    New Porsche 911 Carrera T Brings More Focus For Less Money

    What you see here is the new Porsche 911 Carrera T and it somehow raises standard equipment levels and lowers weight and reduces the price of a normal Carrera.

    The 911 Carrera line-up is expanding once again with this model inspired by the 1968 911 T and it has been designed to offer a more focused driving experience than its Carrera and Carrera S siblings, without the steep price tag and exclusivity of the more serious GT3.

    You get the regular 3.0-litre flat-six turbocharged unit from the Carrera packing 365 horsepower but you also get a 7-speed manual gearbox with shorter gear ratios. This brings the 0 to 100 km/h sprint down to 4.5 seconds which is a tenth faster than the regular 911 Carrera. If you are not one who likes to shift yourself, do not fret as it will be offered with a PDK box too.

    The Carrera T inherit a few weight reduction techniques used by the GT3 such as thinner rear and side glass and the option to delete the sound system. Inside you get fabric door pulls some bespoke textile sports seats and colour-matched stitching in one of three shades.

    Thanks to these measures, the kerb weight drops by 20kg to 1,425kg this can be decreased further if you decide to spec the “full bucket” seats available on GT3’s. This is an option not available to other 911’s.

    Standard on the Carrera T are PASM Sport adaptive dampers with a 10mm drop in ride height, the Sport Chrono pack and Porsche’s Sports Exhaust system with centrally mounted outlets. Four-wheel steering can be added as an option, and a mechanical limited slip diff is another standard fit item.

    To the regular individual, it will be rather hard to tell if it is a Carrera T as the only external styling changes are agate grey detailing and a deeper front splitter.

    We said “less money” in the title and we are not lying because if you specify a standard Carrera to this level and even without the bespoke components and PASM (which is not available on a standard Carrera), you’ll be over the £85k asking price anyway.

    The 911 Carrera T is available for order now with first units in South Africa expected at the end of February 2018, at a basic retail price of R1,536,000 inclusive of a 3-year/100 000km Drive Plan.

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?

    • The new BMW M240i xDrive barely puts a foot wrong. The price is right, it's crushingly quick, more than practical enough to daily and if you only look at the front, it is very easy on the eye 😉 

It pulls properly hard, doesn’t feel turbocharged in its response, and delivers thrills when you want them. The extra confidence and pace afforded by the sweet pairing of the straight-six petrol engine and the rear-biased xDrive AWD system make the M240i an enticing proposition all of its own.

If you gave any BMW fan a wish list and asked them to build the perfect car given the company's current resources, it probably wouldn't be too far off this one.
