looks like a lot of black plastic around.

Better than YouTube spec carbon, carbon, carbon IMO - on parts that are going destroyed by stones and detritus on track?

718 GT4 is the same.... makes these pieces more cost effective to replace if you end up needing to.

Thank **** they sorted the back bumper out too.

Looks a bit Aston Martin-y?

Rear corners look like 991 RS... no problem with that.

Pity the 992 has lost the individual engine lid air scoops which look great imo especially against light colours.

AP says that they are not required and actually disturb the effectiveness of the rear wing.
The new rear engine lid and duck tail manage airflow coming off the roof much better and the lid ducts/scoops arent necessary.

I read this earlier in the motortrend article.

Just listened to a Podcast with one of the Total 911 journalists who have also had an audience with AP

Touring launching in a couple of months and will be available in PDK
992 does have RWS, think there’s been some discussion about whether it has it.
First drives early next year


Taking a step back I wonder if the excitement about 992 is because it looks a lot better than feared, they’ve certainly pushed the boat out with an RS style launch colour. Engine will I suspect feel almost identical to 991.2 and is the smallest “improvement” in any GT3 generation over the previous car. You could say they’ve pushed the boat out with suspension and aerodynamics because they’ve had to.

As I’ve said previously the one I would have is a PDK Touring because I think that makes a superb daily but my name is not in the hat.

David.... which Podcast ? Is the podcast on Spotify

Road to redline… yep available on all podcast platforms.

Another 991 Touring just sold off market via RPM Technik... didn’t even get as far as advertised.

[TDT]

More like a GT3 R than a Cup car. Very very sophisticated.
Can run on Synthetic fuel also - so hopefully this trickles down to road cars!.

[TDT]

ok... its nearly here for real now.... lol
