The Porsche 911 Carrera T is a lightweight sports car that offers a purist driving experience with exceptionally sporty equipment. Its name stands for touring and traces its history back to the homologation of the 911 T as a touring car in 1968. The 911 Carrera T slots in between the 911 Carrera and the 911 Carrera S and takes its biturbo engine with 283 kW (385 PS) and 450 Newton meters of torque from the entry-level 911. This sports car is available with a seven-speed manual gearbox or an eight-speed PDK. Its rear seats are omitted to reduce weight, and it features a PASM sports suspension with 10-mm-lowering and reduced insulation, making it the epitome of purism and exhilarating driving pleasure.
The 911 Carrera T's standard equipment from the Carrera S with a manual transmission is augmented by Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) with a mechanical rear differential lock. It also comes standard with the Sport Chrono package and the PASM sports suspension (-10 mm). The 911 Carrera T offers 20- and 21-inch Titanium Grey Carrera S wheels with 245/35 (front) and 305/30 (rear) sized tires, and it comes with the GT sports steering wheel, sports exhaust system, and Sports Seats Plus (four-way, electric).
The 911 Carrera T weighs just 1,470 kg with a manual transmission, making it the lightest series 911 with an entry-level engine. Beyond the omitted back seats and reduced insulation, lightweight glass and a lightweight battery shave off even more weight. This sports car's exterior stands out from the rest of the model line with Dark Grey accentuating details and contrasting elements such as the top and bottom trim on the exterior mirrors, the new door logos and the rear logos, and the trim strips on the rear lid grille featuring Agate Grey. The Porsche 911 Carrera T's windscreen also features a grey top tint, and the tailpipes of the sports exhaust system are in high-gloss black.

The floor mats also offer the logo and stitching in the contrasting colors of Lizard Green and Slate Grey as an option. The Porsche 911 Carrera T offers optional Adaptive Sports Seats Plus (18-way, electric) and even sportier and exceptionally lightweight full bucket seats featuring Race Tex seat centers.
