Porsche’s most divisive 911 powertrain could soon receive a long-awaited addition that its critics have long demanded. The high-revving, naturally aspirated flat-six engine, known for its raw character but also its lack of modern conveniences, may finally get an automatic transmission option. This move would address a key complaint among drivers who prefer smoother gear changes without sacrificing the engine’s signature sound. The decision, if confirmed, would mark a significant shift for a brand that has historically prioritized manual transmissions in its performance lineup.
