The first Porsche I signed up for... a Porsche 911 Carrera T!

Porsche 911 Carrera T

As the title says.My contract, my first Porsche, became a Porsche 911 Carrera T (992.1).

It just so happens that the Carrera T frame was awarded, and we had been keeping it under wraps until we could tell you about it on the blog, but now that the status has finally been put into production, we are happy to report it on the blog.

Carrera T is a pure sports car that has been stripped of various elements to achieve lightweight and simplicity.

911 Carrera T

In 2017, when the Carrera T returned with the 991 model, Porsche's newsroom said, "Less is moreIt is a very genuine 911, which is impressive that it was introduced under the title of "The 911.

Currently, the "Track your Dream" service of "My Porsche" seems to be able to keep track of the current status (production and delivery status) of the Porsche you have ordered.

."Still only for Porsches made in Zuffenhausen."Only 911 and 718 models are available.I wonder if the number of target car models is increasing from time to time.

As for my Carrera T, I kept accessing and checking every day to see "what's the status now" and "has production started?" (even though nothing changes when I look at it every day like that) Finally, the status is now in production!

My Porsche

I'm still so excited when this happens...!

So far, things are proceeding according to the schedule that was stated when I first accessed MyPorsche, but I don't know what will happen in the future, so I will wait patiently and not expect things to be on schedule.

Porsche 911 Carrera T Specifications

My husband has been very excited about the Carrera T this time around.

The Carrera T is a base Carrera with more options than the S. But this time, the options are very limited, so I'm having a hard time choosing..."

He said.

Indeed, for this Carrera T, there is no choice of PDCC or PCCB, and only three wheel options. The chassis is set up with only PASM sport suspension.

By the way, the specifications I chose are as follows

Transmission is 7-speed manual transmission, left-hand drive.
I had always thought, "The 992's PDK is smart, so let's go with PDK," but when it came to the Carrera T, I knew I wanted a left-hand drive MT, so I didn't hesitate to go with the MT.

The interior color is Carrera T Interior Package (contrast color: straight gray).

Adaptive sports seats (18-way electric adjustment) with memory package
If I had to, I thought it would be nice to have a memory function without having to adjust the sheet every time.

Rear Seat
I often travel with three children, so I guess it is a two-seater in the Carrera T sense...but four seats were a must.

Sport Design Package
The 911 Cabriolet that is currently in my house also has the Sport Design Package, and I chose this one because I really like the atmosphere of this car.

Side window trim Black:
Since the body color is crayon, I selected black to match.

Front axle lift system
The PASM sport chassis has a lower ride height, so considering the range of activities in our house (there are many supermarkets and convenience stores with quite a few steps), we decided to keep the lift-up.

Rear Axle Steering: Rear axle steering
I was thinking that it is not necessary to install the rear axle steering as I don't drive hard on roads such as mountain passes and Ashiyu Driveway... but the lightweight Carrera T with the rear axle steering might be very fun to drive...! I took the plunge and put it on. I decided to take the plunge and put it on.

Interior package (painted in the same color as the exterior)
This was a free option, and I put it on because it accentuated the almost completely black interior.

The rest includes 20/21-inch Carrera S wheels in high-gloss titanium gray, LED headlights, Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS Plus), lane change assist, heated GT Sport steering wheel (leather), storage package, speedometer panel in white

It is.

Here's what this did to the price...

911 Carrera T

Wow almost 20 million !!!!

."I want this one too, let's put that one on, oh, if we're going to put this one on, let's put that one on already...The number of options snowballed and this is the result (explosion).

But it's a spec I'm comfortable with (one thing I'm not sure about is how stiff the sport chassis is...), so all I have to do is earn my money and try to maintain it properly.

We have a rough idea of when the delivery date will be, but we hope to provide more information on our blog as it becomes available.

    Congratulations on the start of production!

    I can't wait for the car to be delivered!

    I'm patiently waiting in line (laughs).

    I have back pain, so I want lumbar support and seat angle adjustment, so I have to choose between 14-way and 18-way, but the cost is really high.

    I've been bothered lately, BOSE has been suspended and reopened,...
    Some advise music on 911, etc., but I want to listen to my favorite tunes while winding down, so...that is my #1 concern.

    I look forward to seeing you update us on your progress.

    • Mina.Mina.

      Mr. Wind Slope.
      Thank you!
      Thanks to your help, we were able to make it this far.

      >Lately, I've been bothered by the fact that BOSE has been shutting down and reopening, and...
      Really, every time I look at it, the options available change, and I get burnt out...
      I imagine it would be a great drive, winding down to one of my favorite songs, with the sunset in the background, the morning sunrise, and the ocean in the background... ^^^^.

      I will keep you posted on our progress!

    Hello Mina-san and Hiro-san.

    Congratulations!
    At last, at last!

    In this day and age, it seems that the options are limited.

    And, although he knew the advantages of PDK, he was still a little reluctant to try it. The MT Carrera T is the best choice.
    I think it's an excellent choice.

    For some reason, even I can't wait to see it, and I look forward to another enjoyable progress report.

      Thank you! At last, at long last: !!!!

