Anyone ever hear of a manual panamera?

Can it be done?

 

As they say...anything can be done, but why would one want to swap out the PDK for a manual transmission in a luxury sedan?

 

Manual transmission was available for Europe and only for the first couple of years.

 

Remember - the PDK transmission is faster compared to manual transmission.

 

See this blog.

 

Because it's not a real driving experience without having 3 pedals and manual gears for me.

The turbo is a beast but unfortunately, I'm already bored with it. I need to row some gears especially on a car that is faster than most sport coupes.

Might have to look into a M5 I guess. Too bad because I love my panny.

 

I am not sure I understand you here. If I want to go manual I just switch the PDK transmission to manual and use the paddle shift.

 

Thats not a manual. People want more engaging shifting. a true 3rd pedal and shifting.. triptonic doesn't count as anything manual.. because what happens if you forget to up or down shift?? the car still does it for you.. different strokes for different folks
