They do make a manual V6 but not a V8. But the ZF 8 speed box with flappy paddles is a great compromise. For town traffic you can use full auto whilst for the open road you have a clutchless manual with lightning fast changes.


You're right they do. However it seems that it's pretty rare! Over 300 cars on Autotrader; only 11 with a manual! Wow!

I think with a GT-style car most people will go auto. Especially for daily use as well.

As you say, that ZF box is pretty good.
