Porsche heads back to basics with new 911 Carrera Touring

The iconic Porsche 911 has gone in two directions as years have passed. While standard models have become ever more luxurious, comfortable, and – yes – heavy, versions like the GT3 RS are some of the most extreme driver's cars on the road, with more power than most drivers will ever manage to utilise.

Now though, 911 aficionados will have a new option in the range. It's called the 911 Carrera T (for Touring) and aims to offer a car closer to the 911's original ethos – lightweight, puritanical and reasonably priced.
