The Porsche 911 Carrera T has received a makeover, and the German automaker has shown off the base, driver-focused 911 in coupe and convertible configurations for the first time. In addition to exterior and interior modifications, the updated Carrera T now only comes with a manual gearbox and has more standard equipment.
Porsche 911 Carrera T: What we know
The Carrera T weighs 1,478 kg, but Porsche has trimmed roughly 40 kg by utilizing lighter windows and less sound insulation. The T is powered by the Carrera’s 3.0-litre flat-six twin-turbo engine, which produces 394 horsepower and 450 Nm of maximum torque. The previous 911 Carrera T’s 7-speed manual and dual-clutch auto option have been replaced by a 6-speed manual gearbox that transfers power to the back wheels. Porsche claims a peak speed of 295 kph and 293 kph, respectively, and a 0-100 kph time of 4.5 seconds for the coupe and 4.7 seconds for the convertible.
The new Carrera T has a faster steering ratio than the previous model and four-wheel steering, which was an optional feature of the previous model. Porsche’s PASM adaptive suspension system remains standard, reducing ground clearance by 10 mm compared to the regular springs.

The GTS’ rear spoiler, new 20-inch front and 21-inch lightweight alloy wheels from the Carrera S, and a distinctive shift-pattern decal on the rear side windows are among the design modifications. The T’s interior has a heated GT sports steering wheel and a short-throw gear lever with a walnut finish. As an optional extra, it can be equipped with lightweight bucket seats or 18-way adjustable seats in addition to the normal four-way leatherette seats.
