Hybrid Cars With Manual Transmissions. Porsche is a world-class sports car enthusiast car, and they deliver with their readily available seven-speed manual transmissions. The first, but certainly not the last, right.

Automatics, CVTs and Hybrid transmissions shift automatically without driver input, while manual transmission uses a combination of a clutch and stick-shift to change gears.
The friction produced from the drag when using B gear generates electricity to keep the car battery charged.
Ironically the manual transmission gets worse MPG due to tuning. The New Kia Rio Hybrid Has a 'Clutch-by-Wire' Setup for Its Manual Transmission Kia's new intelligent stick-shift might be a peek into the future of hybrid drivers' cars. Conventional cars have transmissions so that they can switch to a higher gear to propel the car faster.
