In this review of the Porsche 911 Carrera T by Savagegeese, we delve into the heart of what makes this car truly special. Forget what the 'T' stands for; it's all about the touring experience that this 911 offers. The manual gearbox, a rare gem in today's automotive landscape, is a standout feature, providing enthusiasts with a connection to the road that is increasingly hard to come by. With rear steer, a mechanical differential, and updated suspension, this 911 is a true driver's car, offering a blend of performance and handling that is hard to match.

Under the hood lies a 3L twin-turbo engine delivering 388 horsepower, mated to a new six-speed manual gearbox derived from the GT3. The driving experience is nothing short of exceptional, with smooth power delivery and a chassis that communicates every nuance of the road to the driver. Inside, the Carrera T boasts a mix of modern amenities and classic touches, such as a walnut shift knob and digital display, creating a comfortable yet engaging environment for the driver. However, the price of the Carrera T has seen a significant increase, starting at mid $130,000, putting it in competition with other high-performance vehicles in its class.

Despite the steep price tag, the Porsche 911 Carrera T delivers a driving experience that is second to none. The manual gearbox, responsive engine, and exceptional chassis control make every drive a thrilling adventure. While there are other options on the market that may offer more horsepower for less money, the Carrera T stands out for its blend of heritage, performance, and driving engagement. For enthusiasts who value the connection between man and machine above all else, the Carrera T is a true testament to the essence of driving pleasure.
