Porsche has kept its promise of making more enthusiast-oriented models by taking the wraps off the 2018 Porsche 911 Carrera T. The Carrera T (Touring) could be considered as a budget 911 R and takes inspiration from the 911 T of 1968, retaining the twin-turbo 3.0-liter flat-six of the regular Carrera, rather than receiving a motorsport-inspired naturally-aspirated engine like the R. Nevertheless, the car still delivers a respectable 370 hp and 339 lb-ft of torque between 1750 rpm and 5000 rpm.

The driver also gets to enjoy a six-speed manual sports transmission with short gearshift travel, as Porsche points out. Once up to speed, the 911 R will max out at 323 km/h (200 mph) -  quicker than the GT3 RS , which makes sense since the 'R' undercuts it by 50 kg (110 lbs). By the way, those who care about fuel ...
