Will the base model of Porsche 992.2 return to NA?

Rumor story about Porsche 992.2

I try not to write on this blog as much as possible, even if I tweet about spy shots and other rumored things whose sources are not official.

… But I wrote a little about what I was interested in, so I will write it again this time because it is “a little interesting” ^ ^

The source is the speculation from the spy shot and the "story of the people involved, although I can't say the name" that often appears when talking about such content (laughs), so you can read it to the extent that it's still a rumor. Fortunately.

Porsche 992 Face Lift Version (992.2 Carrera)

This spy shot is a facelift version of 992 that will be Porsche 992.2 that was tested in the snow.

As far as the display of the instruments in the car is somehow seen from the outside, it seems that it is fully digitized (it seems that some versions may have been witnessed, so of course which one will be the final I don't know).

Looking at the design, the front air intake part is vertical, similar to the 992.2 turbo where the spy shot was taken a while ago.

This is a spy shot of the 992.2 Porsche 911 Turbo taken in January this year ↓

I don't know if it's an active slats because it hasn't been confirmed to work, but it feels like "this works, right?"

It seems that there are many parts that I want to hide about the daytime running lights and the turn signal area, and the lights currently attached are probably only for testing (to run in the snow), and this is not the case in production.

You can also see a lot of changes in the air outlet part on the engine cover at the rear (of course it is camouflaged so it is not as you see it).

If you look closely, the wheels are different for all wheels and rear wheels.

The front is like a spider wheel and the rear is like a Cayenne? ??

992.2 Porsche 911 Carrera returns to naturally aspirated ... maybe

And the reason why I decided to post this spy shot is that this time according to "a story from a Porsche related source with Weissach" (← this is suspicious, but I like it a little (laugh)), huh? Well, the time face lift version of Porsche 911 Carrera, that is, the 992.2 type base model is "planned to return to NA (naturally aspirated)".

Eh. come here? Maybe it's a hybrid?

This is a spy shot when the hybrid version of 992.2 Porsche 911 Turbo was being tested ↓

No, I'm still not sure if it will be a hybrid, but the new thing that has begun to be said this time is that the engine used in the Cayman GT4 etc. will be installed in the 992.2 Carrera.

It is speculated that it is a 4-liter NA engine because the exhaust is very similar to the 718 models GTS 4.0, GT4, GT4 RS, and spider models.

In the 992 generation up to this stage, the 4-liter NA horizontally opposed 6-cylinder engine is to be installed in the 992 GT3 and the upcoming 992 GT3 RS, that is, it is only used in "GT cars". not.

It is said that it will change from 992.2, and from the 992.2 generation, a 4-liter NA horizontally opposed 6-cylinder engine will be adopted for models that are not GT cars.

He said yes and even said that "I bought two sets in case I failed to put them on, but one shot worked fine, so I have one left over, Why don't you take it"

Who is talking about that? ?? … Ah, it was a story from a Porsche official in Weissach (laughs).

I'm suspicious, but what's the truth?

For the time being, there are various rumors, so at this stage Porsche 992.2 Carrera may be

• 4-liter naturally aspirated (NA) horizontally opposed 6-cylinder engine model
• Model with turbocharger
• Hybrid model

It is also said that there are three types of. There are many.

It is said that the 992.2 Carrera will be announced (released) in 2023, and it may be around the same time as the Porsche 911 Dakar (originally called Safari), which is now rumored to be another one. That is.
