What are the key differences between the 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera T and the standard 911 Carrera?

Question

Accepted Answer

Here are the key differences between the 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera T and the standard 911 Carrera:

WEIGHT & CHASSIS
- Carrera T is the lightest 992.2 Carrera at ~3,316 lb (about 77 lb lighter than a base Carrera) thanks to less sound-deadening, a smaller battery, and deleted rear seats (they’re optional).
- Standard PASM sport suspension sits 10 mm lower; base Carrera uses normal PASM.

TRANSMISSION
- Carrera T is 6-speed manual ONLY; base Carrera offers 8-speed PDK or 7-speed manual.

PERFORMANCE
- Same 3.0 L twin-turbo flat-six (379 hp/331 lb-ft) but shorter final-drive ratio = quicker acceleration in 1st-3rd gears.
- Sport Exhaust and limited-slip differential are standard on T, optional on base.

EQUIPMENT HIGHLIGHTS (T standard, optional on base)
- 20" front/21" rear Carrera S wheels, extended-range 22.1-gal fuel tank, Power Steering Plus, GT-style sport steering wheel, "Carrera T" interior pack with contrast stitching, and Bose audio.

PRICING
- When new the T carried roughly an $11k premium over a base Carrera; today low-mile examples trade on Classic.com in the high-$130k to mid-$150k range. At $164,900 this one sits at retail-plus money but has only 1,883 miles and a long option list.

If you want the purest, most analog 992 you can buy new, the T is it; if you prefer the convenience of PDK or want AWD, the base Carrera (or S) is the better pick.
