Porsche is listening to the enthusiasts.
The German sports car maker just announced that it is bringing back the manual 911 Carrera S. The marque cited one major reason for its decision to bring the model back: “overwhelming customer demand.”
The Carrera S, which has long been viewed as the sweet spot between the entry-level 911 and its more hardcore high-performance variants like the GT3 and Turbo S, can once again be optioned with a stick shift. Yes, the automaker’s famed dual-clutch PDK remains the way to go if pure speed is what a driver craves, but those who feel that rowing through the gears adds to the experience can now choose to upgrade the model with the MT package. The premium add-on will be available on both the coupe and cabriolet versions of the two-door starting in 2027.
