No, sorry Joe, it's an eight speed automatic. I have had about 50-60 sports, high performance and antique cars over my years, all of which have been stick shifts and all of which have been used cars. When I ordered this in 2016 at age 70 I decided that I was old enough to deserve an automatic and a warranty. I really do like the A8 and when I have my monthly lunch with my long time friend and C4 Corvette ZR-1 engine builder, he always wants to drive it because, he says, "I like the automatic". The rest of his working life he spends driving 6 speed ZR-1s. --Bob
