GT Silver metallic with Graphite Blue leather, Crayon stitching. 2,200 miles. UK car originally supply Porsche Edinburgh. Balance of Porsche warranty (3yrs from 15.09.23) For the 911 Carrera T, T stands for Touring - but ‘911 Lightweight’ would perhaps be a better descriptor for this car, since simplicity, weight-saving and driver appeal are what it is all about. Slotting in between the standard Carrera and the well-established Carrera S, Porsche gave the Carrera T some special equipment features and quite an uncompromising character definition. Versus the entry level 911, the Carrera T get PASM Sport adaptively damped suspension, Carrera S 20/21in alloys, an active sports exhaust, a PTV mechanical locking rear differential and Porsche’s Sport Chrono Package (with dynamic engine mounts) as standard. It also has lightweight glazing and a lightweight battery. This car has a number of well-judged options including the leather interior, rear seats and Electric slide/tilt glass sunroof. The engine is wonderful. The world commends Ferrari for its ability to produce sharp, exciting, turbocharged engines, but Porsche deserves equal praise. The T's 3 litre twin turbo flat-six is muscular, responsive and builds to a howling crescendo offering the mid-range punch and flexibility you'd expect of a turbo motor while taking on extra frisson and bite at the top end. Producing 380 bhp it delivers 0-62 in 4.5 second and on to 182 mph. There is a surprisingly uncompromising sporting character about the Carrera T. Rawer, coarser and noisier but also more stable and a touch more direct in its dynamic demeanour, and not unlikeable for it. In short, this is a rather purposeful sports car whose ability to grip a well-surfaced road or track and keep its driver riveted by the speed and energy with which it covers the ground is considerable. On track – and even in the wet – it has adhesion, body control and cornering stability of the sort that a Porsche GT-department creation of only a few model generations ago would have struggled to live with.
