The Modern Manuals collection brings together performance cars that kept the manual transmission alive across different segments, from hot hatches and compact sports cars to muscle cars, luxury performance models, and exotic machinery. It includes notable examples from Porsche, BMW, Honda, Ford, Chevrolet, Subaru, Toyota, Audi, and other manufacturers, with each model selected for its combination of performance, driving character, and involvement behind the wheel. Rather than focusing only on outright speed, this collection looks at the engineering and character behind modern manual cars, including naturally aspirated and turbocharged engines, rear-wheel drive and AWD systems, limited-slip differentials, close-ratio gearboxes, lightweight construction, and performance-tuned chassis. The result is a selection of manual sports cars, manual performance cars, and enthusiast-focused vehicles that show why the three-pedal setup remains relevant even as automatic transmissions become the norm.
