Unfortunately the new R8 is not going to offer a manual transmission (sorry guys, anything with two pedals and 'P R N D' is an automatic in my book, even if it has paddle shifters). A lot of the R8s I've seen had gated manual transmissions though...guess it was a popular option in NC.
They do already put a Manual Transmission in an Audi R8, but there aren't many out there that are purely manual, as a lot of them are Tiptronic, meaning they can be both Auto or Manual.
