Porsche Of The Day: 2018 Porsche 911 Carrera T – Safari-Style

The 2018 Porsche 911 Carrera T was introduced as a model positioned between the entry-level Carrera and the more powerful Carrera S. Unlike the original, budget-focused 1960s 911 T, the Carrera T targeted purists craving an unfiltered driving experience, incorporating high-performance elements from across the Porsche lineup.

Retaining the Carrera’s 3.0-liter, 365-hp turbocharged engine and chassis, it borrowed key upgrades, including the Porsche Active Suspension Management  system from the GTS, a shorter 3.59:1 final drive from the Carrera S, and a limited-slip differential.

The Carrera T also featured the Sport Chrono package, complete with dynamic engine mounts, a drive-mode selector on the steering wheel, a twin-exit sports exhaust, and 20-inch wheels. Further weight savings were achieved with rear seat removal, lighter glass, and GT3-inspired fabric door pulls, reducing weight by 20 kg.

This particular Carrera T has been customized with off-road “Safari” features, including custom bumpers, Baja Designs auxiliary lights, and a roof basket. Additional upgrades include Rotiform wheels, BFGoodrich All-Terrain tires, aftermarket suspension, enhanced braking, engine management upgrades, and carbon-fiber seats.
