      <p>Pure, direct, precise. Short shift movements and an optimum transition from one gear to the next. That’s exactly what you would expect of a Porsche manual gearbox. </p>
      <p>What you might not have expected is a 7-speed manual gearbox that combines a high level of sporty performance with an equally high level of efficiency and offers extra comfort for longer journeys. It’s an exceptional innovation, and not only in the sports car segment. </p>
      <p>The design of this manual gearbox is based in principle on that of Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK). Gears 1 to 6 have a sports ratio and top speed is reached in 6th gear. The additional 7th gear, however, has a long ratio, which reduces torque and helps to reduce fuel consumption. Lower engine revs at fast driving speeds also ensure a high level of comfort on long stretches of road. In addition, a gear indicator in the rev counter reminds you which gear has been selected. The upshift indicator in the instrument cluster helps you actively conserve fuel. </p>
      <p>Thanks to the elevated centre console, the gear lever is within easy reach – ideal for sporty gear changes. </p>
      <p>Whether you select a sporty or comfortable gear, the way you reach your destination is in your own hands.</p>
      <p class="footnote">Fuel consumption* of the 911 models: Urban in l/100 km (mpg): 18.9-11.2 (25.2); Extra urban in l/100 km (mpg): 8.9-6.5 (43.5); Combined in l/100 km (mpg): 12.4-8.2 (34.4); Emissions in g/km: 289-194. </p>
      <p class="footnote">* The latest Porsche models are designed to operate on fuels with an ethanol content of up to 10%. Data determined for standard specification and in the NEDC (New European Driving Cycle) in accordance with the Euro 5 (715/2007/EC and 692/2008/EC) measurement method. The figures do not refer to an individual vehicle nor do they constitute part of the offer. They are intended solely as a means of comparing different types of vehicle. You can obtain further information about individual vehicles from your Porsche Centre.<br /><br />Consumption figures were obtained on the basis of standard equipment. Special equipment may affect consumption and performance.</p>
