Porsche 911 Carrera T: the "nueveonce" in its purest form

Antonio Roncero @roncero_antonio 19 October 2022 2 min.

The Porsche 911 range is expanded with the arrival of the Carrera T, a lightened and specially configured version for those who want to feel the full essence of the “nueveonce” in its purest sense.

Driving a Porsche 911 is quite an experience. And even more so in the Carrera T version, which joins the range to delight driving enthusiasts in its purest form. To achieve this, the new 911 Carrera T undergoes a major weight-loss programme and comes with a six-speed manual gearbox as standard (don’t worry, a PDK dual-clutch gearbox is also available as an option), along with other special features that we will detail.

The best Porsche 911 if you want to take corners

To reduce the total weight, the Porsche 911 Carrera T has its rear seats removed, some insulation omitted, and lighter glass and battery fitted. The total weight of the manual version stands at 1,470 kg, about 35 kg less than the lightest 911 Carrera, which is only offered with the PDK gearbox. But what will really influence how it feels to drive is not this, but the PASM sport suspension with a body height lowered by 10 mm, the Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) system with torque vectoring, the mechanical limited-slip differential on the rear axle and the sport exhaust system.

With the twin-turbo flat-six engine producing 385 CV and 450 Nm of torque, the 911 Carrera T accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds, and reaches a top speed of 291 km/h. The Sport Chrono package is standard equipment, and rear-axle steering is available as an option. Externally, this version is distinguished by Carrera S wheels in titanium grey (20-inch at the front and 21-inch at the rear), by dark grey details on the bodywork, the grey tint on the upper part of the windscreen and the version badges. Among the available body colours are special options such as chalk, carmine red, sharl blue, ruby star neo and python green.

The interior features Sport Plus seats, matt black decorative trim and gloss black inserts. Optionally, the Carrera T interior pack can be fitted, with contrasting grey or green seatbelts, contrast stitching on the upholstery and the 911 logo on the headrests and seats.

The price of the Porsche 911 Carrera T for the Spanish market is 143,314 euros, both for the manual version and when choosing the PDK gearbox.
