Driver involvement rather than lap time? Mazda Miata has been doing this for whole time, it's nothing new.

Porsche won't be able to do it, their market/customers are rich people looking for luxury sportscar with all the cool features.
It is not likely Porsche will ditch leather interior, high end sound system, heated seats, A/C, ABS, traction control, rev-match, stability control, and all the other goodies.

Same with Lamborghini. I think they sold only 1% Murcielago with manual transmission. Although car enthusiasts were saying how Lamborghini should be building "real" sportscars with stick shift, people who actually make enough cash to buy Lamborghini weren't looking for something with stick shift.
