\u201cWhile some brands are abandoning the manual, we are proud to continue offering three pedals in a range of products that speaks to different use cases,\u201d said Timo Resch, president and CEO of Porsche Cars North America. \u201cManaging a clutch and shift lever isn\u2019t for everyone, but for the drivers who want it there really is no substitute.\u201d<\/p>\n
In essence, the new Porsche 911 Carrera S with MT package, as it\u2019s formally named, takes the recipe perfected on the 388-hp Carrera T and applies it to the more powerful model. The walnut-crowned six-speed stick connects the 473-hp 3.0-liter twin-turbo flat-six exclusively to the rear wheels (sorry, C4S fans), which will likely make this the slowest-accelerating 992.2-gen Carrera S but also the one in which owners will care the least about pipping Hellcats off the light. The new car\u2019s curb weight of 3327 pounds puts it just 11 pounds over the Carrera T<\/a>, but if you want to cut down that delta, the S MT lets you spec ceramic composite brakes\u2014an option not available on its more affordable relation.<\/p>\n On top of the third pedal and wood-capped shifter atop the old-fashioned gearbox, the MT Package brings along a nice list of standard kit above those regular Carrera S models. Center-lock wheels (available for the first time on a Carrera S), titanium exhaust pipes, and a SportDesign front fascia help distinguish it outside, while 4-way Sport Seats Plus come with the interior. Under the skin, the manual car comes inclusive with PASM Sport suspension, rear-wheel steering, and the Sport Chrono pack. Porsche\u2019s CVS receipt-length options list also remains at buyers\u2019 beck and call, should they seek further changes.<\/p>\n There\u2019s also a little Easter egg to be found on the car\u2019s tail: a scarlet \u201cS.\u201d Rather than suggest the MT Package hails from Krypton or committed sin in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, however, this red letter pays homage to the similar units that North American owners have been modding out their Carrera S and Carrera 4S<\/a> cars with for years.<\/p>\n Porsche<\/p>\n This being Porsche, of course, your dreams don\u2019t come true cheap. While a PDK-equipped 911 Carrera S<\/a> starts at $158,550, le manuel kicks off at $169,450 for the coupe and $183,350 for the cabriolet. That said, matching the parts of the MT Package\u2019s standard equipment other than the stick would actually push the price of a dual-clutch C2S above those figures, so you could almost claim it\u2019s actually a bargain. Deliveries should start by the end of this year, which gives you a few months to work on that argument before presenting it to your accountant.<\/p>\n![\"Rear](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/b705bfa5-1c82-4f64-a86d-d21e47e1a2d8.jpg\" "\\"Rear")
