The verdict

What's good

T spec adds shorter gear lever and lighter doors for a more connected driving feel
Twin-turbo flat-six sounds and revs distinctly better than most turbocharged rivals
RWD chassis balance is approachable on a track day without requiring expert skill
Porsche dealer network and parts availability are among the best in the sports car class

What's not

Rear seats are functionally useless for any adult taller than five feet
Front luggage compartment is very small — barely fits a weekend bag
Sport Chrono package, which most buyers want, adds to an already long options list
Fuel tank is relatively small, limiting range between stops on a driving holiday

The engine

3.0L Twin-Turbo Flat-6

Twin-Turbo Flat-6

Porsche's rear-mounted 3.0-liter twin-turbo flat-six is the beating heart of the 911 — smooth, hard-revving, and unmistakable in voice, hung behind the rear axle as it has been for six decades.

The horizontally-opposed boxer six has defined the 911 since 1963; this 992-generation 3.0 turbo traces a direct mechanical lineage through every air- and water-cooled 911 before it.

The flat-six sits behind the rear wheels — a layout that 'shouldn't work' yet has defined the 911's character for 60 years.
'Boxer' comes from the pistons punching outward in opposed pairs, like trading jabs.
