With demand for the 911 increasing, Porsche plans to add a new model to its 911 Line, starting in the spring 2023.

The new 911 Carrera T is positioned between the 911 Carrera and 911 Carrera S, but it makes use of the twin-turbo 6-cylinder engine from the 911 Carrera, which produces 379 horsepower and 331 pound-feet of torque, according to Porsche’s announcement.

The T stands for Touring

In Porsche’s nomenclature, T stands for Touring and is rooted in the homologation of the 911 T as a touring car in 1968, the announcement noted, adding that for buyers, the 911’s history and pedigree are almost as important as the car’s contemporary specifications.

The original 911 T was offered until 1973. In 2017, Porsche revived this particularly pure and light 911 variant in the 991 model line. Since then, the concept has been added to other model lines with the 718 Cayman T, 718 Boxster T and Macan T.

The 911 Carrera T due in the U.S. next spring will come with standard 7-speed manual transmission, and it accelerates from 0-60 mph in 4.3 seconds.

With the no-cost 8-speed PDK the 0-60 mph sprint is reduced to 3.8 seconds. The top track speed is 181 mph regardless of transmission choice.

MSRP starts well into six figures

Prices will start at $116,000 excluding the $1,450 delivery charge, and T variant is equipped with mechanical limited slip differential with Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) that is standard on the 911 Carrera S but not available for the 911 Carrera. 

In addition, the 911 Carrera T also comes standard with the Sport Chrono Package and PASM Sport Suspension, the latter of which is optional for the 911 Carrera S and not available for the 911 Carrera. 

Rear Axle Steering is optional on the 911 Carrera T but is not available on the 911 Carrera.

Further equipment that is specific to the T includes Titanium Grey Carrera S wheels measuring 20 inches in diameter at the front and 21 inches at the rear. 

The 911 Carrera T also comes standard with a GT Sport steering wheel, Sport Exhaust System and four-way Sport Seats Plus. Along with the deletion of the rear seats and the reduced sound deadening, the 911 T is fitted with thinner glass and a smaller, more compact battery.

Special dark grey accents characterize the interior of the 911 Carrera T. Contrasting elements such as the upper and lower mirror covers as well as the model designation on the doors and rear of the car are painted in Agate Grey. Furthermore, the Sport Exhaust System features high-gloss black tailpipes.

The focus on performance continues inside the car with standard four-way adjustable Sort Seats Plus. Interior trim in matte black and decorative inlays in high-gloss black round off the T package. Customers that seek an even higher level of differentiation can choose the optional Carrera T Interior Package. This adds seat belts in Slate Grey or Lizard Green, stripes on the seat centers in one of these colors, decorative stitching and 911 logos in the headrests. 

Floor mats with logos and stitching in Lizard Green or Slate Grey are also part of this optional package.

The 911 Carrera T can be ordered with 18-way Adaptive Sport Seats Plus or the particularly sporty and light Full Bucket Seats, the latter of which feature seat centers in RaceTex. The deleted rear seats can be re-equipped at no charge, though not in conjunction with carbon fiber Full Bucket Seats. The Carrera T Interior Package can also be enhanced with leather, which is used to cover the door armrests and panels, center console and dashboard. 

The list of exterior colors include black, white, Guards Red and Racing Yellow as well various metallic colors, including Jet Black, Gentian Blue, Ice Grey and GT Silver. Chalk, Ruby Star Neo, Carmine Red, Shark Blue and Python Green are also available as special colors.
