A recent report indicating that the new Porsche 911 GT3 will trade the manual gearbox for a double-clutch one added a lot of fuel to the fire that burns the inside of automotive enthusiasts when thinking about the disappearance of manual gearbox, an idea that has been floating around for quite some years now.
Well, all that can go straight to recycle bin (trash for you Mac users), since Porsche CEO Matthias Muller not only denied this, but also confirmed to Motor Trend that the German carmaker will continue to offer manual transmissions as long as there’s a customer demand for it.

We have to say that this, in a way, predictable, since Porsche has just spent a lot of money and time to develop a new sevens-speed manual...

Since we're talking about manual transmissions, we'll have to remind you that the upcoming C7 generation of the Corvette will come with a seven-speed one.
