Porsche has expanded its current range of 911 models with a new, stripped-back Carrera T.
Arriving ‘exclusively’ with a six-speed manual transmission, the new Carrera T will be available in coupe and – for the first time – convertible guises, giving buyers an option when looking at this lightweight new model.
Some 42kg lighter than a standard 911 Carrera, the Carrera T has thinner windows, reduced insulation and – when kitted out with full fixed back bucket seats – tips the scales at 1,478kg.
Porsche says that the Carrera T will manage the 0-60mph dash in 4.3 seconds – or 4.5 seconds for the Cabriolet – and will head on to a top speed of 183mph. The drop-top has a slightly lower top speed of 182mph.
The exterior gains a number of features to help distinguish it from the rest of the 911 range, with highlights including contrast model badges, grey-painted inlays on the rear lid grille and areas of the wing mirrors and a more aerodynamic spoiler which is taken from the 911 Carrera GTS.
Inside, there’s a gearstick topped with a walnut finisher, a leather-upholstered and heated steering wheel and black four-way electrically adjustable sport seats as standard.
The new Porsche 911 Carrera T is available now, with prices starting from £111,300 for the Coupe and £121,300 for the Cabriolet.
