about Ruby Star...

Not sure, but i've seen more PTS cars at Porsche Warrington (one of my locals), than any other dealer. They seem to have 'connections'

cue SCA scolding me that this isn't possible.

Well.

I’d love to understand how it’s possible then.

Can’t complain if we are getting the cars. But sure would love to know how someone got a 2024 with a PTS color.

Internal info. Note the dot indicators as well as their meaning.

Two things —

Will this be to exclusion of a manual or do we still think we could have manual BEV?

Second, it’s hybrid and not plugin right?

You're talking aobut the 911 I assume? According to the chart SCA posted, it looks like the "mid term" plan is for the 911 to have both ICE and hybrid drivetrain choices. No full BEV. Also no mention about transmission choices. You could have a manual BEV (some EV conversions have this for example), but I really doubt Porsche would offer that. It'd be kind of gimmicky. Anyway it'll be a long time before we see a full BEV 911

As for speculation: I know SCA disagrees, but I still think the 992.2 lineup will include some manuals (though not necessarily on the top spec hybrid aka "Turbo" models is my guess).

Interesting. I wonder if the the ICE 718 will be PDK-only or if they will one day still offer a 6-cylinder NA MT version. Seems pretty unlikely, but who knows?
