Porsche boosted the 3.2-litre flat-six engine to 264 BHP, up from 258.
Most of the 1953 units were finished in a special GT Silver Metallic, a colour only found on the Carrera GT and ‘40 Years of the 911’ models.
Absolute beaut of a car, sadly had to sell it after 2 years with just (a sinful amount!) 3k miles on the clock as the family grew.
BTW was never a fan of the "fried egg' headlights on this car and the 996!
I recently sold my 986 S 550 Spyder Anniversary Edition to help make room for my incoming T.
Maybe I should've installed a lift in the garage instead. 😭

I'm happy to say, that the car is just as amazing looking in person as I hoped it would be. The Gentian Blue is exactly what I was looking for - the weather was so bad in Atlanta that it was the day after we picked the car up that I finally saw it in sunlight, and this morning was the first time I saw it in sunlight and clean, and it's exactly what I was aiming for. I'm not sure that my photos do Gentian Blue justice either though...









GB is deep and sublime and chalameonic.

my 4yo daugther saw it under direct sunlight after a couple of days and she yelled " daddy it's purple and sparkly!!!!"

991.1 traded in.

A little gift to the thread - one of the best Porsche brand ambassadors will do a video review on his channel of my 992T for delivery. Will post it on this thread, and add it to the first post if possible. Just a few more days!

Getting closer… I am curious, are you keeping your 997.2?

Cool T minus ~30 days

New to Rennlist, and a first-time Porsche owner! After more than 2 years of waiting for my GTS allocation, I was informed it would be another year, however, for the pain of waiting they provided me with this allocation, '23 Carrera T. After much research and many conversations with enthusiasts, it seems I came out on top with this one! 7spd, IGM.

Any suggestions or tips are welcomed!

@Bayamon Welcome on board!
Yes - you’ve been lucky getting into the T.
Every (every!) review of the T so far has referred to it as the best non GT version of the 992, a future classic!
Not long now….
