    The facelift for the Porsche 911 Carrera T has been revealed, and for the first time, the German brand has showcased the entry-level driver-focused 911 in Coupe and Cabriolet form. Along with changes to the exterior and interior, the refreshed Carrera T is exclusively available with a manual gearbox, and gets more standard tech, among other tweaks. 

    1. 911 Carrera T facelift gets a new 6-speed manual
    2. Weighs 20kg less than the standard 911 Carrera
    3. Four-wheel steering is offered as standard

    Porsche has shaved off about 40kg by using lightweight windows and reduced sound insulation, which means the Carrera T, tips the scales at 1,478kg. The T gets the Carrera’s twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre flat-six engine, which makes 394hp and 450Nm of peak torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual gearbox, which replaces the 7-speed manual and the dual-clutch auto options available on the previous 911 Carrera T. Porsche claims a 0-100kph time of 4.5 seconds for the coupe and 4.7 seconds for the convertible, and a top speed of 295kph and 293kph, respectively.

    The updated Carrera T also sports a quicker steering ratio than the outgoing model and gets four-wheel steering as standard; the latter was an optional extra on its predecessor. Porsche’s PASM adaptive suspension system, which lowers ground clearance by 10mm than the standard springs, continues to be standard. 

    Among the design changes are new 20-inch front and 21-inch lightweight alloys from the Carrera S, the GTS’ rear spoiler, and a unique shift-pattern sticker on the rear side windows. On the inside, the T features a walnut-trimmed short-throw gear lever and a heated GT sports steering wheel. Four-way-adjustable leatherette seats are standard, but they can be specced with 18-way-adjustable seats or lightweight bucket ones, which are optional extras.
