When it comes to building engines, one philosophy is that the bigger, the better. Six cylinders? Why not eight? Ten? Twelve? Another philosophy is to work smarter, not harder. If you can get supercar specs out of six cylinders, why drag the car down with all that extra aluminum and cast iron? Track records are frequently made and broken on a difference of 100 pounds of curb weight, and with how much juice you can get out of turbochargers and electric motors these days, it's no wonder some of the quickest cars in the world have some of the leanest engines.

The manual transmission may be dying, but the 7-speed manual transmission is all but dead. This peculiar transmission type first popped up in 2012 with the introduction of the 991 generation of the Porsche 911. In that instance, Porsche and transmission supplier ZF engineered the manual and PDK to share many of the same components to help fuel economy and make parts more common along the range. Today, only one vehicle still uses a 7-speed manual in the US, and instead of speed and fuel efficiency, it's built for improved off-road prowess.

There's Only One 7-Speed Manual Car Left In America

While not as “to the wall” as its Type R sibling, the Si is sporty enough for most enthusiast drivers thanks to its peppy engine and, best of all, six-speed manual transmission.

V8s get a lot of attention when it comes to enthusiast cars, but the humble six-cylinder has become remarkably prevalent in an era where downsizing and turbocharging give you more power with a lower cylinder count. The six-cylinder strikes the balance between four and eight by providing a mix of an engine that can be smooth, reliable, and highly tuneable in the right scenarios. Six-cylinder engines in automotive use are typically found in four configurations:
