Actually most performance brands, Porsche, Ferrari, etc. are going exclusively to paddle shift automatics. Its well known the 911 automatic transmission is better than the manual. This GT3, Turbo, and the now Nuremberg record holding 918 all only come with automatics. Also the Ferrari 458 is only available with auto.
FYI I love manual transmissions.
