Porsche Hasn't Released The 992.2 Carrera S Just Yet For A Very Good Reason - Storyboard

Porsche's recent focus on the hybrid 911 is why the Carrera S will take longer to arrive

Porsche's decision to not offer its most popular 911 right away shows the German automaker is willing to go the extra mile to push the electrified 911 in our faces

There is no Carrera S prototype spotted yet, which means it will be based on one of the existing 992.2 models

We know the base 992.2 Carrera received the 992.1 GTS' turbochargers. A 992.2 Carrera S could get the 992.1 Turbo's setup

One source claims the 992.2 Carrera S would feature a hybrid setup, similar to the 2025 GTS

A hybrid powertrain on the Carrera S could have some consequences for the more analog focused driver

It automatically rules out a manual 911, at least for the mainstream models

A fairly reliable source quotes a power figure of 510 horsepower for the upcoming Carrera S

However, this power figure puts it dangerously close to the T-Hybrid-powered Carrera GTS

The 992.2 Carrera S could also introduce a more distinctive design that separates it from other 992.2 models

A 500-plus horsepower, hybrid Carrera S would be a big jump from the base Carrera, unless Porsche is planning something special
