A puristic addition to the 911 family
Less is more – the new Porsche 911 Carrera T
Stuttgart. With the 911 Carrera T, Porsche is reviving the puristic concept behind the
911 T of 1968: less weight, shorter transmission ratios from the manual gearbox and
rear-wheel drive with mechanical rear differential lock for an enhanced performance
and intense driving pleasure. ** Unreleased model in Korea
The new model’s unique appearance is based on the 911 Carrera and its engine de-
livers 272 kW (370 hp). The 911 Carrera T – at Porsche, “T” stands for Touring – al-
so boasts several other equipment features that are not available for the 911 Carrera,
including the PASM sports chassis as standard, lowered by 20 mm, the weight-
optimised Sport Chrono Package, a shortened shift lever with red shift pattern and
Sport-Tex seat centres. The optional rear-axle steering, which was not available for
the 911 Carrera, is still reserved for the 911 Carrera T.
Every aspect of the equipment in the 911 Carrera T is designed to optimise sporti-
ness and deliver lightweight construction: The rear window and rear side windows
are made from lightweight glass and the door trims feature opening loops. The sound
absorption has been largely reduced, the optional rear seats have been omitted and
there is also the option to dispense with the Porsche Communication Management
(PCM). The result: At an unladen weight of 1,425 kilograms, the two-seater is 20 kil-
ograms lighter than a 911 Carrera with comparable equipment.
A sporty design and unique appearance

The design of the 911 Carrera T highlights the emotionality and sportiness of the
coupé with rear-axle transmission. The body parts and wheels function as clear dif-

ferentiating elements. At the front, the 911 Carrera T features an aerodynamically

optimised front spoiler lip, and the Sport Design exterior mirrors are painted in Agate
Grey Metallic. From the side, the new model is easily recognisable thanks to its 20-
inch Carrera S wheels in Titan Grey. The “911 Carrera T” logos represent another
distinctive feature at the side. The rear view is characterised by the slats in the rear
lid grille, the Porsche logo, the “911 Carrera T” model designation in Agate Grey and
the sports exhaust system provided as standard, with centrally positioned tailpipes
painted in black. The exterior colour options are Black, Lava Orange, Guards Red,
Racing Yellow, White and Miami Blue, as well as the metallic colours Carrara White,
Jet Black and GT Silver.
A puristic interior concept and new interior package

The appearance of the passenger compartment also has a sporty and puristic em-
phasis. The driver enjoys black, four-way, electric sports seats with a seat centre in
Sport-Tex fabric, while the headrests feature a “911” logo stitched in black. This new
Carrera T model also comes with the option to choose full bucket seats for the first
time. Steering actions are completed via the GT sports steering wheel with leather
rim, and the mode switch provided on the steering wheel as standard allows the driv-
er to select different driving programmes. The shortened shift lever with shift pattern
in red remains exclusive to the 911 Carrera T. The decorative trims on the dashboard
and doors are black, as are the door opening loops. A new addition is the T interior
package, which creates an even sportier look with the contrasting colours of Racing
Yellow, Guards Red or GT Silver. These colours can be used to add visual accents
on various interior components, such as the seat belts, the “911” logo on the head-
rests, the door opening loops or the centres of the Sport-Tex seats.
Improved weight-to-power ratio plus enhanced performance

The six-cylinder flat engine with a displacement of three litres and twin turbocharging
generates an output of 272 kW (370 hp) and a maximum torque of 450 Nm, deliver-
ing between 1,750 rpm and 5,000 rpm. The weight-to-power ratio has been improved
to 3.85 kg/hp, ensuring enhanced performance and more agile driving dynamics.
Thanks to the manual transmission with shorter gear ratio and mechanical differential
lock, the 911 Carrera T can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds – 0.1 seconds
faster than the 911 Carrera Coupé. The model reaches the 200-km/h limit in just 15.1
seconds. Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) is also available as an option on the Carre-
ra T, enabling the vehicle to reach 100 km/h in 4.2 seconds, and 200 km/h in 14.5
seconds. Both transmission variants enable a top speed of over 290 km/h.
The 911 Carrera T will be available from January 2018 and can be pre-ordered now.
However, the 911 Carrera T is an unreleased model in Korea. In Germany, the price
will be EUR 107,553 including VAT and country-specific features.
