Just built one and came out to $148k with aerokit lol Thats $20k more than my current one.

I didn’t see options for CCB brakes, Bose, and regular glass windows. Are these coming later on?

Many threads and opinions on that topic. I'll share my perspective/experience here:

I find the 18-ways offer greater flexibility and better support when it is needed. My 911 serves the dual duty of daily driver and track toy. For the daily, I inflate the lumbar support and open both the seat bottom and seat back side bolsters for a nice couch like seat. For the track, I deflate the lumbar support and tighten the seat bottom and seat back side-bolsters for a sug bucket like seat. And the beauty is that both configurations are stored in the memories 1 and 2, so I can switch between street and track setups with the simple press of a button. I have two kids that regularly ride with me, no issue with access to the back seat with the 18-way.

As an additional tidbit, a track buddy of mine has the 4-way Sport+ seats in his C2S. We went back and forth switching between our two cars and both agreed that the 18-way are superior seats overall and he regretted not having them on his car.

In the end, there are no right or wrong choice here, get whatever suits you best.

The base sounds the same as the Bose with volume set to 0 so you can listen to the main attraction!

I have a GTS allocation and never thought the T would come out. I considered swapping because I don't need the extra power in the GTS. But then after playing with the configurator ... the T doesn't offer bucket seats???

I guess they don't want it to compete with the GT$ ?

It looks like GTS is the only non-GT3 that lets you configure buckets seats, rear seat delete, sunroof delete and less noise insulation. The things I want in my next 992 (in a world where I can not get a GT3 or RS allocation).

The press release mentions it with photos of it so I'm guessing the configurator hasn't updated yet.

Probably not. With the supply shortages for PCCB, it makes sense they left it off the T trim. Bose is gone on the base and now T, I suspect that will stick. The lightweight glass is part of the special package for the T so I don't think they'll let you option it out. They'd rather you spend the extra money on an S or build out a base with all these performance options ticked and extra chances to get your money on all the options that are missing from the T package (different interiors, wheel choices etc)

This is pretty consistent with how they handled the 718 T, except the very early 718 T's got PCCBs before that was dropped.

I've got three 2020+ Porsches, each have a different audio system (base, bose, burmeister). Here's my opinion for what it is worth.

• Base. This is the stereo in my Spyder. It's a decent stereo but I rarely use it because I'm usually driving with the top down or at the track. I have on occasion turned it up and nothing impressive, and fairly flat sound.
• Bose. This is in a Boxster 25. It's a noticeable upgrade from the base. Even with the top down you can crank it up and hear more range (and volume) over the base.
• Burmeister. This is in my 992. It's a noticeable upgrade from the Bose, HOWEVER, you need to use a lossless source/service (like Tidal, which offers master quality albums) to utilize the Bermeister, otherwise you're not really going to hear much difference from the Bose. But if you use a lossless source, it's impressive.

Having said all that, honestly, I rarely use the stereo in any of my Porsches. Even the 911, with the Burmeister, I am usually wanting to hear the engine over the stereo. But when I am in the mood to crank up a song, I am happy to have the Bermeister. It also looks great with the doors open.

In my opinion you should get the T for the rear seat delete and take it to the track as much as possible. It will be loud inside and you're going to be fighting engine (and road) noise with any stereo.

If you want a boom box, get the base 992, put extra cash into the newer interior options (like Heritage), add a Burmeister, and you've got an amazing ride. Your lady/dude passengers will love you for it

You're probably right - that makes more sense. I was shocked to not see them in the config.

I think that if/when supply shortages ease, some of those options may come back (MY 2024).

Configured a T similar to my 21 C2S to see how it shakes out. And while I understand the T is designed to be different, the price of the T and my 21 C2S were within $500 of eachother.

Except that the T is missing:
Bose
Illuminated Door Sills
930 Leather Package
Deviated Seat Centers

None of those options are available, and if they were, the price would be undoubtedly be higher.
The T has less color and wheel options.
Smaller engine and smaller brakes.
The comparison is not apples to apples as the MY23 cars have seen price bumps over a MY21 and a new buyer comparing a C2S to a C2T would save some $$ on the T.
But I have a hard time seeing the appeal of this. Originally I thought I would prefer a base Carrera if it came with the manual option, and opted for the S only because of the manual.

In the end I did not just get a bigger engine and better brakes, but also other changes in the suspension, differential, etc. that the base car did not have and which makes the S a noticeable upgrade from the base. The T tries to bridge the gap, and at current pricing gives manual buyers an attractive option. But I personally don't think this is a smart buy for PDK buyers.

I guess I cant be the No T guy anymore :-)

…congrats to all who have been patiently waiting…

Order what you like, but definitely recommend getting your T w. lightweight EVERYTHING, no sunroof, buckets, rear seat delete and manual - IMHO it’s a really special car when spec’d as a proper T and proper spec’d T’s should hold value for a long time


Reading previous posts here and the new T does NOT offer buckets and PCCB? WTF porsche? That is a miss. I could live without the brakes but lightweight buckets are a must for my T!

aggie57

Have to agree with this. KISS principle applies here.

Interior options are set special for the T it seems with the 911 logo on the seats and very few interior options. As to the seats themselves, the buckets don't seem to be an option. They have even limited the exterior colors for the T considerably.

Here you are 😉

I Honestly believed it may not happen just a couple of months ago, my dealer gave nothing away but just told me to be patient.
I have placed an order but as usual with Porsche it's difficult to not add some options.. 8k in options later 😆

I was thinking the T would return as a 992.2 T. Preferably with the analog gauge as the only one in the line up, and rid the darn glossy black plastics all around.
