992.2 New Porsche 911 Carrera T appears in coupe and cabriolet

Ohhhh. Here it comes, here it comes.

I had heard rumors about this model's release and had been waiting for its announcement for a long time, but it's finally here.

The new Porsche 911 Carrera T, type 992.2, will be announced on October 29, 2024.

What's more, not only is it a 6-speed manual, but this time it is also available in both coupe and convertible form, making this the ultimate paradise.

Oh, sorry. I love Carrera T so much that I'm getting all excited about it (lol).

So let's take a look at what was announced:
