Overview
- Porsche announced on Thursday, August 13, 2026 that the 2027 911 Carrera S will be offered with an MT Package that restores a six‑speed manual transmission to the S.
- The MT Package uses the six‑speed from the Carrera T and makes rear‑axle steering, PASM Sport suspension, the Sport Chrono package, titanium exhaust tips, and center‑lock wheels standard equipment.
- The manual Carrera S keeps the 992.2 3.0‑liter twin‑turbo flat‑six tuned to about 473 horsepower and 391 lb‑ft of torque, sends power only to the rear wheels, and weighs roughly 3,327 pounds curb.
- Orders are open now for coupe and cabriolet trims, pricing reported around $167,100–$169,450 for the coupe and $181,000–$183,350 for the cabriolet, and Porsche says deliveries will begin before the end of 2026.
- Porsche frames the move as a response to strong North American demand and a way to preserve driver‑focused models, while keeping PDK automatics as the primary worldwide configuration for regulatory and production efficiency.
