The 2023 Porsche 911 Carrera T Manual Is A Perfectly Balanced Purist Sports Car 

Kirk please review the 911 T also! You and Sofyan both are magnificent!!

Watching this I just went on their site to configure one for fun (as I can't afford it for real). Around $115k to start, and you can easily get $20k worth of options on a car that should have them standard for 6-digit price tag. I understand this is for a different target demographic, but come on...

I agree 100%.

You can buy a corvette if you want to save some money. Or there are lots of used Porsche sports cars. But there are no cars like a Porsche 911.

@@jeffreykilpatrick3592 You won't find any deals on the pre-owned market either. Porsche buyers are too willing to overpay and that isn't going to end anytime soon. I actually would consider a C8 Corvette at some point. It's the performance car bargain of the century.

you know why? because RU-vid is full of narcissistic idiots that flexes their ego by owning a a Porsche(usually GT3 or Turbo) because those wannabe "purists" do not settle for less. So Porsche is doing what any other company there would do: overcharging :) There are channels that literally review just Porsche cars: "with my Porsche for a coffee" , "with my Porsche for for a trio with my girlfriend"..

Not offering a surround camera system on a $150K car is criminal. I could understand a camera delete option for free for the track enthusiasts.

@@jojosaves sorround camera is not standard but it’s is offered? Maybe $1k?! Not sure.

Congrats on your new T! Mine is also Python Green and ETA is early May. I didn’t opt for Aero Kit but Porsche rejected to add Aero Kit who added Aero Kit after 25th of January 2023. I read thread from Rennlist.

Why is the similar engine 3.0 on T or on S reving better on a T?

@@alb3096 again - the S has larger diameter turbo blades essentially than the T engine- this does produce around 50 more hp- but the larger blades don’t seem to provide the same immediate burst of speed like the smaller diameter blades on the T.

The Boxster is just not as good-looking, though. Like not even close.

@@thomasferrarojr.9772 disagree I think it’s better looking. Aside from the GT3, all the other versions have a gaping front grille and a plastic filled rear diffuser. Looks cheap as f**k. Easily reminds me of some significantly cheaper econoboxes

@@ayushmalpeddi2793 OK. 👍🏼

What are have you got instead?

10000%. What is the point of the 911T when you can get the 718 GTS for far cheaper, with a mid-engine. Yea. The 718 has a pretty spartan inrerior, but it will drive better and is faster. Correct in that 0-60 in 4.5 is all you really need. But the power boost from the 718 from a cheaper standpoint is nice.

With a 911 Carrera T avoiding 18 way electric seats and taking the "basic seats" is also very usable for getting a sports car as light as possible. Also the optional carbon fibre roof would be very useful to avoid mass at the highest point of the vehicle, for even bringing down the center of gravity.

Only Gts and Gt4 are being allocated at the moment. 718 production is almost over

@@fadablayne source?!

Nope, it's inferior.

It's Lizard Green stitching and belts

@@joe718gt4 sorry yes that’s correct - thanks. But still doesn’t match the Viper Green exterior. It’s more more yellow or neon than the exterior.

@golfbuddy1969 yeah you'd have to go CXX if they allow it. I thought of going Python on Lizard, but now I want Rubystar Neo with yellow belts and Rubystar Neo trim. Actually saves a couple of thousand too

Both are great cars...I sold a 997 X51 911S a few years ago to get a Shelby GT350, and recently sold a GT500 Shelby that will be replaced by a GT Touring. Handling, MT and interior finish on the P Cars are better. The 5.2V8 sounds better than the flat 6 and has way more oomph.

Actually, those are agate accents. Check their website

Wheels are titanium, but the painted body accents are agate

Also note: the T sits 10mm lower than your car so is more likely to scrape even when approaching driveways at an angle.

They're great...I only miss having a memory button

What do you expect...? A Porsche 911 sports car for Kia money? What's the problem with so many Americans? Porsche is producing the best sports cars out there, and of course these cars don't come cheap, period! This is just a fact. Always complaining about these things is so fucking annoying. Do you want the "right for getting a brandnew Porsche 911 for only 60.000 Dollars"? For example, a shitty built and unreliable Aston Martin Vantage would cost you more than double or threetimes the price of a Porsche 911 model, which of course is way better built and of course faster than an Aston Martin. Why are so many Americans complaining about Porsche 911 prices, but not about stupidly high Aston Martin prices??? I don't get it. A Porsche 911 is worth every penny of its prize, dude! Greetings from Stuttgart, Germany

@@user-jf8gd3lv7q Get off your soapbox there Mr. Stuttgart. You're clearly not subjective about this topic at all. Furthermore, I'm not an American, but thanks a lot for making the assumption. :) Nobody said they should cost $60k. Nor do I expect every feature. But the issue is they START at $115k for a sub-400hp flat 6. Sorry if I expect a few features from this? I'm not saying they're comparable or that they're the same thing in terms of prowess, quality, reputation, appearance, etc. And I'm also not a BMW fan boy by any means. But you can get an M4 comp for $80k, loaded for $90-95k with extra 100hp and same amount of cylinders. And for Porsche to ask for extra payment for better headlights after a $115k starting price tag is still ridiculous. That's what I don't get. Lastly - why bring up Aston Martin? Nobody was talking about that and yea, if Aston had same pricing I'd be complaining just the same. Once you crest a 6-digit price tag, nickeling and diming for features is just sad.

Euro spec car

This is a manual. The PDK version is hitting 60 in 3.6 seconds.

Why “lol”?

@@TheHoosiers2008 he goes on many Porsche videos to say the same thing over and over again. It's probably his third account at this point

He always compare Porsche to other super cars, obviously, it’s cheaper than other super cars.

@@blackwhirlwind1245 A 911t IS NOT A SUPER CAR a GT3RDs or a 911 Turbo maybe.

@@andresmattos7541 well, it’s still expensive for just a sports car.

@Paul Bugoni damn almost as fast as my civic..🤣😜...seriously a nice car if overpriced

You cannot characterize the LC 500 as a sports car.

Bro if ur broke just say it

@@Tjz30 Bro you know my bank account?

Every Porsche is expensive, you buy it for the badge.

You’ve completely missed the point of what the T is in the 911 lineup. This is a driver focused sports car that actually corners without exhibiting the Audisteer/Understeering mess that is an Audi when pushed to its limits. For morons who care only about 0-60 times, they can go buy a Tesla (that, like the Audi, also handles like 💩 ). Personally, couldn’t care less about 0-60 times but since it’s the top priority for you, did you not hear him say that 4.3 was the estimate for the manual and 3.8 was the estimate for PDK?

Anything more than third will get you busted if you're pushing it.

Yea, but what if you already owned the m3/m4 and want to try something different? You're also more likely to get a "better" model the next time around. There's levels to this car ish, like it or not unfortunately.

@@fadablayne yes base 911 is not $135k special. With $130k-$140k in used car sports market you could find super low milage mint condition McLaren 570s, R8, Acura NSX, BENZ AMG GTR, McLaren 12c, 991 Turbo there are others im forgetting. Maybe if base 911 with all the options was around $100k then it was justifiable.. then again it's people with money who doesn't want flashy sports car buy these.
