The 2023 Toyota GR Supra manual transmission is official.

2023 Toyota GR Supra manual transmission

Whether it was part of the plan all along or due to overwhelming demand, Toyota has finally introduced a manual transmission option for the GR Supra. 2023 models with the BMW-sourced 3.0L twin-turbo 6-cylinder will get the option, as will a new limited-production A91-MT spec. That model is manual-only, while the base 2.0L turbo 4-cylinder will remain 8-speed automatic-only. Only 500 A91-MT versions will be produced. The transmission is an existing Toyota manual transmission with their iMT rev-matching technology. More on this here.

2023 Porsche 911 Sport Classic debuts.

Porsche has debuted a new 911 variant that channels the energy of previous generations by way of plaid seats, a ducktail spoiler, RWD, and a manual transmission. Named the ‘Sport Classic’,  it is based on the Turbo S and makes 543 horsepower from that car’s 3.7L twin-turbo flat-6 engine. It is now the most powerful manual-equipped car the company makes, with ceramic brakes, dynamic chassis control, rear-axle steering, and adaptive suspension all standard. Decals on the exterior are also present and accounted for. More on this retro-homage 911 here.

Polestar 2 gets a refresh for 2023.

2023 Polestar 2, exterior

Polestar is giving the 2 a moderate update for the 2023 model year. Among the changes are a tweaked exterior, new colors and wheels, and more sustainable materials and production practices. Powertrains are expected to remain the same, so continue to expect a single- and dual-motor option. The on-board heat pump has received an upgrade, however, yielding better cold weather performance and comfort. Read more about the changes here.
