A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

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 a new supercar maker on the block. Nilu27, a brand founded by Koenigsegg and Bugatti designer Sasha Selipanov, has just revealed its first car: the NILU. Rather than leaning into cutting-edge tech like turbocharging or hybrid assistance, this car takes the purist approach, using a naturally aspirated V-12 connected to a gated manual transmission. It even has gullwing doors.

However, a closer look reveals a hidden gem: a four-letter badge on the trunk that signifies a true automotive powerhouse.

The T-56 six-speed manual transmission has had a very interesting history. Originally made by BorgWarner and appearing first in the 1992 Dodge Viper with its special V10 engine, the T-56 showed up next in GM's 1993 Firebird Trans Am and Camaro Z28 F-body pony cars — as an antidote to problems with the existing T-5 five-speed. The T-5 was small and easy to package in a variety of vehicles, but it was torque-limited to 330 lb-ft at a time when a new horsepower war was getting started in Detroit. The new T-56 six-speed was the solution, with its ability to handle 450 lb-ft of torque without any issues.
