Apparently the Oz dealers have been told about it.

This sounds nice, but I'm still dreaming of a new 912 with the 718 base or S motor.

300hp, 6 spd, cloth 4-ways, 18in wheels and zero bells and whistles would make me a happy camper.

Not a popular opinion I'm sure but, I would love a simple, light weight (cheap) new 911. lol

Sounds nice until you realize they would still put a 90k price tag on it

And I don't think we want any more cars sounding like the 718 4 cylinder engine, it's truly horrible. I'm struggling to understand the appeal of this car for Porsche.. why build anything in the cayman's price range? You can already buy a regular 911 and not add any options to it.. I'm curious to see what they come out with to differentiate this "T" version.

I'm very interested in this 911T as well, it will makes a great DD.

Hope this car is more than just some sort of value package special like that of the Black Series.

Exactly. With all of the emissions and safety equipment, it's not like they can just take some amenities out and end up with a 25xx pound car.

I think the new Turbo Flat-4 weighs about the same as the old NA Flat-6 from the 991.1 Carrera. So, weight savings will negligible (but the engine would likely sit farther forward for a little less rear weight bias.

I agree on both counts. The 4 cylinder sounds so bad that I can't imagine anyone looking at a 911 would be interested in it. It would not sell.

Agree on the second part as well, unless they truly do something special, like putting the 6 speed in it rather than the 7 speed and, one can dream, putting an N/A motor in it. Build a light weight simple 911 with a 6 speed, even with lower power motor in it, and it will have a following. Put a 4 banger turbo in it and all you'll do is cannibalize Cayman sales.

My expectation is that it's just going to be a base 911, 3l turbo, 7 speed manual, with some styling nonsense.

My guess is it is a value/cosmetics package.

Buddy of mine had this emailed to him the other day from a local dealer.

Lol - mods took some of my post over here:

Anyway, here is my original post back (mods, please leave in this forum).

So one of our favourite cleaning ladies chrisNNNN has mentioned the 911T - a back to basics Carrera is coming soon.

This beautiful video (seriously great videography) got me thinking about it.


Chris or other cleaning ladies, can you tell us much about what to expect?

I assume turbo 3.0? 4 way seats only? Chrome highlights? Do tell.

should be here (as in Au) from second half of next year, essentially its a low spec base Carrera with special trims inside etc.

it will also be priced about 15% lower than a base Carrera too. could be a good daily driver for some, although i can't see what the appeal would be.

Cheap entry point to a 911.

If they come out with any 911 that's lower priced, cayman and Boxster sales will take a hit.

Have 718 sales been stronger, flat, weaker vs. 981 6 cyl. cars?
