I looked at the one at North Houston about a month ago (it was just a normal fabric roof Targa and they operated the top for me--pretty cool)--they had just gotten it in and the SA said it had been delayed by Porsche and that 2020's would not be available for an unspecified time. I thought there was also one that had just gotten listed at West Houston about the same time.

? Carrera T’s are not fabric roof Targas. There is no 2020 Carrera T, they only made them in 2018 and 2019. Not sure what they are telling you but seems you’re thinking of a completely different car.

You're right--I was talking about a Targa with the retractable roof panel. My mistake.

That would be amusing, since E was the model with fuel injection (Einspritzen). But if Porsche can build an electric car called Turbo, why not?

“We will continue with our puristic sports cars – GT3, GT3 RS, GT2 RS, and our T models,” says CEO Oliver Blume. “You can even get them without a radio. With a manual transmission and all of that. We will reduce up to a minimum.”


I had previously stated I thought there would not be a 992 T - if this article and quote is accurate I stand corrected.

""The lightweight package will also be available on more affordable Carrera and Carrera S models, which may well preclude the need for a ‘T’ version later in the lifecycle. Walliser insisted that the Carrera T versionof the 911 was well received but that it didn’t spend sufficiently long enough in the marketplace for Porsche to know for sure whether it should become a permanent fixture of the range.""

They certainly keep us guessing re: the T

Sounds like instead of another T they might just make “lightweight” options available on cars across the range. I like that. If you want say a lightweight GTS - you can spec it.

He also confirms no 4.0 from the 718 in a 911.

Great article. I’m very encouraged by what he said.

“lightweight package” ^^

some speculation that this means no 992 carrera T - as a lightweight option is now available across the model range.