      I don't really feel it yet, but I'm looking forward to waiting for the delivery of the car.
      I will report back!

    I always enjoy reading your articles.
    I drive a 991.1 Carrera S.

    If I could order a 992.1 Carrera T, I would have a left-hand drive MT.
    I thought it would come with a rear seat.
    Can't wait to see the car delivered!

    By the way, the recent 911 manual transmissions are not mechanical in transmission.
    I'm told it's not connected and is more like an electrical switch.
    Is it true?

    • Mina.Mina.

      Mr. Curry and Rice.

      Thank you for visiting my blog!
      I'm not used to driving on the left, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to drive it properly, but I'm looking forward to taking delivery of my car!

      >By the way, the recent 911 manual transmissions are not mechanical in transmission.
      I'm told it's not connected and is more like an electrical switch.
      Is it true?

      I asked my husband about it.
      The current 911 MT uses the same PDK mechanism for the MT..."
      I wonder if that's what I've heard.

      I used to have a 911 (991.2) GT3 manual transmission that spun when I kept my foot on the gas pedal and engaged the clutch.
      I wonder if the same is true for this Carrera T."
      and so on.

    I always enjoy reading your blog!
    I'm a little nervous (lol) because it's been a while since I've commented.

    Congratulations on the start of production.
    Even if you actually place an order, you may be a little anxious until it goes into production.
    I am really looking forward to the delivery of the 911T, which was ordered with great care.

    I look forward to your continued blogging of our progress.

      Turbo. Mr.
      Thank you for visiting my blog and commenting after all these years (LOL)!
      Finally, the status is now in production.

      Yes, until they actually start production, I don't know what's in store for me...
      I am relieved for the moment.

      I will report back on my blog.

    I always enjoy looking at your site.
    Congratulations, you have just received your new car. I look forward to seeing your car delivered.
    I'm currently driving a 991.2 GT3.
    I could have been in a Carrera t too.
    The specifications are similar, but the interior and rear axle seem to be different.
    I will miss GT3, but I will say goodbye to it.

    • Mina.Mina.

      Mr. Berry.
      Thank you!

      >I'm currently on a 991.2 GT3.
      I could have been in a Carrera t too.

      Oh yes!
      GT3 to Carrera T!

      I am sad to say goodbye to my GT3, but I am looking forward to meeting my new partner.
      Please keep 'em coming!

    Thank you for asking mina and hiro.

    I heard that the 911 MT has a single clutch to divert the PDK unit or something, but I would like to know if the shift and shaft are mechanically connected or through the PDK actuator.

    This may be a maniacal question, but if anyone knows, please let me know.

  7. Amnesiac middle-aged man

    We expected GTS, but we were impressed by ・・・・ that you chose the stoic T left manual transmission.

    The days of excitement never stop, do they?

    Congrats on getting production up and running ASAP!!!

    • Mina.Mina.

      Amnesiac middle-aged man.

      Thank you!
      In fact, many people told us that they thought it was GTS.

      I was thinking, "I'm done with MT for a while."
      I chose MT again (laughs).
      I hope I can keep you posted on our progress in the coming days!

      Please do!

    I always enjoy reading your blog!

    I am waiting for delivery of my 992targa4.

    T crayons are great!
    And left MT...
    That's what I'm talking about!

    I was also initially on the waiting list for a T slot, but in a strange turn of events, I won a slot for Targa 4.
    The specifications are the same crayon, the targa bar is black and the whee are also le black.
    It is a little bit austere specification.

    But Track your Dream has been waiting for a month for the ship to sail. w

    We're both looking forward to taking delivery of your car!

    • Mina.Mina.

      Thank you for visiting my blog!

      >I was also initially waiting for a slot in T, but in a strange turn of events, I won a slot in Targa 4.
      Oh yes! Congratulations!
      And the targer bar is black, the wheels black, so stylish!

      So even if production is finished, it can take a while for the ship to sail,...
      Will we ever be in the same boat (laughs)?
      Thank you for your continued support!

    Congratulations on the start of production.
    I look forward to the progress of My Porsche.

    When I looked at the contents of the order, I was impressed by the attention to detail and the attention to detail that went into each option.
    The Panamera that I decided to purchase thanks to this blog was recently delivered to me. Although it has only been a few days since I got it, I am enjoying it so much that I can't even get to work.

    The Panamera is manufactured in Leipzig, but I was actually able to see the status of the car until delivery at My Porsche. However, maybe because I was the first Porsche, I received the My Porsche invoice just after it left the Emden port, and even then, it was confirmed with the status of being in transit to the port, and I was at sea until just before delivery lol.

    We look forward to continuing to work with you in the future.

    • Mina.Mina.

      hidenori
      Thank you!
      We finally made the purchase.

      When you buy a new car, you want to be very particular about the details...
      (And the option prices keep going up, lol)

      >My Panamera, which I decided to purchase thanks to this blog, was recently delivered.
      Oh congratulations!!! Panamera!!!!
      That's right!

      So you can check the status of Leipzig-produced cars, too!
      >We were at sea until just before delivery lol.

      I see!!! LOL!
      I'm glad the car was delivered safely.
      Panamera really is a great car.

      Thank you for your continued support!
