    Don't forget that 2020 has another strict regulations implementation...Smiley

    If they introduce it quickly, it is probably to avoid the nightmare which is coming in very near future.Smiley it still remains to be seen as the first mule is only on the road since July 18 and new car footprint required certainly longer than few months to propose a ready solution for the road with usual level of expectation for GT cars.

    It is getting ridiculous with this whole WLTP and emissions stuff... Smiley

    VW Group is to blame, if they would have handled the whole emissions scandal in Europe the same way they handled it in the US, we wouldn't be in this mess. I sometimes really have to wonder why these CEOs earn that much money.

    VW Group put themselves (and other car manufacturers in the process) into the crosshairs of environmental groups and governments. Very very clever. SmileySmileySmiley

    Next month, a very important decision will be taken regarding Diesel cars in Germany and how VW Group (and others) are going to deal with them. Will be pretty interesting but if they are clever, they put tons of money into it to kill this whole scandal. Not sure however how clever they are, so far they didn't do a very good job.

    Emissions regulations should not be frowned upon.

    I drive one of the first petrol cars fitted with particulate filter which is mandatory in the EU as from July 2018.

    After 2.500 km the exhaust pipe is as clean as when the car left the factory without any soot deposits.You can imagine where all these residuals generated by direct injection engines went prior to this regulation.

    Right now, it seems that the 992 won't be in Paris, just the Macan facelift. surprise 

    Funny: According to rumors, even the Macan models shown in Paris won't be available until end of the year or early 2019 because the engines are still from Audi and the WLTP certification isn't ready yet. angry

    Oh, also a new rumor regarding the 992 GT3: Since the 991.2 GT3 RS gets a particulate filter for 2019, there is now a strong rumor that the 992 GT3 comes earlier (2020) than planned and it will have a n/a engine with particulate filter as well. Rumored power is 540 hp. They decided this from a cost perspective, it would be a pity not to use the WLTP 4.0 l modified engine for a 992 model.

    I won't speculate anymore if this is the last n/a engine or not since these rumors almost change on a daily basis. yes

    The 992 GT3 RS will surely be based on the same engine as the GT3 again and have a prospective power of 560 hp. That's another 60 hp Porsche would have to squeeze out of the current engine. 

    540 hp are rumored right now...but if they can squeeze another 20 out of it, why not? The problem is still that particulate filter and the exhaust system. No more "backfiring" for the 991.2 with particulate filter btw., no more pop pop. Smiley

    I meant 560 hp for the 992 GT3 RS which will based on the 992 GT3

    Hybrid tech is not ready for prime time unless in very specific high performance applications, not many care about it and now that mass market EV are around the corner, would wants to buy old tech? For example just go test drive a hybrid Cayenne, the car is a mess, it is not fast nor economical, the battery is too small and you cannot run the car on battery only unless you want to drive an anvil.

    The WLTP certification issues aren’t limited to Porsche nor the EU.   Yesterday, Volkswagen announced that the Arteon’s introduction for North America is being delayed until 2019. It was to happen now but the certification department can only work on so many projects at a time. Volkswagen can’t simply hire additional skilled people and get that work completed, so a backlog has resulted.   It is so bad in the States, as an example, that Audi dealers have no A8s, A7s, or A6s in inventory and are relying on crossovers for any sales.

    I think we will see a number of hybrid options in the 911 over the 992 and next generation. Taycan will provide Porsche with the platform to continue the development and improvement of battery technology to create a 911EV. A hybrid 911 is a car I may move to next.

    If the car was/would shown in Paris dont see any reason why the car wouldnt be in Los Angeles (assuming Porsche will be at LA Auto Show).

    Dont worry, whether it is going to be show is Paris first or not, i´m pretty sure (no inside info, just a guess) the 992 will be in Los Angeles!!!!

    Regards!!!

    California still remains a significant market for Porsche sales and China isn't too far away with myriad flights available, so an introduction at Los Angeles does make some sense.  Audi saw fit to debut its new BEV in northern California and if Porsche is to introduce a hybrid variant at the show, it strongly taps into the California sustainability vibe.

    I don’t think you realize how hard it is to get 560hp out of any street-legal 4.0L NA motor.  How much harder it is when that 4.0L motor has only 6 cylinders.  And how much harder again when that 4.0L 6-cyl has a filter shoved up its exhaust.  I’m personally amazed if they get more than the current RS (520hp, so 560 is only 40 more rather than 60, but nearly impossible, IMO)

    I do not have details, unfortunately but I know what kind of engines will be used (not in detail though, just the raw data like cylinders, displacement and horse power with a minor error margin in the horse power domain).

    Hybrid tech is coming but maybe not immediately in the Carrera models. Also, it will be rather used to push power output and lower emissions/fleet consumption numbers, if you get my point. 

    I have no information on the engines used for totally new models but I heard that a possible 960 could use a new developed V8 engine (incl. hybrid tech!), which could make it into other VW Group brands as well. Not before earliest 2020 though.

    So technically they could keep the GT3 range NA as long as they lower the emissions of their other cars (which should be a simply task with EV Macans/Cayennes/Panameras)? That’s interesting. I always thought that every engine had to meet the criteria.

    There was some sort of "exception" for limited productions but I'm not sure this applies to Ferrari, Lamborghini and Maserati. In fact, Lamborghini will soon have WLTP compliant engines, cannot say much about the others but my guess would be YES. I am curious about McLaren...especially since the UK is leaving the EU but I guess it won't be much different since they want to sell their cars in the EU as well.

    Re: 992 Thread Closed

    In the EU there is leniency towards smaller manufacturers, as follows:

    Targets for smaller manufacturers

    Manufacturers selling

    • between 10,000 and 300,000 cars per year can apply for a fixed target of a 25% reduction from their 2007 average emissions for 2012-2019, and a 45% reduction from the 2007 level as of 2020.
    • between 1000 and 10,000 cars per year can propose their own emissions reduction target (subject to approval by the Commission based on agreed criteria) if they cannot or do not wish to join a pool;
    • fewer than 1000 cars per year, as well as special purpose vehicles – such as vehicles built to accommodate wheelchair access – are excluded from the scope of the legislation.

    I remember Di Montezemolo once said that Ferrari didn't want to exceed 10.000 units in a year. Probably it was related to the above.

    Porsche fall in the highest category of exemptions, but still a 45% reduction from the 2007 level is a difficult task.

    Re: 992 Thread Closed

    As from 2021 there will still be a differentiation in targets between manufacturers. But from what I understand this will not be on numbers produced but on the basis of the average test mass (determined by a formula not just curb weight) of all new vehicles by a manufacturer.

    However, producers of less than 10.000 cars will still be able to apply for a relaxation of their emissions target.
