Or they’ll fix it on the GT cars and sell them at a 50 percent markup

I am not a fan of taking the front turn signals and putting them in the headlights. Something so small seems so significant to me. I do prefer an analog tachometer, but like everyone else I think it would be easy to overcome.


Edit: So… the intentionally drawn red circle is bringing attention to multiple batteries stacked indicating that this specific 992.2 has hybridization.

Strange there's no mention of whether the ICE will be NA or turbocharged? Guessing the base engine will remain largely the same since the power output increases modestly over the current gen and lacks hybrid assist. But hopefully the hybrid versions will pair an electric motor with an NA ice for the best of both worlds.

I think you're being overly pessismistic; that's not how Porsche does things. My guess is that we'll pleasantly surprised at how little weight they add.

Given the SW bugs the face lifted Cayenne and Cayenne Coupe have had, I would not immediately jump on the 992.2 bandwagon as I suspect it will be much of the same.
