How Would You Spec Your 992.2 Porsche 911 Turbo S?
Now, we’re very excited to eventually get behind the wheel of the 992.2 Porsche 911 Turbo S. With its new T-Hybrid powertrain, it becomes the most powerful road-going 911 ever, with 701 bhp on tap.
Porsche says it’ll do 0-62mph in 2.5 seconds, and it’ll probably be even quicker than that in reality, so we’re sure it’ll ruin our stomachs in the process. Given the car has only just been revealed, though, it’ll be some time before we can report back on that to be sure.
For now, though, a new Porsche 911 means a new Porsche 911 configurator for us to play with. Well, for the sake of justifying our procrastination time by converting that into content, allow us to present the Car Throttle editorial desks’ ways of spec'ing a Porsche 911 Turbo S.

As government money tightens its grip on fighting games, the push back to grassroots events gains momentum
Last week, the news broke that the Saudi Arabian city project Qiddiya had acquired an American talent management and brand consulting firm called RTS. Now, you may not have heard of RTS, but you may have heard of the video game event it co-owns: Evo.
Evo, the largest fighting game tournament in the world, is now owned in-part by the Saudi Arabian government. This government, criticised heavily for its human rights record, has brought the jewel of the fighting game community into its ever-growing sportswashing venture.
The reaction was loud and largely negative in the wake of this announcement, with a wave of fighting game fans and professionals decrying the move, pledging to never attend an Evo again, and urging others to focus...
Justice Lee looks ‘through a glass darkly’ at Qantas claims of culture change
The question of whether Qantas has actually changed, almost two years after the sudden departure of divisive former boss Alan Joyce, hung heavy over the judgment that saw the airline fined $90 million in penalties yesterday for illegally outsourcing 1,820 staff under the cover of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The figure took the total redress for the life-shattering cuts to $210 million. Compensation of $120 million was ordered by Federal Court Justice Michael Lee last year. That’s on top of the $100 million that Qantas was fined after being caught by the competition regulator for the selling of so-called ghost flights: available to book online but already cancelled by the airline.
As he pondered the airline’s behaviour and whether there was any true “contrition” in its growing number of apologies for its behaviour, Lee was scathing, dismissing Qantas’s pangs...
New Hydrogen Technology Plant Launched | Mirage News
WA company Carbon280 offers prospect of safe, scalable method of hydrogen transportation at atmospheric temperature and pressureHomegrown innovation has the potential to have significant impact on industry A safe, pumpable liquid used to transport hydrogenEnergy and Decarbonisation Minister Amber-Jade Sanderson has officially opened a pilot plant offering the prospect of a safe and scalable way to transport hydrogen.
The Hydrilyte Technology Pilot Plant is operated by Western Australian company Carbon280.
Its patented Hydrilyte Technology uses a metal hydride suspended in a light mineral oil with a process that locks the hydrogen in a solid state within the liquid.
The Hydrilyte and the hydrogen can be stored indefinitely without loss, with the process being reversed to unlock the hydrogen.
As a safe, pumpable liquid, the hydrogen-containing Hydrilyte can be stored and transported using existing liquid fuels infrastructure, including pipelines, tankers...
