Porsche has released its most driver focused non-GT series 911 in facelifted ‘992.2’ trim, proving there’s life left in the purist sports car yet.
The 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera T sits between the Carrera and Carrera GTS models and is available exclusively with a six-speed manual transmission between a twin-turbo 3.0-litre flat-six and the rear wheels.
Along with the wooden shift knob-topped six-speed, there are various weight-saving measures including lightweight windows and less sound insulation helping the Carrera T shed 30kg compared to the base car.

The best Porsche ever? 2025 Porsche 911 GT3 supercar updated to retain heroic naturally aspirated engine, joined by street-focused Touring version but is it better than a Ferrari or McLaren?
The 911 T costs $306,800, before on-road costs, in coupe form and is available as a cabriolet for the first time from $330,100, before on-road costs. The T trim adds around $25,000 to the price of a base Carrera.
In addition to the manual transmission, the T scores the Sport Chrono pack as standard along with an rev-match assist function.
There are no major changes to the flat six engine which produces the same power, at 290kW and unchanged torque at 450Nm. It does get a sports exhaust system standard, though.
Without a PDK the 911 T is four tenths slower than the Carrera to 100km/h at 4.5 seconds, but who really cares? Porsche lists the Carrera T’s Top speed at 295km/h.
With PASM adaptive sports suspension tuned standard, the 911 T sits 10mm lower than the standard car. It rides on staggered 20- and 21-inch Carrera S alloy wheels shod in 245/35 front and 305/30 rear tyres and Porsche has tweaked anti-roll bars and aero balance settings to make the 911 T a more dynamic drive.
All four corners get 350mm diameter brake discs with six-piston calipers on the front end.
Visually, the 911 T gets the Carrera GTS’ front aerodynamic design, contrast colour model designation and a H-pattern shift sticker on the rear quarter windows as the finishing touch.
Naturally, Porsche offers the 911 T in a variety of colours, from safe white, silver and black hues through the Legends shades — including the likes of Shade Green and Crayon Grey — and bright paints such as Guards Red and Lugano Blue in the Dream schemes.
Aside from the open pore walnut laminated wooden shift knob, the Carrera T gets bespoke grey and blue tartan Sport-Tex upholstery on the 18-way power adjust adaptive sports seats with lightweight buckets optional. The three-spoke steering wheel is heated and leather appointed.
Australian examples get additional equipment including tyre inflation kit, rear parking sensors, a 360-degree camera, keyless access, Bose sound system and DAB radio. The 911 T is available to order now.
The 911 T name first appeared in 1968 as a lightweight special to homologate touring cars of the era with models built through to 1973. The name was re-introduced in 2017 as a mid-step point between Carrera and Carrera S variants though Porsche is yet to introduce a 992.2 Carrera S variant.
