Rare, manual, light(ish) 911s don't have to cost hundreds of thousands, you know...
gives them more ammunition than ever, because a purist-spec SUV is a hard sell when the V6 costs the same money. But while the pared-back Caymans, Boxsters and 911s have looked a bit suspect on paper - derived from the base car yet with RRPs to rival the more powerful S models - they’ve proved much more convincing in reality.
The 911 T was especially nice. The 718s always hobbled a tad by the four-cylinder engine that not everybody loved. Perhaps it wasn’t a reimagination of an original 60s’ 911 T, because nothing from the 21than the numbers might have suggested. Power was unchanged at 370hp, only through a standard limited-slip diff normally only offered on a Carrera S and with closer ratios for the seven-speed manual.
To drive, the Carrera T answered a few of the criticisms levelled at the 991. It was a bit louder, a bit firmer, a bit more of a sports car all the time - yet without compromising the everyday usability . The Carrera S probably had broader appeal, but those who did take a punt on a T wouldn’t have been disappointed. Not least with the rarity appeal on top - there are more 991.2 GT3s in the UK than Carrera Ts.should show off what the T can do just nicely.
Like a lot of the rare, manual, brightly coloured Porsches, the 911 Carrera T has proven remarkably resilient to depreciation. The list price of this one would have been £85,576 in 2018 before the options were added, so call it £90k or so. Now it’s for sale, 15,000 miles later for £75,995. Nothing like getting a good chunk of your money back to make a car appeal even more.
And while it’s never possible to guarantee these things, the T looks a safe bet for the future as well. There were never very many, and 992-era specials seem more focused on the upper end of the range - think
