PORSCHE is adding to the 911 family with the lightweight sports car, the 911 Carrera T.
The letter “T” stands for touring and describes models that offer a purist driving experience with exceptionally sporty equipment.
The standard 911 T features a seven-speed manual gearbox.
An eight-speed PDK (dual-clutch automatic gearbox) is also available and the rear seats are omitted.
The sound of the six-cylinder boxer engine is now an even more striking presence in the interior.
The new 911 Carrera T slots in between the 911 Carrera and the 911 Carrera S.
The Carrera T takes its biturbo engine with 283kW and 450Nm, which accelerates the sports car from zero to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds and to a top speed of 291km/h, from the entry-level 911.
The standard equipment from the Carrera S with a manual transmission is augmented by Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) with a mechanical rear differential lock.

The 911 Carrera T also comes standard with the Sport Chrono package and the PASM (Porsche’s Active Suspension Management) sports suspension features that only the Carrera T offers in combination with the 385-PS engine.
This is available as an option in the 911 Carrera S.
On request, the Carrera T can also be ordered with the optional rear-axle steering, which is also normally reserved for models from the Carrera S and up.
This first 911 T was offered until 1973, and in 2017 Porsche revived the purist 911 variant with the 911 Carrera T of the 991 model line.
Since then, the concept of the stripped-down, yet exceptionally sporty setup has been successfully brought to other model lines with the 718 Cayman T, the 718 Boxster T and the Macan T.
On the exterior, the Porsche 911 Carrera T stands out from the rest of the model line with dark grey accentuating details.
Contrasting elements such as the top and bottom trim on the exterior mirrors, the new door logos and the rear logos, and the trim strips on the rear lid grille feature agate grey.
The windscreen also features a grey top tint.
The tailpipes of the sports exhaust system are in high-gloss black.
It all gives the new 911 Carrera T an even more extroverted and dynamic look.
