New Porsche 992.2 Turbo S Drops 🔥

The Numbers:

701 HP / 590 lb-ft of torque
Hybrid powertrain with dual electric turbos
Displacement actually went DOWN - 3.8L → 3.6L (everyone's missing this detail!)
0-60 matches Bugatti Chiron pace
Quarter-mile: 10.3 seconds
Configurators showing ~$270K starting price

Hot Take: While everyone's talking power numbers, the real story is Porsche achieving more with less displacement through electrification.

Market Watch 👀

Wild Pricing Alert: 2014 Cayenne base model listed for $125.5K with manual transmission in Jet Green Metallic. Manual Cayennes are becoming unicorns, but this pricing is... interesting.

Racing Update 🏁

IMSA at Texas: Porsche Penske took the win in wet conditions. Rain was definitely Porsche's friend - helped level the playing field against what we hear was a pretty heavy Balance of Performance penalty.

Up Next: Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta is just around the corner!

What's On Deck 🗓️

Event Season Heating Up:

Luft gathering approaching fast
Multiple rallies on the calendar
Our rally participants: Time's running short to get your cars dialed in!

Garage Updates:

Host's car getting sorted this week
993 project: Currently running 700 lb/in front, 1100 lb/in rear spring rates (way too stiff!)
Winter plans: Testing current setup, then switching to PSS10s
GT3 getting Ohlins Road & Track suspension
Big suspension development year ahead

Cool Builds Spotlight 🛠️

Joe Rogan's RSR Project Delivery: Absolutely sick build from RSR Project (Northeast-based shop). They've been perfecting these restomods for 9+ years.

What We Love:

Long hood 911 restomods
Proper RSR race car aesthetic
Big flares, meaty tires, proper sidewall
Old school racing DNA

Personal Take: If we were buying a restomod, RSR Project would be top of the list. That long hood, wide-body RSR vibe with modern performance is pure perfection.
