While most automakers are phasing out manuals, Porsche continues to offer five models with a stick

The base-model 718 and 718 S models are still available with a 6-speed manual transmission

Even in base form, the entry-level Porsche sports car can hit 60 mph in 4.7 seconds, with the manual

The 718 GTS 4.0 features some of the GT4 characteristics, but in a tamer form

Unlike the PDK-only GT4, the GTS 4.0 can be had with a 6-speed manual

With 400 horsepower on tap, 0-60 mph in t he GTS 4.0 takes 4.3 seconds with the manual

The 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera T comes exclusively with a 6-speed manual

The 992.1 Carrera T was available with PDK or a 7-speed manual, which is no longer on offer

Like the 992.2 Carrera, the T-model features turbochargers from the 992.1 GTS, giving it more power

The 992.2 Porsche 911 GT3 is here and despite not having more power, it still features a manual 6-speed

Like before, you can choose between the winged variant or the more subtle GT3 Touring

Unlike these two, the even-more-radical GT3 RS is now a PDK-only car

The most lightweight Porsche 992.1 weighs just 3,042 pounds and comes with a short-ratio 6-speed manual

Based on the GT3, the S/T does away with the big wing, but still features a radical body kit with optimized aerodynamics

The 911 S/T also packs more power than the GT3 models

Porsche recently updated the 992.2 Carrera T and here's how it compares to the outgoing model

Upfront, you get a revised headlight setup and front bumper keeping in line with the 992.2 generation Carrera

The side remains largely the same with new wheel designs and exclusive vanadium accents and the manual only sticker on the 992.2 Carrera T

At the rear, you'll notice a slightly revised bumper and tail-light design, with the .2 model featuring a lot more plastic than before

The 2025 911 Carrera T features a 3.0-liter twin-turbo flat-six like its predecessor, but with a few different components

This engine is capable of pushing out 388 hp and 331 lb-ft of torque

When compared to the older model, the new one cranks 9 more horses. According to Porsche the 992.2 Carrera T can do 0-60 mph in 4.3 seconds, which is exactly the same as before

You can get the 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera T only with a manual gearbox. The shifter has a wooden knob for exclusivity

This six-speed unit utilizes first six gear ratios of the previous 7-speed unit

Additionally, the auto rev-match feature remains untouched

The 992.2 Carrera T is available as a Cabriolet, for the first time

Another major change inside the cabin is the inclusion of a 12.6-inch driver information display, replacing the older analog digital unit

Previously optional rear-axle steering is now offered as standard

The front 13.8-inch brake rotors get six pistons as opposed to four from the outgoing model

The new 911 Carrera T weighs 3,316 pounds

That's 62 pounds more than the model it replaces: the 992.1 911 Carrera T

With the 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera T starting at $134,000, it remains to be an expensive affair

That makes the 992.2 model $14,000 more expensive than the outgoing 992.1 model

We've speculated about the 992.2 Tubro for close to a year based on spyshots

The 992.2 Turbo is still some time away, but it was leaked on Instagram by arimunich_spotting

This graphic was found in Porsche's own configurator on the German site, in the options for the radar-guided cruise control

Expected Changes: Revised tail pipes, diffuser, taillight setup

The 992.1 Turbo / Turbo S gets optional ($3,920) sports exhausts: Oval Mufflers instead of Quad-tailpipes

Active aero vents, and headlights similar to 992.2 Carrera GTS

Here's a side-by-side of the 992.2 Carrera GTS and the 992.1 Turbo

The side-profile should continue to include the customary Turbo in-let

Porsche has confirmed electrification for the 992.2 Turbo

The system features an all-new 3.6-liter flat-six with two electric motors and a 1.9 kWh battery

The battery will come courtesy of Varta AG. Porsche acquired a majority stake in the German company earlier this year

Besides the 992.2 Turbo and the Turbo S, a rumored Touring model is also expected to join the Turbo lineup

Rumors of a manual Turbo are also making a round, but since the T-Hybrid system isn't comparable with expect the stick on a gas-only Turbo model

The last Turbo badged model to feature a manual was the 997 generation

A rapid change in the EV scene means the Porsche 718 will continue to offer boxer engines

The Porsche 718 EV is still coming, but Porsche announced it will be integrating ICE and hybrid technology in its EVs

The market no longer favors EVs as hybrids jump in popularity

Production of the 982-generation will either be prolonged or Porsche will come up with an all-new platform

Like other EV models, the fully-electric 718 will adopt some aesthetics from the Taycan

Porsche 718 saw a 10-percent increase in sales, likely due to Porsche's original plans to replace it with an EV, in 2025

The 983-generation will continue to be offered as, bith, coupe and convertible, regardless of the powertrain type

We expect the T-Hybrid powertrain will be repurposed for use in the smaller 718

Given what they've done with the 992.2, we expect the next-gen 718 to also be available in GT4 guise

Swipe up for more on what we can expect from the Porsche 718 in the future

Porsche’s rich history as a sports car manufacturer provides many opportunities to revive some truly legendary models

Just 1 year after the original 911 was introduced, Porsche decided to offer a more affordable variant

The Porsche 912 was bigger only in its numerical designation. Instead of the 911's flat-6, it came with a 4-cylinder boxer

Originally, the 912 was produced between 1965 and 1969. It was re-introduced in 1976 for the North American market as the 912 E

Chief Porsche Designer, Michael Mauer expressed willingness to make a smaller 911

...meaning the Porsche 912 could make a return as a smaller, EV equivalent of the 911

Porsche 917 was the company's balls-out approach to winning Le Mans in the 1960s and 1970s

