Porsche is expanding its offerings with two new models, the 911 Carrera T and the Macan T. Both vehicles are designed to deliver a purist driving experience, with sporty equipment and exceptional performance capabilities.
The 911 Carrera T is a lightweight sports car that slots in between the 911 Carrera and the 911 Carrera S. It is powered by a biturbo engine with 385 PS * and 450 Newton metres of torque. The standard model features a seven-speed manual gearbox, but an eight-speed PDK is also available. The PASM sports suspension, which lowers the car by 10 mm, and reduced insulation make the 911 Carrera T an embodiment of purism and thrilling driving. The six-cylinder boxer engine produces a more pronounced sound in the interior, adding to the overall driving experience.
The standard 911 Carrera T is equipped with Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) and a mechanical rear differential lock, and it also comes with the Sport Chrono Package. The car weighs just 1,470 kg, making it the lightest series 911 with the entry-level engine. The 911 Carrera T stands out with its Dark Grey accentuated exterior details and the exclusive four-way Sports seats Plus in the interior. The car is available in eight colours, and buyers can also choose from over 110 colours through the Paint to Sample programme.
Fewer kilograms equals more agility and contact with the road is more important than ever.
The 911 Carrera T is a commitment to purism. A conscious release for increased driving pleasure.
Standing out where others disappear into the masses: the new Macan T. Young, dynamic and urban, with extensive standard equipment, model-specific design features - and, of course, typical Porsche performance.
The Macan T is the first four-door sports car from Porsche that will feature the letter “T”, which stands for touring. The two-litre, four-cylinder turbo engine of the Macan T combines great agility, low weight and a compact design to create a package that offers an ideal balance of weight and performance.
Compared to the 2.9-litre biturbo V6 engine in the Macan S and GTS models, the powertrain in the Macan T weighs 58.8 kg less on the front axle. This gives the vehicle an excellent start-off performance and optimum cornering ability.
The Macan T has an output of 195 kW / 265 PS* and 400 Nm of torque – characteristics that suit the precise vehicle design and deliver an exhilarating drive. As is generally the case with the compact SUV, the engine is coupled with a fast-switching seven-speed dual clutch transmission (PDK) and the Porsche Traction Management (PTM) all-wheel drive system. A broad spread of torque provides responsive acceleration in all driving situations. The Macan T accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.2 seconds and reaches a top speed of 232 km/h with the standard Sport Chrono Package including the mode switch and Sport Response button on the steering wheel. The Macan T also features the Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) system, which provides a sporty driving experience and improved handling.
The Macan T comes with a range of standard equipment, including a sporty exterior with a black front grille, 20-inch wheels, and an exhaust system with black tailpipes. The interior features eight-way sport seats, a sport steering wheel, and Porsche's Connect Plus infotainment system. The Macan T is available in six colours, and buyers can also opt for the Paint to Sample programme.
In conclusion, the Porsche 911 Carrera T and Macan T are two new models from Porsche that offer a purist driving experience and exceptional performance capabilities. Whether you're looking for a lightweight sports car or a four-door sports car, these new models from Porsche are sure to deliver.
