While the 911 Carrera is highly revered today, it wasn’t greatly received when Porsche introduced it to the market for the first time back in 1968. However, not long after its release, the Carrera took off and remained popular until the brand pulled the plug in 1973.

Later on, the Carrera T’s production resumed in 2017 and had a successful, but short-lived run. Now, as the 992 generation progresses, the Carrera T makes a comeback for 2023, to steal hearts once again. The Carrera T sits just above the base 911 and below the Carrera S and takes on elements from both vehicles to create what feels like a fancy 911 GTS, but in a more affordable package.

For those just getting into their Porsche 911 obsession, the Carrera T is the ideal vehicle. It costs only slightly more than the standard Carrera, but comes with a plethora of upgrades that make it easier to park next to a luxurious new 911 GT3 Touring without feeling out of place. For the 2023 model year, the Porsche 911 Carrera T has a lowered suspension and weighs a little less than the base Carrera, giving you something to brag about at your next car meet. If performance is your top priority, the Carrera T provides an over-the-top driving experience, which is not only fun on any road, but also genuinely engaging on an emotional level. And with a price tag of 118,050 (with destination), it’s worth every penny.
