The 2026 Porsche 911 Carrera T is God's Sports Car
It's really hard to argue with a Porsche 911. Even though the new, manual only, base-engined Carrera T now costs what a 911 GT3 used to cost, the increase in price comes with old 911 GT3 performance. Then Porsche has this special talent—charging more for less equipment. Because the Carrera T gets less engine, an old-fashioned manual, and some lightweight parts, it can cost as much as a 911 with 100 more horsepower. But that would be missing the point of the Carrera T. I had just eight hours with the new 992.2 Carrera T, most I dedicated to filming our latest YouTube video. But the spec sheet boded well: 388 horsepower from a refreshed 3.0-liter twin-turbo flat-six, complete with 992.1 Carrera GTS turbos. Brakes from the 992.1 Carrera S. Suspension from the 992.1 GTS. But the most delicious line item was a holy grail: Six-speed manual transmission with 911 GT3 shifter linkage, it said. It wasn't the six-speed, rather the maligned seven-speed manual with a gear removed. The seven-speed always caught flak that I never quite understood, with critics complaining of sloppy shifts and easy-to-miss gates. It's not something I ever experienced, but I will concede that the seven-speed was always less satisfying than the six-speed in the 997 and 987 Cayman. Yet they are all cable shifted, meaning that the gearbox experience is largely defined by the shifter box and cables. As it turns out, simply removing a gear and using the GT3's entire shifter mechanism is magic dust. Let me explain it to you in our latest video above.

2026 Porsche 911 Carrera Now Costs More Than a Loaded Corvette Z06
Porsche released pricing for the 2026 , with the cost of the entry Carrera model rising by nearly $8000. The new model year Carrera starts at $129,950, but at least the increased fare now includes a leather package that previously cost $2840. With the White House announcing earlier this week, it's unclear if the 911's price is done climbing. Until the C8-generation Chevy Corvette ZR1 shows up later this year and takes the crown, the title of the "ultimate Corvette" belongs to the Z06. It's got a 5.5-liter flat-plane-crank V-8 that makes 670 horsepower, it launches from zero to 60 mph in 2.6 seconds, and you can go pick up a loaded 3LZ coupe model right now for $127,345. Or, for $129,950, you can go buy the 2026 Porsche 911 Carrera. Porsche's online configurator has been updated to include pricing for the 2026 911 lineup, and the base Carrera's price has jumped by $7855 compared with 2025. Minus the most recently revealed 992.2 models, which only increased slightly, pricing for the rest of the 911 saw similarly large increases. Starting prices for each model in lineup are now as follows: Carrera cabriolet, $143,150 Carrera T coupe, $140,950 Carrera T cabriolet, $154,150 Carrera S coupe, $148,650 Carrera S cabriolet, $161,850 Carrera GTS coupe, $172,050 Carrera 4 GTS coupe, $179,850 Carrera GTS cabriolet,$185,250 Carrera 4 GTS cabriolet, $193,050 Targa 4 GTS, $193,050 GT3/GT3 Touring, $224,750 If you're expecting major changes for all that extra cash, you'll be sorely disappointed. Porsche announced earlier this week that 2026 911 models are getting an updated infotainment system that adds support for a range of third-party apps. There were also a number of changes to the leather options for the Carrera, and Porsche now preps the roof for roof racks out of the box. There are also several new Paint to Sample colors, as well as new color and decal combinations for the Carrera T and GT3. There's also a chance that the new tariffs on all imported cars will result in Porsche's raising the cost of the 911 again. Car and Driver reached out to Porsche to ask if these price increases are related to the tariffs or just a result of the model year change. We also asked if customers with orders in right now will be price-protected or if they'll have to pay a higher amount once the tariffs go into effect. We will update this story when we hear back.