A wide variety of Porsche 917 versions were developed between 1969 and 1973, for different racing series

Some variants of the car produced as much as 1,580 hp and weighed just over 1,300 lbs

If Porsche decides to resurrect the 917, the Mission X gives a good idea of how it may look

The 911 GT1 is the peak of Porsche's efforts to dominate Le Mans in the 1990s

The GT1 is the only mid-engine 911 Porsche has ever made

In 2024, Tuthill reimagined the GT1 as an epic resto-mod that can be had with an air-cooled engine and a manual

For homologation purposes, between 21 and 25 GT1 Street variants were produced

A new GT1 made by Porsche would most likely include a powerful flat-6 hybrid powertrain

Porsche 928 was thought to be the replacement for the 911, when the rear-engine car's future was in question

The 928 never replaced the 911, but it gave people a more luxurious, V-8 grand tourer with milder manners

The 928 featured a front mid-engine layout and a transmission in the back for a 50:50 weight distribution

Nowadays, Nardone Automotive makes 928 resto-mods for those looking to experience a V-8-powered Porsche sports car with an FR layout

A new Porsche 928 could utilize the Panamera platform as that one already has a front-engine layout and a V-8

Porsche 930 Turbo is one of the most iconic 911s despite its grim reputation for killing many of its owners

The turbocharged flat-6 was too powerful for the chassis, making the 930 Turbo notoriously difficult to drive

Despite that, people lust after the 930, which is why a limited-production variant like a "930 Edition" should be created

Ideally, Porsche would utilize the supposed 992 GT2 RS and do away with the aggressive aero for such a model

The idea behind a "930 Edition" 911 would be to mimick the original Turbo's killer tendencies in a more restrained manner

Swipe up to learn more about why Porsche should consider bringing these names back from the dead

Available as both a coupe and a cabriolet for the first time, the Carrera T is a manual-only 992.2 that harkens back to 1968

Weight reduction measures include lightweight glass, minimal insulation, and carbon-fiber bucket seats

The 2025 911 T features a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter flat-six engine with 388 horsepower, up from 379 of the base 911 Carrera

The Carrera T boasts a host of performance upgrades, including rear-axle steering, revised anti-roll bars, and Porsche Active Suspension Management

The car's exterior is distinguished by Vanadium Grey Metallic accents, a black stainless steel sports exhaust, and a GTS front spoiler

The interior features black sports seats, a heated GT sports steering wheel, and an open-pore walnut laminated wood gear knob

The 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera T starts at $134,000 for the coupe and $147,300 for the convertible

All-new T-Hybird Powertrain with 3.6-liter flat-six with e-turbo

On the hybridized mill, will the e-motor be the same unit with more power than the 55 hp found in the 992.2 Carrera GTS?

The Turbo S and Turbo Touring, lineup should ditch the old 3.8-liter mill in favor of the all-new (9A3B6) 3.6L hybrid with the e-Turbo

The wingless Turbo S Touring will feature RWD, similar to the 2022 911 Sport Classic, without a manual, since the e-motor integrate into the 8-speed DCT

The $90,995 Macan GTS is one of the most lightweight SUVs on sale, as it doesn't feature electrification

Its V-6 engine is good for 434 horsepower and 405 pound-feet, and allow for a top speed of 169 mph

Time is running out. After 2025, the ICE-powered Macan will be no more

The Porsche 718 is also going electric, but you can still get it with a variety of flat-4 and flat-6 engines

The 718 Cayman S is the fastest sub-$100k mid-engine Porsche you can get. It can do 177 mph

The Touring model retains some old-school touches like the analog twist-style starter instead of the push button start as seen on the 992.2 Carrera

Compared to the bucket seats on the 992.1 GT3

Porsche has taken feedback from current GT3 owners

And have now featured removable headrests to accommodate a racing helmet

On the Touring, the foldable carbon-backs also allow you to access

The optional rear seats, which was not available on the outgoing model

Porsche just took the wraps off the 911 GT3 992.2 for the 2025 model year

For the first time in 25 years, they've also introduced the GT3 Touring model alongside the standard GT3

Both models retain the same naturally-aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six with 510 hp and are available with a the 6-speed manual or 7-speed PDK

Viewed from the side, it may seem that not much has changed from the 992.1 model seen here

The re-contoured front diffuser, the refined shape of the spoiler lip and modified fins on the underbody increase downforce and optimise the airflow

Upfront you get an edgier redesigned front bumper and Matrix LED headlights similar to the 992.2 Carrera

Also available on the 911 GT3 is an optional white accent ring

This eliminates the need for additional lights in the front apron like you got on the 992.1 GT3

In the rear, the diffuser, air inlets, and rear lid have been redesigned. The rear wing of the 911 GT3 has new angled side plates

In contrast, the outgoing model had a rear-end that was a lot busier

But the big change on the GT3 line for 2025 is the availability of the Weissach package for the first time

Previously reserved for the track-focused GT3 RS, the Weissach package focuses on shedding weight, with carbon fiber on the roof, exterior mirror top shell, mirror triangle

You'll even find it on the side plates of the rear wing, mounted on the swan-neck struts from the outgoing model

Additional leather and Race-Tex upholstery enhance the look of the interior. For the first time, the upper side of the dashboard on the 911 GT3 is accordingly covered in anti-glare Racetex.

Unfortunately, the analog tachometer on the 992.1 GT3 is now gone and you not get an all-digital instrument cluster instead

Thankfully, the Touring model retains some old-school touches in form a twister-style starter instead of a push-button start

Owing to customer demand, Porsche is now offering optional rear seats on the GT3 Touring
