The Porsche 911 Carrera T is the manual-equipped performance touring 992 that the true purists have been waiting for.
, and more glorious noise in the cabin—the 2023 Porsche 911 Carrera T is the 992 that enthusiasts clamor for. A pure driving experience that you and a single occupant can enjoy while putting your skills to the test, all packaged with a twin-turbo six-cylinder engine that produces 379 hp and propels it to a 181 mph top speed. It is the purists' Porsche of the 992 generation.
The original 911T of the late 1960s was a"cheap and cheerful" entry point into the 911 range. More recently,applied a slightly different formula, plucking some go-fast bits from elsewhere in the lineup and offering buyers something in between the base Carrera and the higher-performance Carrera S. So what does the Carrera T offer in this latest iteration?
Let's tackle this in order of what the driver will notice first. The biggest change is the standard seven-speed manual transmission with an actual third pedal on the floor. Yes, the 2023 911 Carrera T. Right behind them, the driver will also see that the rear seat has been deleted. For those that need it, both the PDK and rear seats can be added back on as no-cost options.
The driver sits in four-way Sport Seats Plus and places their hands on the GT Sport steering wheel. Once they are comfortable, they fire up that 3.0-liter twin-turbo flat-six engine, which is thankfully louder and has a different tone than the standard Carrera. It's not just the Sport Exhaust System that is responsible for the acoustic differences, but also the reduction of sound deadening and thinner window glass.
Porsche says that the 2023 911 Carrera T will hit U.S. dealers by Spring of 2023 with an MSRP of $118,050—a $10,500 premium over the base Carrera and $6,400 less than the Carrera S , and arguably the sweet spot of price and performance of the 992 generation.
