Purple Porsche 992 Carrera S

After driving the latest 911 generation with a manual transmission, you can count us as part of that 20 percent. The three-pedal 911 launched about a year after the first of the new 911s hit (the 992 generation), and we finally have our hands on one: the 443-hp 911 Carrera S. The seven-speed stick is a transaxle that Porsche, with the help of trans-supplier ZF, converted from dual-clutch auto to manual in part with a crafty mechanism called MECOSA. That acronym stands for mechanically converted shift actuator, and it makes the dual-clutch hardware work with a conventional shift pattern.

Adding to the overall appearance and performance of this 992 Carrera, the team over at Inozetek fit a set of 20×9.0 | 21×12.5 Brixton Forged PF7 featuring our AEROTECH vented package finished in Firecracker Black with a satin Clear topcoat.
