    Porsche Adds Lightweight 911 Carrera T To Lineup with South African Pricing

    For those Porsche 911 fans wanting a slightly more focused offering without spending the big bucks on a proper GT model then this new Porsche 911 Carrera T is for you.

    Borrowing its hardened, stripped-back ethos from the previous-generation Carrera T, the 992 variant receives a lowered suspension, a lightweight interior and a 380 (283 kW) hp twin-turbo flat-six. The T stands for touring, and Porsche positions this model between the standard 911 Carrera and the more powerful Carrera S.

    The Carrera T launches from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.5 seconds, and powers on to a top speed of 291 km/h (181 mph). As before, the T prioritises tactility and driver involvement over outright pace and is equipped with a seven-speed manual gearbox as standard. A mechanical locking differential also features, along with Porsche Torque Vectoring to aid cornering ability. The Sport Chrono Package and sport exhaust are also on the standard equipment list. Rear axle steering is an option.

    Titanium Grey 20- and 21-inch wheels are unique to the T, along with a lightweight battery, lighter glass and pared-back sound deadening. This model also comes standard with a rear-seat delete. At no cost, a customer can specify the company to put the chairs back in. With the seven-speed manual and all of the mass reduction, a Carrera T weighs 45 kg (100 pounds) less than a base 911 Carrera.

    Cosmetically it sports Agate Gray trim on the mirror covers and model designation badges. The exhaust has black tailpipes and it sits on Titanium Grey Carrera S wheels that have a 20-inch diameter in front and measure 21 inches at the back.

    Jump inside and you will be greeted with a GT Sport steering wheel and four-way adjustable Sport Plus seats. The optional Carrera T Interior Package lets customers select Slate Grey or Lizard Green accents for the seat belts, seat stripes, stitching, 911 logo on the headrests, and floor mats. If someone ticks this box, it’s possible to add leather upholstery to the doors, centre console, and dashboard. Separately, full bucket seats and 18-way Adaptive Sport Seats Plus are available as upgrades.

    The new 911 Carrera T is available in four solid colours Black, White, Guards Red and Racing Yellow as well as in four metallic finishes Deep Black, Gentian Blue, Ice Grey and GT Silver. Available special colours are Chalk, Carmine Red, Shark Blue and Python Green. Buyers of the 911 Carrera T also have the option of using the Paint to Sample programme, which offers paintwork in over 110 available colour tones.

    Porsche South Africa has confirmed that the base price for this will come in at R2,080,000.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
