The 992 was sold in two phases that differ enough to be treated as separate cars — different engines in most cases, and different service parts in all of them. Choosing the wrong half is how people end up ordering a bulb that does not fit.

About the 992
The 992 is an evolution of the 991 rather than a clean sheet: the same basic architecture, considerably stiffer, wrapped in a body that gives every car — rear-drive included — the wide rear haunches previously reserved for the all-wheel-drive and S models. Inside, the analogue tachometer survives in the middle of an otherwise fully digital binnacle, which is a fair summary of the car as a whole.
The Carrera range is turbocharged throughout, developed from the 991.2 engine with larger turbochargers, piezo injectors and better intercooling. The 8-speed PDK is standard and, for the first several model years, a manual was available only on the GTS and the GT cars — a state of affairs the market noticed immediately.
The GT cars are the story here. The 992 GT3 keeps a naturally aspirated 4.0 L flat-six revving to 9,000 rpm, offers a manual at no cost, and adds double-wishbone front suspension derived from the RSR race car. In an era of turbocharging and electrification it is a deliberate, expensive anachronism, and it is the reason this generation will be remembered fondly.
