2018 Porsche 911 Carrera T

The 991.2-generation Carrera T was Porsche's distillation of the 911 back to its essentials — lighter, more communicative, and deliberately stripped of anything that didn't serve the driver. Introduced in 2018, the T sits below the Carrera S in outright power but compensates with a shorter gear-lever throw, rear-wheel steering removed for sharper turn-in, and a tuning philosophy aimed squarely at engagement over ease. This example pairs that philosophy with the six-speed manual — the correct gearbox for this car — and presents itself in white at 24,585 miles from new, a sensible but not precious distance for a seven-year-old sports car.

The options list is well-judged rather than specced for showroom appeal. The Sports Exhaust System is the most important tick — it transforms the 3.0-litre twin-turbo flat-six's character substantially — and the 20-inch Carrera S alloys, PDLS Bi-Xenon headlights, and Chrono Package prep round out the exterior and driver-focused choices. BOSE audio and front/rear Park Assist add real-world usability, while the Light Design Package and heated steering wheel take care of the interior without over-softening the T's ethos.

At 365 bhp and 450 lb-ft, the engine drives through the rear wheels to a 182 mph top speed. The manual Carrera T has become increasingly sought-after as the market recognises what it represented: one of the last naturally communicative 911s before the model's electronics grew ever more comprehensive. At £72,990, this is competitive for a clean, UK-spec T with a strong options list.
