A wild new rumor alleges that McLaren will launch its first manual car in nearly 30 years.
The manual gearbox is enjoying a resurgence at the very top of the automotive hierarchy. Ferrari brought it back for the new 12Cilindri Manuale, and while not a true manual, Maranello’s V12 supercar does feature a gated shifter and even a clutch pedal. Hennessey is putting an honest-to-God manual in the Venom F5-M, while Porsche’s 911 GT3 S/C is a manual-only affair. If a new report is to be believed, McLaren is about to launch its own three-pedal performance car.
