- Porsche expects demand for manual 911s to remain strong well into the 2030s.
- Its engineers can't combine the 911's hybrid powertrain with a third pedal yet, but it hasn't ruled out the possibility.
- With Porsche committed to keeping the manual alive for the long haul, the next-generation 911 could still offer a stick.
The manual transmission may be an endangered species, but Porsche isn't ready to pull the plug just yet. In fact, the German automaker plans to keep offering three-pedal cars for as long as regulations and customer demand allow. The company has already taken steps to keep the manual alive. For 2027, the Carrera S gets a six-speed manual transmission option after initially being offered exclusively with the PDK.
