Porsche 911 Carrera T: la sorella minore della GT3 Touring[:en]Porsche 911 Carrera T: 20 kilos less for an improved feeling

“DRIVING PASSION” RELOADED. PORSCHE SEMBRA AVER INAUGURATO UNA VERA E PROPRIA CORRENTE PRODUTTIVA FOCALIZZATA SUL PURO PIACERE DI GUIDA. DOPO LA GT3 TOURING ECCO UNA 911 CARRERA ISPIRATA ALLA “T” DEL ’67: LA CARRERA T E’ (LEGGERMENTE) PIU’ LEGGERA E CONFIGURATA PER “SENTIRE” LA MACCHINA. PREZZO INTERESSANTE.

Porsche allarga la gamma della 911 Carrera con la nuova versione Carrera T, sviluppata sulla versione entry level (la 911 Carrera da 370 Cv e con trazione posteriore costa 101.704 euro) e contraddistinta da un peso leggermente diminuito (20 kg in meno, pari a 1.425 kg a secco dichiarati dal costruttore) e allestimento speciale focalizzato sulla guida.

Questo modello si affianca, di fatto, alla GT3 con Touring Package presentata al recente salone di Francoforte, quale ulteriore caratterizzazione della 911 secondo un concetto di guida più puro ed emozionale.

(TIMIDO) RITORNO ALLE ORIGINI

La sigla “T” ha un significato ben preciso: torna indietro alla 911 T del 1967. In quell’anno, il secondo di produzione della 911, oltre alla versione base (la 911 con 130 Cv) e la 911 S (la più sportiva, con 160) la gamma fu estesa a due ulteriori versioni: la 911 L (“Lusso”) e la 911 T (“Touring”) equipaggiata con un allestimento semplificato, motore meno potente (110 Cv) e, perciò, prezzo inferiore.

La nuova 911 Carrera T riprende “quasi” tutte le caratteristiche della 911 T del ’67.

CARATTERISTICHE

Al motore boxer 6 cilindri 3 litri biturbo da 370 Cv (con 450 Nm di coppia massima tra 1.750 e 5.000 giri) è abbinato, di serie, il cambio meccanico manuale con 7 rapporti (il doppia frizione PDK è optional), trazione posteriore e differenziale autobloccante meccanico.

Dal punto di vista telaistico, la Carrera T dispone di alcune caratteristiche peculiari, attualmente NON disponibili sulla Carrera:

  • Spoiler anteriore dedicato
  • Specchi laterali Sport Design
  • ruote da 20″ in Titan Grey
  • Lunotto e vetri laterali più sottili
  • Eliminazione sedili posteriori
  • Eliminazione PCM
  • Ammortizzatori a controllo elettronico PASM con assetto ribassato di 20 mm
  • Interno con package T che gioca sul contrasto delle cuciture in Racing yellow, Guards red o GT Silver.
  • Griglia del cofano motore specifica
  • Scarico sportivo
  • Sedili in tessuto Sport-Tex con logo 911 sul poggiatesta (ma si possono montare sedili sportivi a guscio)
  • Leva cambio con escursione accorciata e grafica rossa
  • volante sportivo GT

La Carrera T si può avere nelle colorazioni sono nero, arancio (Lava Orange), rosso (Guards Red), giallo (Racing Yellow), bianco e azzurro (Miami Blue), ai quali si affiancano le finiture metallizzate: bianco (Carrara White), nero (Jet Black) e argento (GT Silver).

PRESTAZIONI E PREZZO

La Porsche 911 Carrera T scatta sullo 0-100 in 4″5 (che scendono a 4″2 nel caso della versione con PDK), 1 decimo di secondo in meno rispetto a una Carrera normale. Il costruttore dichiara, inoltre, 15″1 sullo 0-200 (14″5 con PDK). La velocità massima è di 290 km/h.

Il prezzo chiavi in mano è di 111.586 Euro, circa 10.000 in più rispetto a una 911 Carrera normale.

