Porsche Says No To Gimmicks: The German Automaker Isn't Interested In A Simulated Manual For Its EVs
While the prospects of a fake manual transmission making it to a future all-electric Porsche look bleak, there may still be some hope left for the stick?
With the all-electric Porsche 718 on the way, the question rises: How will Porsche make EVs more engaging?
Porsche will not be developing a "manual" for EVs, like Toyota and Hyundai
The "manual" transmission in Toyota and Hyundai EVs works by reducing torque on purpose
But simulating the properties of an ICE-powered vehicle sacrifices performance
Porsche's way of making EVs relatively engaging is by not offering one-pedal driving capabilities
That said, Porsche still offers regenerative braking. It just works a bit differently
