Porsche 911 T returns solely with a manual gearbox

Porsche has continued the updated 992.2 generation 911's roll-out with the revival of the T moniker as a step-up from the conventional Carrera.

The effective replacement for the Carrera S that, for the moment, doesn't form part of the 992.2 range, the T now slots in below the GTS as exclusively fitted with the close-ratio six-speed manual gearbox and as either a coupe or the first-time, a cabriolet.

An option the now hybrid-assisted 992.2 dropped at its unveiling in May, the officially titled 911 Carrera T loses the electric hardware completely as a result of not only the box, but also the need to save weight.

The 992.2 Carrera T carries over the same aesthetic as the standard models, but with the addition of machine polished Vanadium Grey Metallic 20-inch at the front and 21-inch at the rear alloy wheels, an H-pattern manual gearbox decal on the rear windows and Vanadium Grey detailing.
