The Carrera T: Brilliant Driver’s Car or Overhyped Marketing Trick?


Listen Later

In this week’s episode of Rennthusiast Radio, Will and Derek go head-to-head on the 992.1 Carrera T. Will actually owned one—specced it, drove it, and sold it after only a few thousand miles. Derek’s driven several 992s and just dropped a full review on his channel, ElevenAfterNine, comparing the modern T to his 1972 911 T.


Is the Carrera T a genuine driver’s car built for purists, or a marketing exercise in nostalgia? We dig into:

- Will’s real-world ownership experience—why it didn’t live up to the hype

- How the modern T compares to earlier generations (991.2 T, 911 E/S)

- Rear-axle steering, manual gearbox feel, and the “purity paradox”

- What Porsche got right—and what makes it feel a little too digital

- Will’s latest garage shake-up and his growing itch for another air-cooled 911


If you’re considering a Carrera T—or just love hearing two longtime Porsche addicts argue their way to the truth—this one’s for you.
