The lineup currently available in Germany is 55(The current Cayenne is no longer available in Japan).In addition to the 11 models with MT available in Japan, 9 more models are available in Germany. In total, a total of 20 models are available with manual transmission. The table below summarizes the results.

There are so many 911s to choose from. Unlike in Japan, you can choose a manual transmission for the open-roof cabriolet, Targa, and GTS series.And even the 911T has a manual option.By the way, my husband once told me about the 911T MT not coming into Japan.That's impossible! What's the point of having a "T" if you do that!"He was frustrated (and bombarded) with the

Valuable MT car

As for MT cars that don't come into Japan, you can get them through parallel imports.Porsche dealers these days won't even accept parallel imports for inspection or repair, so it's better to buy them officially.said a maintenance shop owner we spoke to the other day.(The dealership where we live will also look at parallel imports, but it depends on the policy of the dealership.)

When I think about it, those who are currently driving MT Porsches such as the 911 Targa, Cabriolet, and Turbo are driving very valuable cars. And they don't come into Japan anymore. I looked at used car websites to test them out, and they still have a pretty good price.(I mean, used air-cooled Porsches are so expensive!)

And since the world is shifting more and more in the direction of automatic driving, MT will probably become more and more valuable in the future.Porsche Japan Official SiteGo to "Car Configurator". By the way, once you start playing the car configurator, be careful, because your imagination will expand so much that an hour or so will pass in no time (laugh).
