Features include rear-axle steering, the PASM Sport suspension with a 10 mm lowered ride height, the Sport Chrono package, a SportDesign front fascia and a titanium exhaust system specifically tuned for a distinct auditory signature.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In a first for the Carrera S trim, lightweight centre-lock wheels come standard, which lightens the car by 17 lb (7.7 kg). Inside, a walnut gearshift knob serves as a focal point alongside standard 4-way Sport Seats Plus.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AUBERGINE_911_CARRERA_S_MANUAL_005_DSC02993.jpg\" alt=\"\" itemprop=\"contentURL\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\n     |  Photo: Porsche\n<\/p>\n<p>Powertrain of the 2027 Porsche 911 Carrera S with manual<\/p>\n<p>Power comes from Porsche\u2019s proven 3.0Le twin-turbocharged flat-6 engine, producing 473 HP. Tipping the scales at a svelte 3,327 lb, the manual Coupe weighs just 11 lb more than the 911 Carrera T. Weight-saving options such as carbon-fibre bucket seats and Porsche Ceramic-Composite Brakes (PCCB) remain available for further track-focused optimization.<\/p>\n<p>Replacing the previous 7-speed unit, the new 6-speed gearbox uses the same first six ratios found in the Carrera T, doing away with the redundant seventh gear for a cleaner, more intuitive shift pattern. A custom puddle lamp projecting the shift pattern onto the ground is also offered as a playful exterior option.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AUBERGINE_911_CARRERA_S_MANUAL_003_DSC02878-R.jpg\" alt=\"\" itemprop=\"contentURL\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\n     |  Photo: Porsche\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AUBERGINE_911_CARRERA_S_MANUAL_025_DSC03941.jpg\" alt=\"\" itemprop=\"contentURL\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\n     |  Photo: Porsche\n<\/p>\n<p>2027 Porsche 911 Carrera S with manual \u2013 Pricing and availability in Canada<\/p>\n<p>Order books are now open in Canada, with prices starting at $177,500 for the Coupe and $191,800 for the Cabriolet.
