What happened
Porsche has announced that the 2027 Carrera S will offer a manual transmission. This decision follows customer demand for a stick-shift option in the model. The automaker has been vocal about its commitment to manual gearboxes, even as the industry shifts towards automatic and electric vehicles.
Lamborghini, however, has taken a different approach. This stance contrasts sharply with Porsche's decision to cater to enthusiasts who prefer manual transmissions. The Porsche 911 Carrera S with the manual transmission package is set to be released in the US for the 2027 model year.
Gear Patrol notes that this move gives manual purists a reason to celebrate, as it reaffirms Porsche's dedication to driver engagement.
