«Mechanics» forever

Porsche, unlike Ferrari and Lamborghini, remains faithful to the classic manual transmission.

«I think we will fight for gear boxes for as long as we can — said the publication Car & Driver chief engineer of the Porsche 911 Turbo Erhard Mossley. — Even if they are chosen only 10% of the buyers, it is important for them, for us and for certain markets».

Despite this pathetic statement executives Porsche already mentally abandoned the «mechanics» in the flagship sports car.

However, manual transmission as an option and will remain in the most extreme and high-speed versions, not to mention the Cayman and Boxster.

At present, all over the world and 15% of all the Porsche 911 was sold to the «mechanics», which is convinced Porsche engineers, gives the driver a more vivid «feeling of the car.»
