Porsche reveals facelifted 911 Carrera T in coupe and convertible versions

ABU DHABI: Porsche has revealed the facelifted version of the fan-favourite 911 Carrera T. For the first time, the driver-focused, entry-level model is being offered in both Cabriolet and Coupe variants. The updated Carrera T brings a more potent powertrain, a proper six-speed manual gearbox, and a new drop-top model.

Porsche has reduced the Carrera T’s weight by about 40 kg which brings it down to 1,478kg. It is equipped with a 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged flat-six engine and generates 394 hp and 450 Nm of torque. It is paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox. The coupe takes 4.5 seconds to accelerate from 0-100 kmph, while the convertible takes 4.7 seconds, with 295 kmph and 293 kmph top speeds, respectively.

The updated Carrera T boasts standard four-wheel steering and a quicker steering ratio, previously an optional extra. The PASM adaptive suspension system of Porsche remains standard and it helps in lowering ground clearance by 10 mm. It comes with various design upgrades including new 21-inch rear and 20-inch front lightweight alloys, a unique shift-pattern sticker, and a GTS-style rear spoiler.

Inside, it has a heated GT sports steering wheel, walnut-trimmed gear lever, and optional 18-way lightweight or adjustable bucket seats.

The updated Carrera T can now be ordered, offering enthusiasts a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own this driver-focused model. For the coupe, the starting price is $134,000 (AED 4,92,182), while the convertible version is available at $147,300 (AED 540,959.25).
