The T in the Carrera doesn’t stand for Turbo. Instead, it stands for Touring. Porsche has focused on taking the weight out of the new car as it has lighter glass on rear and side windows.

The car is also equipped with sound insulation. The exterior of the car is quite different from its other siblings such as it has an altered front bumper. Furthermore, the car features a 20-inch alloy wheel. However, the vehicle doesn’t feature rear seats—in simple terms; the car has only two seats. Moreover, the car also doesn’t house a radio.

Looking at the Porsche lineup, one can argue that the German carmaker is now focusing its energies on making track cars that are suitable for the road. Having just a thoroughbred race car might sound fun, but it can get quite tiresome if you intend to use the car as your daily runner. On the other hand, cars like this new 2018 Porsche 911 Carrera T hit the sweet spot with being track oriented as well as being easy to live to with.
