Porsche Sticking with Manual Transmissions to the Bitter End
Thankfully, Porsche doesn’t intend on phasing out a manual transmission option for its 911 lineup anytime soon. Speaking to Car and Driver, the Porsche engineering boss for the 911 Turbo, Carrera 4 and Targa promised that a manual transmission will be used in the 911 for the foreseeable future.
“It’s a unique selling proposition for Porsche to have a manual in the 911 range, and I think we will fight for that as long as possible,” said Erhard Mössle. “Even if it’s only 10 percent of the market, it’s important for some customers and for some markets, especially the U.S., to have that kind of gearbox.”
