Guys, I was wondering out of curiousity more than anything else, are Porsches available in India with manual transmissions or not? In particular I am referring to the 911 range.

Yup, they are sold as abroad, meaning all versions & all options are available since cars are usually brought in against a confirmed order so they can be fully customised.

P.S. They even offer the GT3 RS, though I can't understand where one can drive that in India!

if you have the money to call for a GT3 RS you definately dont bother about the roads(the guy would hardly drive it anyways). its more of a style statement and to be a cut above the rest.

Thanks for the comments, my dad wants to buy a new car - he is considering a Mercedes SL or a Porsche. But he only likes the Cayman. He has been in my Porsches over the years and although he likes the 997 he prefers the Cayman. I am trying to convince him to get the 987S - if its in manual - I will be more than happy to fly to India when he gets it! If its a auto - he can do order and delivery etc himself

all your father need to do is tell the dealer his preference of transmission and they shall get it down for him. all cars are imported and you can even design the car with your options, note down the option numbers and it would be on your car. but there again the car is gonna be driven by your father so i think you should leave the choice upto him. whats the point if he does not enjoy his ride.

talking of goa... we decided to add to the goa 'exotic' scene. if you guys see a range rover (silver) or a cls 320 cdi (also silver), they belong to us.

Spotted this uncovered Cayman or 911, not very sure...there were 2 S-classes also near this & all these were kept out of the house..inside the compound were a E-class, 2 new camrys & an accord...I guess it was some political leader's house...

hanmust it looks like a 911. seeing the fender height and size. even if you see the rear slope gives it a 911 feel. next time you cross the place check if sleeping beuty has woken up
