What's this? Not another Porsche 911 variant? Afraid so, says Jack Rix in Top Gear. But pay attention because you'll be interested in this one. It is the Carrera T the T referencing the Monte-Carlo-rally-winning 911T from 1968 and it is a more driver-focused, stripped-back version of the standard model. Driving pleasure isn't necessarily linked to lap times, says Rix; it's more about how you interact and connect with the car, and the T is designed with that in mind. So it may not be quite as fast as some of the other 911s you could choose from, but it is "plenty fast enough", with the "perfect amount of power" for public roads. Driving the T is a "joyous" experience: the exhaust burps and cracks away behind you, the steering is precise and the brakes nicely progressive. "It's not a better 911, but it's all the 911 you'll need."
