Going completely off-topic here but I have to ask: why spend that much for a Carrera T in a world the Cayman GTS 4.0 exists and is superior in virtually everything that matters for a sports car for significantly less?


Manual transmission and purism. I am not in the financial position to buy a Porsche, but if I was I would not go for the best power to price ratio, but for the car that gives me most joy.


I had to double check in case they removed it for MY 2024 but they didn't: the GTS comes stock with a manual, the PDK is an option that costs over 3k€.

Regarding the joy, I get it but that's why I asked: the GTS comes with the 4.0 NA engine and incredible balance (though I haven't driven a 992 so I can't speak from experience there).


For me it would be AWD. I live in an area that gets a lot of rain, and I frequently travel through a mountain pass that gets snow in the winter.


Are you perhaps thinking of the Carrera 4? The T is RWD only.
