Overview

• Porsche says three-pedal options will continue in the 911 lineup, guided by market take rates and supplier viability.
• Manual orders in Europe sit around 2–3% for Carrera models, while the previous U.S. 911 GTS saw about 50% choose a manual, according to 911 line director Michael Rösler.
• Current manual choices are limited to the 911 Carrera T and GT3, including GT3 Touring, as the updated 992.2 hybrids are not compatible with a manual gearbox.
• Rösler cited supplier minimum-volume requirements as a constraint and identified the U.S. and Britain as key markets sustaining manual production.
• Porsche is exploring ways to satisfy niche requests, with interest in manual convertibles noted in California and a GT3 Touring cabriolet test car spotted, though any expansion remains unconfirmed.
