SIMPLIFY AND MAKE MONEY

Thought Porsche had run out of niches for the 911? The Carrera T suggests otherwise. Buoyed by the success of the far pricier 911 R, Porsche is now opening up its simpler mechanical and no-frills formula lower down the range and, crucially, with no limit on production.

This is bang on trend. As cars get more technically complex, there is a growing demand for such simplified pleasures. With the 911’s seemingly infinite flexibility, it’s a no-brainer for Porsche. The only people miffed might be those who spent so much on the limited-run 911 R.
