Re: 992
d997h:+ 1000, I am even not interested anymore in all these camou test drive reports...
Agreed . So who is up for starting a thread on the new, new 911, the “999”... rumours are that it will fix the many flaws of the 992 that owners are complaining about. It might even be the “last one” for... something.

The next generation 911 could be fully electric, and that would be a shame from an enjoyment standpoint. While as an EV acceleration would improve, the very characteristics that make the 911 so rewarding will be gone.

Re: 992
For me it is not about talking any new model, it is just that the whole certification issue in Germany drags on and Porsche needs keep up customer's interest...all press releases apart from the recent teaser to LA where just PR and not "car-related"...
"Car country Germany" currently is a real mess - I just ordered a new company car and I had not have very much of a choice, but just "what's available"...

Re: 992
Wonderbar:Geez—tough crowd. The “new” 992 is not even out yet, and folks are already starting to criticize a future, unseen car. Guess that’s OK, because the world will be coming to an end soon anyway
One should have been more explicit. The replacement for the 992 is said to be an EV. That should stimulate 992 sales as it will be the last of the real 911 line.

Re: 992
Did I miss something? I thought the more reliable rumors are that the next 911 might be a hybrid, not a pure EV. Seems to me that the combination of electric motor and petrol, like the 919, would be outstanding. I’d love more information on the 911 being a pure EV, so I can understand Porsche’s future better. Thanks.

Mild hybridization will start with the 992... 
(very likely with the next Turbo/S or latest with the 992.2).
The next gen 911 could be indeed fully electric but only if Taycan and Co. are a success story. Time will tell.

Heard rumblings about it before and the December issue of Car has George Kacher outlining Porsche’s EV future.

Re: 992
Grant:I think the hybrids won't begin until 992.2 (4 years)
Last rumors were mild hybridization for the 992.1 Turbo/S... There were some challenges though, so...

Re: 992
bvineyards:the paint department will be working overtime fulfilling bumpers painted to match option, will will come at a cost of course.
I still love the car though.
I've joked about that too, but seriously, there is something unfinished looking about both front and rear lower valance, especially visible in Paulo’s yellow car shots above. Hence, IMO a good chance this is some residual camouflage, and at full introduction they will look more finished.

Re: 992
nberry:I honestly do not understand the need for a electric sport car if there is no sound or fury. If quiet is the result, then given me comfort as well. Sport cars will no longer be in my garage.
Hell has frozen...I do agree with Nick.
But i´ll have to try one and make my final judgement.

Re: 992
Guys, the plastic front of the 992 will probably look like this. A more decent and finished look. And i like it.
On the Panamera , the bumper also had a very cheap look on the spy pics.
As for the rear plastic, i dont see Ferrari guys complaining too much about the plastic. It does look good.

Re: 992
That Panamera has the optional Sport Design front bumper with the further cost option of gloss black painted inserts. The black test car has the standard front bumper. The Sport Design kit makes a huge visual difference to the Panamera as it really needs the painted side skirts and the painted Sport Design bumper to make the car appear sleeker.
Re: 992
I'm not holding my breath for this. The latest design directions with new bumpers (Panamera, Cayenne,...) have been awful. They somehow don't manage to get the right balance between interesting detailing and simplicity like they should do on this level (first line of thought, of course - Ferrari). Having said that, they tend not to miss the plot with 911 somehow at the end. There may be a hope...
