Porsche has expanded its 911 lineup for the 992.2 generation by introducing the lightweight and agile 911 Carrera T, aiming to capture the attention of driving purists. The Carrera T prioritizes driving pleasure and simplicity by emphasizing essential features such as a six-speed manual transmission, reduced weight, and a refined sound experience. This new variant, available for the first time as a cabriolet, represents a fresh addition to Porsche’s portfolio, positioned between the base Carrera and the more powerful Carrera S.

With weight-saving measures like lightweight windows, reduced insulation, and full bucket seats, the Carrera T weighs just 1,478 kilograms, over 40 kg lighter than the standard 911 Carrera. Powered by a 3.0-liter, six-cylinder twin-turbo boxer engine producing 388 hp and 450 Nm of torque, the Carrera T delivers swift acceleration, reaching 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds for the coupe and 4.7 seconds for the cabriolet, with a top speed nearing 295 km/h. A six-speed manual transmission is standard, accompanied by an auto-blip function to smooth downshifts, while a sport exhaust system enhances the car’s sound profile.

Porsche’s Sport Chrono Package, included as standard, optimizes the Carrera T’s dynamic handling. It also includes rear-axle steering and a lowered, model-specific PASM sports suspension. The car rides on 20/21-inch Carrera S light alloy wheels, contributing to its agile feel on the road. The exterior features distinctive touches like a shift pattern logo on the rear windows and accents in Vanadium Grey.
