Porsche Brings Back a Six‑Speed Manual to the 2027 911 Carrera S

The company is offering a North America‑only MT Package that preserves an analog driving choice while adding equipment and a price premium.

Overview

  • Porsche has announced the 2027 911 Carrera S with an MT Package that fits a six‑speed manual transmission taken from the Carrera T.
  • The MT Package makes rear‑axle steering, the Sport Chrono package, a retuned exhaust with titanium tips, center‑lock wheels, and PASM sport suspension standard.
  • The manual version is rear‑wheel drive only, carries an explicit surcharge that raises the coupe’s starting price to $167,100 and the cabriolet to $181,000, and will be sold only in North America with deliveries planned for year‑end.
  • The 992.2 Carrera S keeps its twin‑turbo 3.0L flat‑six rated at 473 hp and 390 lb‑ft, and the manual coupe weighs about 3,327 pounds with center‑lock wheels that cut 17 pounds of unsprung mass.
  • With the GTS now an automatic‑only hybrid, Porsche positions the manual Carrera S as the analog performance choice for North American enthusiasts and also creates a clearer, higher‑margin product tier.
