SoulDrives heads deep into Germany’s Black Forest to sample a TechArt–tuned Porsche 911 Carrera T, and it’s a reminder of why less weight, a manual gearbox, and sound still matter. Based on Porsche’s most driver-focused 992, the TechArt T Sport R lifts output to 505 hp with a strong torque bump, adds a freer-flowing exhaust, and pairs it all with a finely judged suspension setup.
On cold, challenging roads, the car’s grip and balance inspire confidence. Throttle response is linear, power builds high in the rev range, and braking feel is reassuring on downhill sections. The chassis feels GT3-adjacent in precision, yet remains more compliant for real roads. A short, satisfying manual shift—topped by a distinctive wooden knob—keeps the experience tactile and engaging.
The verdict? Below GT3 money, this TechArt-enhanced Carrera T delivers one of the most rewarding modern 992 driving experiences. On the Black Forest’s flowing tarmac, it’s pure, focused, and thrilling—proof that 500 hp is the sweet spot when everything else is dialed in.