PURE DRIVING RELOADED. AFTER THE GT3 TOURING PACKAGE, PORSCHE INTRODUCES A SECOND MODELS WITH SPECIFIC TRIM. THE CARRERA T IS “A LITTLE” LIGHTER THAN THE STANDARD MODEL AND OFFERS SOME SPECIFIC EQUIPMENT FOR IMPROVED DYNAMIC FEELINGS. INTERESTINF PRICE.

the new Porsche 911 Carrera T revives the puristic concept behind the 911 T of 1968: less weight, shorter transmission ratios from the manual gearbox and rear-wheel drive with mechanical rear differential lock.

It’s based on the 911 Carrera and gives 272 kW (370 hp) and 450 Nm on a “lighter” package. The 911 Carrera T – at Porsche, “T” stands for Touring – also boasts several other equipment features that are not available for the 911 Carrera, including the PASM sports chassis as standard, lowered by 20 mm, the weight-optimised Sport Chrono Package, a shortened shift lever with red shift pattern and Sport-Tex seat centres. The rear-axle steering, which is not available for the 911 Carrera, is available as an option for the 911 Carrera T.

The rear window and rear side windows are made from lightweight glass and the door trims feature opening loops. The sound absorption has been largely reduced. The rear seats have been omitted along with the Porsche Communication Management (PCM), though both are still available on request at no additional cost. The result of the lightweight construction measures: At an unladen weight of 1,425 kilograms, the two-seater is 20 kilograms lighter than a 911 Carrera with comparable equipment.

The 911 Carrera T will be available from January 2018 and can be pre-ordered now. In Germany, the price will be EUR 107,553 including VAT and country-specific features.

BODY DESIGN

At the front, the 911 Carrera T features an aerodynamically optimised front spoiler lip, and the Sport Design exterior mirrors are painted in Agate Grey Metallic. From the side, the new model is recognisable thanks to its 20-inch Carrera S wheels in Titan Grey. The “911 Carrera T” logos represent another distinctive feature at the side. The rear view is characterised by the slats in the rear lid grille, the Porsche logo, the “911 Carrera T” model designation in Agate Grey and the sports exhaust system provided as standard.

The exterior colour options are Black, Lava Orange, Guards Red, Racing Yellow, White and Miami Blue, as well as the metallic colours Carrara White, Jet Black and GT Silver.

INTERIOR

The driver enjoys black, four-way, electric sports seats with a seat centre in Sport-Tex fabric, while the headrests feature a “911” logo stitched in black. This new Carrera T model also comes with the option to choose full bucket seats for the first time. Steering actions are completed via the GT sports steering wheel with leather rim, and the mode switch provided on the steering wheel as standard allows the driver to select different driving programmes. The shortened shift lever with shift pattern in red remains exclusive to the 911 Carrera T. The decorative trims on the dashboard and doors are black, as are the door opening loops. A new addition is the T interior package, which creates an even sportier look with the contrasting colours of Racing Yellow, Guards Red or GT Silver. These colours can be used to add visual accents on various interior components, such as the seat belts, the “911” logo on the headrests, the door opening loops or the centres of the Sport-Tex seats.

PERFORMANCE

The twin turbocharged flat-six engine generates 272 kW (370 hp) and a maximum torque of 450 Nm, delivering between 1,750 rpm and 5,000 rpm. The weight-to-power ratio has been improved to 3.85 kg/hp. Thanks to a shorter rear axle ratio and mechanical differential lock, the 911 Carrera T can sprint from zero to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds – 0.1 seconds faster than the 911 Carrera Coupé. The model reaches the 200-km/h limit in just 15.1 seconds. Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) is also available as an option on the Carrera T, enabling the vehicle to reach 100 km/h in 4.2 seconds, and 200 km/h in 14.5 seconds. Both transmission variants enable a top speed of over 290 km/h.
