Porsche may have encapsulated the purest form of the 911 with the reveal of the Carrera T. To create the Carrera T, Porsche took a base Carrera and stripped out excess weight to create a sort of "GT3 light." The result is a 911 that may be the purest driver's car in the entire lineup but comes with one massive flaw. Since it is based on a base Carrera, the Carrera T is powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbo flat-six producing 370 horsepower. For just $3,000 more, a Carrera S offers 420 hp with just 33 pounds of added weight.

We drove the Carrera T and came away thinking that it could be improved with a bit more power. Fortunately, tuners like Techart are on hand to fix any power discrepancies that may arise with a new car. Techart recently released a special tune for the 991.2 911 Turbo S, and will now turn its sights to the Carrera T. Customers who buy the Techart Performance Package for the Carrera T will see power gains from 370 to 430 hp, which is 10 more than a Carrera S.

Techart has achieved this bump in power with just two components. The first has been kept a secret, but the second key to the power increase is a flap-controlled "racing" exhaust. This new exhaust features quad titanium tailpipes with carbon fiber sheathing and a sound that is bound to impress. Now buyers can opt for the purist Carrera T without sacrificing on power. The same Techart Performance Package is also available on Carrera S and GTS models, where it ups power from 420 and 450 hp to 480 and 510 hp respectively. The cost of all of these juicy power gains is approximately $9,200.
