RE: Porsche 911 Carrera T: Driven
Discussion
Porsche are certainly losing their way - and probably customers - unless you are one of the chosen Ubermensch who are invited to buy and cash in on the halo models that us mere mortals are precluded from.
No, we are expected to get wet over these smoke-and-mirrors pathetic badge marketing scraps tossed to the masses.
The styling of Porsche's cars has become cluttered, fussy and frankly vulgar. What happened to the Bauhaus simplicity?
The engines. No need to say any more about those than has already been.

Whilst i appreciate that this is free content, and I am very grateful for it, I found this article very difficult to read. Only compelled to make a point in the comments because I was so looking forward to reading this review.
I enjoyed reading it. Granted there are lots of references to other Porsche models but that's probably inevitable in a Pistonhead article.

I don't even begin to understand this car. A downtuned turbo engine in a heavy car with the back seats taken out (for no obvious reason).
Same weight as my old 997.2 C2S and quicker (just a tad mind) I'd love one if I was looking for a new car I'd have one manual + buckets and LED lights. Seats are a no cost option so no need to be upset/puzzled about them not being there same with the PCM.
Confusing article. I would ask the writer to be clearer.
As for the car itself, I've just lost all interest. Seems like another week another model. I dont know if this is a cynical attempt by Porsche to move more metal by churning out yet another minor variant.
Whatever.
As someone else wrote, if I were after a 2 seater, Lotus would be high on the list. If I wanted a 4 seater around this space, the Nissan GTR would be it. I see no point in Porsche at this level.
