There’s no option to row-your-own with a 911, for now. Here's if, and when, that might change.
. An amazing sentiment considering I’m on a first name basis with 90 percent of the people who have actually driven them, but why let reality get in the way of a good cyber-bloodletting? As far as the complaints go I’ve seen these: the, the movable grilles, the removal of an analog tachometer in favor of a big digital screen, the removal of the twisty $0.14 plastic key-like thingy in favor of a $0.
Porsche didn’t give a technical reason as to why it couldn’t build a hybrid manual, but a glance at a cutaway image of the transmission reveals that there’s nowhere inside the 911’s seven-speed manual bellhousing for an e-motor to go. It’s much more tightly packed than the eight-speed PDK. I will caveat this by saying, GT Division boss Andy Preuninger told me to my face that the
a 911R-style lightweight flywheel was “impossible” on the 991.2 GT3 and beyond because of the solid valve lifters . Then Porsche went ahead and built the 911 S/T, which you guessed it, has the latest version of said 4.0-liter flat-six with solid liftersa lightened flywheel. Grains of salt all around, but a manual hybrid 911 seems as close to impossible as anything.? Again, technically Porsche could, though for right now it’s choosing not to. Starting with the 992.1, Porsche axed the 7-speed option on the plain old Carrera. Just the Carrera S and Carrera GTS could be optioned with a manual.
To summarize, there’s no manual transmission available on the 992.2 911 Carrera or o the 911 Carrera GTS. The upcoming 992.2 Carrera T will almost certainly launch with an optional seven-speed manual transmission. There’s a chance Porsche could offer a T-Hybrid PDK Carrera S alongside a manual 3.0-liter twin-turbo model . What’s actually going to happen? Watch this space, though if you want to go and place a bet on a manual 911 Carrera T happening your money is safe.
