Manual Lovers Rejoice – The 992.2 Carrera T is Here
Porsche’s latest 992.2 Carrera T brings the thrill of manual shifting back to the 911 lineup, offering a unique experience for driving purists. As the third version in the 992.2 series, following the Carrera GTS and GT3, the Carrera T focuses on a lightweight build, heightened sound, and an exhilarating 6-speed manual transmission. For the first time, it’s also available as a Cabriolet, allowing open-air fans t
o experience this refined sports car with all the essence of Porsche’s legendary manual gearbox.
Pure Driving, No Compromises
Designed to deliver a “puristic Carrera for superlative driving pleasure,” the 992.2 Carrera T sheds over 40 kilograms compared to the base model thanks to lightweight glass and reduced noise insulation. This slimmed-down build enhances agility, while the signature 3.0-liter biturbo engine delivers 394 hp and 450 Nm of torque, giving drivers a visceral connection to the road. Unlike the Carrera and Carrera GTS, the T model exclusively offers a 6-speed manual, making it one of the few sports cars on the market today to cater solely to manual driving enthusiasts.
Introducing the Carrera T Cabriolet
The 992.2 Carrera T marks the debut of a Cabriolet version for the Carrera T. Although most convertible buyers previously opted for the PDK transmission, the T model sticks firmly with a manual, emphasizing the pure driving experience. With its standout “MT” badge, a unique shifter design, and classic three-pedal layout, the Carrera T Cabriolet is a true driver’s machine.
Exclusive Features, Simplified Choices
Equipped with the Sport Chrono Package, Porsche Active Suspension Management, and rear-wheel steering, the 992.2 Carrera T is fine-tuned for thrilling, performance-focused driving. Porsche has reduced customization options, keeping things minimal and elegant with a predominantly black interior. However, the optional “Carrera T” design package allows for tasteful accents in gentian blue, adding subtle but striking details to the interior and exterior.
Starting at $134,000, the Porsche 992.2 Carrera T is available for order now. For enthusiasts looking to configure their dream 911, Porsche’s configurator offers a great interactive experience, though it’s easy to exceed the base price as you explore the options.
