Porsche will follow Hyundai's lead and add a "virtual transmission" to its EVs in the name of driver engagement.

      You don’t buy a manual car because it’s faster.

      You buy it because it’s more fun.

        But in a manual car you’re the reason why it’s slower.

        In an EV (or CVT) dumb programming is why it’s slower.

          It’s still more fun with the shift points.

          Spinning is so much cooler than not spinning.

        Manuals can still be faster if you know you’re about to put your foot down, and you’re in the cheaper end of the market.

          As someone that dailys a manual and has previously daily’ed a Dual Clutch “EcoShift” Veloster, manual is not faster even if you prep your downshift ahead of time.
