The perfect Carrera T.

The other day, my husband went to Ashiari in his Carrera T (MT) and he and his wife alwaysTAKURO, a Porsche ownerto drive the Carrera T for us,

Mr. TAKURO, you are very impressed,It's a perfect issue! I want one!" "Hey, can I have another one? This is the Porsche I want most right now!I've heard great praise for it, so if you'd like to hear more about what I think of it, I'd be happy to give you more details.

And my husband reported back to me laughing when he got home (laughter).

Me too,I am very happy with the ride quality and driving performance, which has been changing rapidly since the delivery of the car,I was very happy to hear Mr. TAKURO say that.

So later, Mr. TAKURO sent us his impressions (in great detail... thank you very much!). ) I hope to introduce it in this blog.

By the way, there is no fakery in the content here (...or rather, it's a personal blog to begin with, so there's no need for anyone to make a discovery).How did the owner, who owns a 981 Boxster GTS and a 964C2 Porsche and loves to drive, feel about driving a 992 Carrera T?"I would appreciate it if you could read this as a pure impression.

Impressions of the Carrera T from Porsche owners

Ride comfort and suspension

First of all, I found the ride to be more comfortable and pleasant than I had imagined, although I had an impression that the ride quality of the 992's sport suspension was quite stiff,This will not make your butt sore or tired even if you go far or long touring!I thought.

I think it is partly due to the thickness of the seat cushions. (This Carrera T has the Sport Plus electric 18-way seat).

As for the suspension, there was no discomfort at all on the Ashiari road surface (some surfaces are quite bumpy). Even at low speeds, the suspension did not feel that stiff,Although there were times when the road surface felt a little wobbly due to the undulation, as the speed increased, the stability of the vehicle increased.

It was also very good for me to be able to field back the road surface conditions to the steering wheel.

Steering and shift operation

As for the steering wheel, it was so light that at first I wondered if it had Power Steering Plus. I thought the steering wheel was so light and easy to operate that I felt it had power steering plus. I think it is quite easy to operate even in town use.

andThe rear axle steering was felt to be very effective and(The Carrera T can be equipped with optional rear axle steering, which is normally only available for the S and above.) I was surprised that the car turned like it was being sucked in from the middle of a corner, and turned like it was being sucked to the inside.

It was very fun on the winding roads. It made me want to go touring.

The rear is also very stable, allowing for safe cornering at high speeds.

The shift feel of the manual is short shift and crisp.The feel of this car is also to my liking, and above all, shifting is a pleasure. The auto-blipping is also excellent, and I found myself wanting to shift gears unnecessarily.

The clutch operation feels lighter than expected,It would be easy to travel for long periods of time and encounter traffic jams...It was very easy to drive with an almost AT-like feel.

Lightness of car weight, sound, etc.

Overall, the weight of the car felt light.The husband and I looked into it and saw,The battery was a lithium-ion battery.The car was lightweight, and I was tempted to step on the gas pedal.

The exhaust sound was also quite good. The volume when the engine is started is quite powerful.It felt quiet when it started running, but it was just right for me, and I liked the sound of the 992, which was like the sound of an air-cooled engine.When set to sport mode, the elegant bubbling without overdoing it will lift your spirits.

Other, general comments

The rest is a matter of taste, but for me, the left-hand steering wheel position felt more comfortable and easy to control, and I felt it suited my body. The 992 has a high degree of perfection, and I have the impression that it has cyborg-like speed, but there is also the enjoyment of manual operation, the rear axle steering, and the effect of weight reduction,It was so much fun and a flawless machine that I couldn't find any flaws.

It's been a while since I've been so excited to see "Oh, I wish I could ride it again!I still think it's a great idea (laughs).

I feel again that it must have been quite good because I don't often feel this way.

992 Carrera T, the all mighty best Porsche for daily use, long touring and for the track. The body color, interior, and parts are all monotone, which is great!

2023 Carrera T without GPF.

Once again, I would like to reiterate to Mr. TAKURO thatPlease write it in a crazy good way!I didn't say anything like that (laughs).

if you need to knowIt would be a lie if I were to give you such high praise, so I would rather say, "Is there anything you don't like about this place?I even asked him about it (he said, "No, I don't have it, it's a perfect issue...").

Perhaps for those who like the old air-cooled Porsches, or those who like the weight of the clutch and the direct feel of driving with human hands, I am sure it will not be enough (it is too well made), but at least for someone like me.There's no 911 that's so much fun and can be run anywhere.It's so much fun, comfortable, and a great companion.

Also, and this is a side note, my husband just took a picture of the Carrera T's undercarriage and said, "It looks like it doesn't have GPF...And. My husband is going to do a lot of research to find out which model has GPF on it (is it the year, the grade...?). My husband is going to do a lot of research to find out.

First 992 Carrera T (MY2023), second 992 Carrera Cabriolet (MY2020).
Bottom line, as far as I can see, I don't think the Carrera T has a GPF. By the way, the part numbers for both of these catalysts are 992 131 703. pic.twitter.com/eDQfQMjk98

Anyway, I would love to hear from other owners who have driven the Carrera T and hear their various impressions. Before that, I have to finish breaking in the car (900km at last).

Thank you very much, TAKURO! We hope you will ride with us again!
