Given that the 992T doesn't even have buckets or PCCBs available as options, I don't blame those who view the T as a parts bin special. The 992 more so than the 991. RAS and MT seem to be the only hard deviations from the base and most of the weight savings are from the MT in the 992. We can sit here and split hairs all day. Ultimately, everyone can define for themselves what the T means. For me, it's as light, spartan, and driver focused. A T with rear seats, sunroof, and PDK is just a base with stickers to me. No offense to the many who loaded up their Ts. It's just my opinion.

 

Nowhere near as cool as my kids in the backseat riding with me.

 

Agree. It’s night and day.

 

Tell us you don’t know Porsche history without saying you don’t know Porsche history.

This. ^^^

 

Weird. Hopefully that was the only production mistake!

 

That is cool. And a nice touch.

 

A week ago, I would have called you nuts and said leather dash is a no brainer! But...back to the ethos of the T being a "bare bone" driver focused car. This actually makes a lot of sense to me now. In fact, the non-leather is probably more durable, especially if you plan use the car to its true touring potential - aka driving in all weather and environments, taking it camping in the dessert like @996roadtrip, etc

For those of you that own other Porsche's or 911s, this will also vastly differentiate between what you already have as I assume leather stitching is quite popular to option for most 911 owners (me included)

 

Tell us you make assumptions without telling us you're making assumptions.

 

Well now my mind is wandering… I guess we’ll find out Monday!

 

whoa...looks amazing

 

Yep.

 

I’m with you. A simple cost/benefit says keep seats. It’s not a GT3 and deleting rear seats won’t make it one, though it might make pretending easier for some. Only Porsche can convince people it’s cool to pay the same amount to take less.

 

If you are keeping rear seats and cant get LWB….then just get a C2.

Either way you are a part of the Porsche marketing.

If we are talking history, many original T's were optioned with S equipment, including Fuchs, S brakes, the full S gauge package, etc. Contrary to what the current Porsche marketing says, I'm not aware of the original T weighing less than an E or S. It just had the lowest HP motor. Trying to connect it to the original is funny. Here is the build sheet for my T.
