We have the lowest Porsche prices in the world, accounting for the exchange rate. The T comes in at USD88,000 today. Sales tax is 13% in Ontario.

T weight check
Drove a T and absolutely love it. I think it’s the best non-GT 911 on sale. Engine noise reminded me of an air-cooled plant. Porsche nailed it - the T captures the true essence of a classic 911 in a modern package.
The weight savings is leaving me confused though. From the Porsche website:
991.2 C2 manual has an unladen weight of 1430Kg
T weight = 1438Kg (yes, +8Kg over the base car!)
what’s going on? It can only be the 20” wheels; but the lightweight rear glass is already included. Here in N America, the T ships with rear seats and the PCCM.
Ok... then we need to factor:
1) PCCB over standard brakes
- have read that this is about 16 lbs. Most of the comparisons are with the S brakes, which are heavier than the standard brakes. I believe there is no weight savings vs. the black standard brakes!
= 0 lbs
2) Carbon seats and rear seat delete
- 9.75Kg saved from rear seat and belts delete [source: this forum]
- 20Kg saved by swapping sport seats for carbon seats [source: Porsche]
3) Lightweight rear glass
- 4Kg saved [source: Porsche]
4) Reduced sound insulation
- 5Kg saved [source: Porsche, from the 911R; no reason to believe the T is different]
5) Door straps
-0.5Kg saved [source: Porsche]
6) No PCCM
-n/a in N. America
Total = 39.25Kg/86.5Lbs lighter than a C2 with the same wheels/mechanical spec.
This is significant!
Reviews typically quote a 20Kg weight reduction. That must be rear seat delete (9.75Kg), sound deadening & door straps (5.5Kg),and the lightweight glass (4kg); all other specs being the same.

Like for like, by deleting rear seats and PCM, and fitting lightweight glass, I believe the T is 20kg lighter than a 991.2 C2. This reduces to 5kg by the time 20” wheels and a few other bits are added that feature in the T spec.

Very close to what I ordered. Are those wheels satin black? I ordered satin black wheels with my gt silver build as I thought there would be a bit more contrast. Car looks great
