This is the 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera T
Even the hottest performance cars have become bigger and heavier over the years, and the trend has reached the point that more basic, lightweight cars have become “special.” Porsche’s latest entry to the space takes that approach, as it’s the lightest 911 Carrera variant on sale today.
The 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera T weighs in at just 3,316 pounds and comes exclusively with a six-speed manual transmission. Its twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter flat-six comes from the standard Carrera, offering 388 horsepower and 331 pounds of torque. The potent mill can propel the car from 0-60 mph in 4.3 seconds in coupe form and 4.5 seconds for the cabriolet model.
The rear-drive car’s transmission uses the first six gear ratios from the 992.1 Carrera’s seven-speed gearbox, and Porsche will fit a walnut shift knob in every car. Though it’s a purist’s car, Porsche offers an auto-blip rev-match feature to help with downshifts with the available Sport Chrono package.

Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) is standard and offers a 10mm lower stance than the regular Carrera. The 911T also gets 350mm front and rear brake discs and six-piston front calipers. Rear-axle steering is also standard, and Porsche retuned the anti-roll bars for better handling.
The 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera T starts at $134,000 for the coupe and $147,300 for the Cabriolet. Buyers will also see a $1,995 destination charge when the car arrives on dealers’ lots in the summer of 2025.

- Peeryog Everytime I see one I am reminded of the current Santa Fe. And vice versa.
- Original Guy I watched that Moscow parade thing. (With the Cyrillic captions because my Russian is a little rough.) I won't give the whole thing away, but it started off with a couple of dudes riding around in stupid useless convertibles, standing up like Hitler, who I'm pretty sure was an actual Nazi. They drove around in circles and kept stopping to ask if anyone had seen all the missing military equipment, and all the guys kept moaning back, that no, they hadn't, ask the next section of guys.They looked around for someone shorter and sicker-looking than Putin but they were unsuccessful so they let him speak.The North Korean military was there, I guess the invasion has begun. The North Korean guys were skinny but their rifles were nicely polished, I guess they have plenty of time on their hands between meals.Some of the Russian military guys carried little white flags, I assume they keep those handy in case they run across any U.S. Marines.
- Marc J Rauch EBFlexing on ur mom - Ethanol is compatible with more types of rubber, plastic, and metal than gasoline and aromatics. This means that ethanol is less corrosive. The bottom line is that long before ethanol could have any damaging effect on any engine component, gasoline and aromatics would have already damaged the components. And the addition of ethanol doesn't exacerbate the problems caused by gasoline and aromatics; it actually helps mitigate them.
- Original Guy Today I learned that a reverse brake bleeder (and a long borescope) can be helpful if you are autistic and don't have any friends and no one wants to work with you to bleed your brakes. Also it is quick, once you figure out the process.When Canada assembled my truck back in circa 1995, they apparently used a different clip to attach the brake pedal (and switch) to the brake booster than what is technically called for. It is tough to realize this when the spring steel clip flies off to who knows where. Of course I ordered the wrong clip trying to match the style that I saw buried up in the dash before it flew away. My truck now has the 'correct' clip, everyone can relax.I ordered some more brake fluid (DOT 3, nothing fancy) but it turns out I still have two fresh bottles (my shelves aren't empty, I just have too many shelves).Went to install my fancy new Optima YellowTop battery and it turns out I need a new side post terminal bolt. (Yet another order placed, bring on THE TARIFFS.) It would be a shame to strip out the threads on a nice new battery, no?Good news: The longer it takes me to get my truck started again, the more I save on fuel. 😁
- Normie Weekends here would be a great time for everyone to join in praise of dog dish hubcaps on body-color matched steelies!
