Manual-Only Fun: Porsche Unveils The New 911 Carrera T For Enthusiasts

Porsche’s latest iteration of the 911 Carrera T, or 992.2 if you’re keeping track, is a return to form for enthusiasts who crave a purist’s drive. The Carrera T, originally introduced as a nod to the lightweight 911s of yore, continues its legacy of minimalism, now offering only a manual gearbox.

And for the first time, the 911 T also comes in a convertible, expanding its reach to those who enjoy open-air drives with an enthusiast edge. This new Porsche 911 Carrera T refines what enthusiasts have come to expect, even dropping its former seven-speed manual in favor of a six-speed.

The reason? Porsche decided the extra gear was redundant, keeping the ratios of the previous six gears but simply redrawing the shift pattern. Inside, the carmaker added a bit of old-school flair with a walnut shifter and a shift pattern graphic for the passenger. Under the hood, you’ll find Porsche’s 3.0-liter twin-turbo boxer engine, delivering 388 hp and 331 lb-ft of torque.

Acceleration is quick, with the coupe reaching 60 mph in 4.3 seconds, while the Cabriolet takes 4.5. Top speed clocks in at around 183 mph for the Coupe and a hair less for the Cabriolet. Yet, this model is heavier than its predecessor, gaining 62 lbs to weigh in at 3,316 lbs. Some of this extra weight is due to added standard features, like rear-axle steering, which adds stability and agility.

Porsche also included other upgrades like Torque Vectoring, the Sport Chrono package, and revised antiroll bars. Design-wise, the 911 T sets itself apart with Vanadium Grey accents, Carrera GTS-inspired front spoilers, and special decals. Its Carrera S alloys sport a two-tone finish, while a Carrera T exterior package adds Gentian Blue accents across several details like the wheels, intake slats, and a subtle hood stripe.

Pricing for this Carrera T starts at $134,000 for the Coupe and $147,300 for the Cabriolet. It’s available for order now, with deliveries expected by summer 2025 in the U.S.
