KresoF1:And now this... With SC, new -20mm/SPASM, PDK and PCCBs 991.2 CS on street P Zeros is faster on the Ring then Cayman GT4.
Of course you forgot to mention that the 991.2 equipped like that costs 50% more than GT4

KresoF1:This is the most important quote:
Für bestmögliche Beschleunigung spannen die Turbolader elektrisch vor, schnüren das Turboloch auf die Länge eines Wimpernschlags zu (keine Ladedruckerhöhung, Overboost!), was die Gasannahme schärft – und ab geht die Post.
Terrible translation "For the best possible acceleration tension electrically before the turbocharger, the turbo-lag on the length of a blink to (no Ladedruckerhohung, Overboost! ), what sharpens the throttle response - and off goes the Post"

KresoF1:It is some kind of electrical turbo precharging. I got pdf that can not post here yet or send to someone but, car is a technical wonder. If everything works as described in this german pdf 991.2 will be the Benchmark.
But you are confident in choosing 991.1 instead?

No, I will take very low option 991.1 and get 991.2 as soon as orders open up.
New engines are state of the art. They are more advanced then 488 GTB engine.
My P source told me directly to order low options GTS(-20mm/SPASM and some items) since it will be an easy car to sell or trade. He also said that 991.2 C4S with power kit and all drive dynamic goodies is better in every possible way then 991.1 Carrera GTS(also equiped with drive dynamics goodies). Only thing where current GTS could be superior is exhaust sound.
Grant:Aha - so, you'll only keep GTS for a few months? Do you have to pay VAT twice?
No, car will go to my business partner here in early 2016 when I get 991.2
He wants 991.2 GTS but, he is not willing to pay price of new one. Therefor I ordered the car in his desired color and low specs (I just added -20mm). I will drive it until 991.2 arrives. It will be also a good thing to compare both generations directly.

The article says this special feature does work for 120 seconds only...

MKSGR:KresoF1:Yes, for 120 seconds. More then enough IMHO.
One could probably fix the button with some kind of tape and then it would work forever
Hahahhahaha
we can glue down the button if can be a solution

I think I am excited.
Porsche has a bunch of madmen engineers.
Now Porsche needs a bunch of madmen designers. New FL exterior is nice, but still has a bit of a "bolt on/scoop/plastic bumper" look. If new generation in 2018 progresses in body design like performance is progressing now, it's "Katie, bar the door".

When was the last time you used full throttle continuously for 120 seconds?

I think this sounds similar to technology that Audi has displayed before (electric turbos)?? Works on high-voltage supply. Hope this is reliable from first year...

looking forward to the 991.2 and your impressions Kreso, thanks for all the infos.
Can you say more about the 991.2 Turbo rumours?
