Rides : 2012 Porsche 911 will have a 7-speed manual gearbox

The seventh generation of the Porsche 911 is coming. Changes include new transmissions, longer wheelbase, launch control and and a more

Panameraesque interior. Oh, and an optional hybrid drivetrain.
Anyway, the next generation Porsche 911 will be the first car in the world to feature seven-speed manual transmission.

While the image is photoshopped, the German magazine Autobild says we can expect a fairly traditional layout with the seventh gear added on the top right.

The next-generation Porsche 911 will debut at the Frankfurt motor show in September.
