The Porsche Carrera T unlocks what you want in a 911. TheSmokingTire
Plus, less weight means you don’t need an expensive set of pie-pan ceramic brakes to haul it down. Porsche’s standard steel offerings are more than sufficient in this application.If you were to equip one of these with the 8-speed PDK at no cost, something I would not recommend, you would also be privy to PTV Plus, an active torque vectoring system integrated into the gearbox, also unavailable with the base car.
One thing I would recommend is rear steer. I have liked it in every single 911 in which it’s been equipped, which, in the case of press demonstrator cars, is all of them. It reduces the turning radius by a foot, which is actually quite practical for parking maneuvers, or in the case of content creators, making u-turns for videography. It also adds high-speed stability with a hint of “crab walk” to simulate a lengthened chassis at higher speeds.
The perfect Carrera T is one so equipped as to still come in at under the cost of a well-equipped Carrera S. If, like in this press car, you went ham on the options, you can end up building a car that makes no sense. If you optioned in the good performance options like rear-steer, Power Steering Plus, and the extended range fuel tank, you’re in at under theprice of a Carrera S.
I previously said the last-generation T was my favorite 911 but for the GT3 Touring. This time around, I’ll have to settle for it simply being my favorite 911 if you can’t afford a better one.
