    The hybrid RBS (Regenerative braking system) joins ABS( Anti-lock Braking System) as standard.  The 992 Porsche is a beautiful and rather functional iteration of the staid, steady and easily recognised Porsche 911 automotive design heritage. It has four functional seats, a rear engine design and all the new gadgetry. The 992 is missing a full manual or semi manual 6-8 speed shifter.  There may be some semi-automatic technology on the way as proposed by  an Egyptian born in the West Indies to aid us in maintaining our "manual feel" stick shift nostalgia in a more fully electronic age of tiptronics. Instead of  just tipping up and down to change the electronic semi automatic gears, you will follow a 6 up to 8 speed gear pattern in this new proposed semi automatic shifter with that manual shifting emotion. There is no clutch plate but a placebo clutch pedal that you can depress when shifting; as proposed by Warren A. Lyon.     That suggestion will give us the manual feel gear shifting with at least the five step gear box  pattern using  fully electronic gear management and transmission with a functioning  placebo clutch pedal. The 5 or 8 point manual style semi automatic electronic gear shifter is preferred over a tip up and tip down centre console semi automatic shifter.   Paddle shifters on the steering wheel remain standard.    But, in our electronic age, where is the non-plug in hybrid version of the 992 that is now being proposed here officially? With a non-plug in hybrid fuel management system, the 992 will bring the 911 fully into the modern age of engineering and the current minimum  specifications in automotive design standards that must include the non-plug in hybrid power and fuel management system along with the revolutionary  ABS system, for example.  ABS became a standard feature on most cars only a few decades ago.*      The plug-in is redundant while a fully self-regenerative non-plug in,  all-electric vehicle is already on the market; the Taycan.      Without the non-plug-in hybrid,  the vehicle is on the wrong side of automotive technological evolution.  We look forward to the 992 hybrid.
