I've seen some anecdotal counts by owners on here and Rennlist which indicate ~ 27 of the GTS accounted for have been manual transmission. I love driving my car, but seeing how trends are moving towards turbo's across the model range and a "limited edition" mentality behind a true manual I'd like to start considering the potential of the manual GTS becoming an appreciating asset some day.

Does anyone know of a reliable source for build #'s? If it could be broken down by color as well that'd be even nicer. I know I've seen at least one other GT Silver GTS in manual on here

I have one in Sapphire Blue but I don't think these will appreciate much. Maybe depreciate less?

 

Hi


Re your question, I would be (pleasantly) surprised if the numbers were that low. I'd assume that the percentage of manuals is ~15% of the total GTS build number, but there were quite a few around the US when I was searching for a '15/'16 to buy last year.

 

Manual GTS in Agate here. Love the car.

 

I have one. Looking for a GTS w/ 7MT definitely made the hunt more difficult but they're out there.

 

PDK GTS here!! And not afraid to admit it.

 

Excuuuuse me! How'd they even let you into this thread?

 

I realize that appreciation may be a pipe dream in the short term. But let's have a thought experiment and imagine that Porsche purists value the Naturally Aspirated manual's which are all but extinct post 991.2. How few 991.1 GTS 7MT would need to be built to qualify these as collectible?