Porsche Raises Delivery Fees and Prices on Most 911 Models
With tariffs on the way, it'll hardly shock anyone to hear that a global automaker like Porsche is raising prices right as its 2026 models become available to order. The end result is a 911 that costs several thousand dollars more than it did last year. View the 2 images of this gallery on the original article The 911 that saw the biggest price increase from last year is also, perhaps not coincidentally, where customers are likely to feel it the most: the base 2026 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe. That car started at $122,095 last year, but today it'll set you back $129,950, a price hike of nearly $8,000. No less offensive is the addition of nearly the same $8,000 to the 2026 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet. Ordering today will cost $143,150 as opposed to the $135,395 Porsche charged for a 2025 model year car. While perhaps less egregious, we doubt anyone will be happy to know that Carrera T and all GTS models see a smaller increase—around $5,000—and Carrera S and GT3/GT3 Touring prices reflect changes of less than $1,000. Even outside the immediate 911 family, though, customers will be paying more for their Porsche Panamera, Taycan, gas Macan, and Cayenne models than last year. Prices escalate across the brand, largely due to the increased delivery fee. Porsche's "Delivery, Processing, and Handling Fee" increases to $2,250 for the 2026 model year vehicles compared to last year's $1,995. Porsche doesn't necessarily charge you for nothing. While changes are minimal, there are some concessions that might help buyers bridge the lengthy price gap. The standard 911 Carrera gets the Leather Package as standard, which was formerly a $2,840 option. New Paint to Sample color and decal options offer more customizability, too. Finally, there are minor updates to the 992.2 just a year after the model's comprehensive refresh, including a newly improved infotainment system with Amazon Alexa integration, extended third-party app support, and Dolby Atmos capability for the Bose and Burmester premium sound systems is included, too. While we're not sure we would've independently noticed those somewhat minute additions, it's good to see your money going somewhere. Another year, another price increase. Sadly, it's the way of the world these days, and Porsche isn't immune. More concerning is how this affects people with orders in the pipeline—especially as the storm clouds of 25 percent tariffs loom in the not-so-distant future. When the 992 generation 911 debuted as a 2020 model year car, it was priced at $98,750. It's not often you see an MSRP spread of over 30 percent across one generation, and it's an odd crown to wear, but we suspect the 992 911 has a serious claim to the throne.

Rezvani Retro RR1 Is a Porsche 911 in an Old-School Cloak
Rezvani, a small automaker specializing in rebodied modern cars, has revealed its latest creation, the Retro RR1. Based on a , the RR1 comes with either 600 or 750 horsepower and is offered with both manual and automatic transmissions. Only 50 will be made, and the conversion will cost a whopping $195,000. Rezvani, a small boutique automaker based in Irvine, California, has made several intriguing, rebodied cars since its founding in 2013. The sleek Beast utilized the chassis from an Ariel Atom and Cosworth four-cylinder engines before switching to C8 Corvette underpinnings in 2024. The Tank, meanwhile, is a brutish V-8-powered adaption of the Jeep Wrangler, while the Vengeance is an armored take on the Cadillac Escalade. The company's latest vehicle, the Rezvani Retro RR1, looks to the past for inspiration, emulating the Porsche 935 race car while using modern Porsche 911 bones. The latest 992-generation of the iconic 911 sports car forms the base for the Rezvani Retro RR1, which features curvaceous bodywork with old-school charm. The headlights are circular and upright like on classic 911s, while the rear features an integrated wing and bodywork that wraps around a simple light bar. Rezvani also carved substantial vents into the front and rear fenders and completely reworked the front and rear bumpers. The body is formed from carbon fiber, aside from the doors. Rezvani is offering the RR1 in two variants. As the name suggests, the RR1 600 features a turbocharged 3.0-liter flat-six engine pushing 600 horsepower to the rear wheels, allowing the car to blast from zero to 60 mph in a claimed 3.0 seconds. While Rezvani recommends starting the modifications with a Carrera T, the company says any 992 Carrera model can be converted into an RR1. That means a variety of transmissions are available, from six- and seven-speed manuals to an eight-speed automatic. The RR1 750, meanwhile, is formed from the 911 Turbo S. Predictably, the turbocharged 3.8-liter flat-six sends 750 horsepower to all four wheels, dropping the claimed zero-to-60-mph time to just 2.0 seconds. This model is also said to get a "more aggressive, throaty exhaust note," and only comes with the quick-shifting eight-speed PDK automatic. Rezvani will offer suspension setups tuned for either street or track driving. Optional Brembo six-piston brakes will cost $12,500, and Rezvani is also selling a centerlock wheel conversion for the same price. Other options include a $550 bespoke shift knob, carbon-fiber turbofan wheel covers for $4500, and a steel roll cage for $5500. Rezvani only released one photo of the cabin—which showed off the wooden shift knob in the 2025 Carrera T—so the rest of the interior is presumably unchanged from a standard Porsche. That's not a bad thing, of course. Rezvani will also sell you bespoke seat inserts ($3750) and a custom steering wheel with optional integrated shift lights ($4500). Just 50 examples of the RR1 will be available, and Rezvani says the first customer cars are already being built, with deliveries set to kick off this summer. Strangely, Rezvani says the first five cars will be sold for $195,000, but the price will increase for the remaining vehicles—and that likely doesn't include the price of the donor car. The RR1 will be the first in a line of tributes to iconic car designs from Rezvani Retro, a new branch of the boutique automaker.
