Having sat in the 992, I don't know how they could successfully do the T with the 992 platform. Too much technology, widebody, etc. Cannot see it having the same back to basics charm as the 991 version. But they've proven me wrong before!

You're just too accustomed to the 991. There's nothing back to basics about the 991 platform, either inside or out. As with all things Porsche, a 992 T would be an improvement.

This is a false comparison as the “GT3T” is not a separate model, just a GT3 with no wing. There could have been way more if more buyers simply wanted the touring package.

Exactly. A heavy, wide-body, tech-laden T ... where do I (not) sign up?

This is one of my favorite videos that really shows difference in personalities of the two cars.

I'm jaded on the 992 being able to equal what I have in a 991.2 T, so my money is on them continuing to offer the T in the Cayman/Boxster platform going forward instead. All depends on how well they sell. We know the 991.2 version worked. Time will tell!

Sgroer, I agree. Indeed I stated as much on the 991 subforum:

It will be bigger, heavier, and necessarily include a lot more tech (even further away from analog), all of which is patently antithetical to the character and essence of the Carrera T. And the 992 T will surely be produced in greater numbers. I'll go on the record now: History will look back on our 991 Carrera T's quite favorably, especially the enthusiast builds.
