Porsche recently announced the 911 Carrera T is back. The TL;DR is that it's sort of like GT3 Touring of the "normal" 911 lineup.
A six-speed manual (with a rad-as-heck wooden shift knob) is your only option, and the Carrera T lacks the hybrid powertrain found elsewhere in the lineup.
At any rate, here's how I'd spec mine if I had the scratch: https://porsche-code.com/PSQ6DKX6 (I wanted to delete the decals on the side, but the website wouldn't let me.)
Side decals on Porsches are a no-no. Just my opinion. Do you really need to tell the unknowing that it is a Porsche?

Pretty much like yours but Guards red over black, remove the 22 gal gas tank, add the fancy stereo, make the interior black /w red accents, and put the porsche crests on the seats (I couldn't find this option but i imagine its available)
Can you spec it without the cayenne interior? Because if not I'm not interested.
Anyone not picking carbon bucket seats is wrong.

I agree.
Passed a Class A pulling a fancy aluminum open trailer this afternoon with a GT3 RS on it. Know how I know, with such confidence, that it was a GT3 RS? Huge vinyl decals down the side told me.
Feels cheesy on a car that pricey and nice.
I spec'd mine out as a 2023 Audi RS6 Avant for my wife.
Honest answer for what this costs I would spend the extra and get a ST. ~187K OTD properly optioned for a T vs ~310K for a ST though.
I would prefer bronze wheels and black calipers. I am no longer willing to play Porsche game in and way though and would get a certified 488 long b3fore I spent the money on this or a Hurrican.
This is very close to how my 996 exclusive was ordered with the aero kit and the fancy seats.

The carbon buckets succcckkkkk
I'll keep my paid for 991.1. But, if I had to buy a new one it would be a GT3 Touring.
In reply to Stampie :
A perfectly acceptable answer.
Weird, mine came out at $305,000
In reply to dps214 :
There are definately plenty of alternatives when it comes to the interior, but then the price really goes through the roof.
I'd probably consider the carbon buckets if I was going a GT3/track car direction, but I figure in the perfect world I buy this 911 in, it would serve more as a fun daily/weekend canyon carver, so I'd rather have more "normal" seats.
What kind of yearly income do I need to make in order to realistically afford a $200k 911? Tell me so I can have a goal lol
This is just a car that would never happen for me. Its far too expensive for what it is to me. If I won the lotto I'd be after a gt3. I'm a little annoyed the only way to get harness compatible seats is the carbon buckets.
Anyhow if I were spending someone else's money....

180k with PTS.
No way I'd pay that for a turbo'd base car. I'd keep my current GT3 or get a different one in that price range.
A good friend of mine recently took delivery of the 911T he ordered months ago. Guards red with manual trans. I got a brief ride in it, although it didn't have break in miles logged yet. I thought it was crazy how reminiscent the sound was of the air cooled 911 I owned years ago.
He told me about how massively configurable it was when ordering. He was considering upgrading the front and rear bumpers - he liked the GTS front bumper but the Turbo rear bumper (something like that), and you could actually order it that way.
Ultimately, the dealer told him that it wasn't typical to load up the 911T's with options since it was supposed to be a more "pure" driver spec, and when he went to sell, he'd be competing price wise with the higher spec models. So, in the end he chose just a few options.
Fantastic car.

5% of your net worth nothing more. So 3.65 million or so invested in the market or in real estate equity. Preferably closer to 3% which is what I use as my number.
fyi that is for all the cars in the fleet, so you get just this at that value.

Depends on how you want to live the rest of your life. Assuming a five year loan at a reasonable interest rate (and no trade/down payment) the payment comes out to about $50k per year. (caveat: I have no idea what income level you'd need to be approved for a $200k car loan, that's outside of my scope of knowledge) So if you live the rest of your life frugally and don't care about, like, having any savings or that sort of frivolous thing, you could probably do it on as little as the low-mid $100k range. $250-300k would be much more comfortable, but on the other hand at anywhere in the six digit income range you'd presumably have some amount of savings to tap into for a down payment. So it's hard to nail down a solid number as a go/no go point.
Once I realize how much it would cost to do so, I go over to Barnstormers and start looking at airplanes instead.
Keeping a 911 at strictly a base model comes to a few dollars over $134k. Maybe someday, but not today.

With that math, I can't afford anything more than $9k 
I quit.
