At GTA Exotics, we’ve always believed that driving should be an experience—not just a means of getting from point A to point B. That’s why we pioneered our world-famous Exotic Car Tours, where customers rotate through up to seven different exotic cars in a single day, driving iconic machines like Lamborghini, Ferrari, McLaren, Porsche, and more along scenic, twisty roads just outside Toronto.
Now, we’re taking things to the next level.
We’re proud to announce the launch of our newest and most thrilling experience yet: Manual Exotic Car Tours.
For the True Driving Enthusiast
For years, manual transmission enthusiasts have been asking: “Do you have any stick shift cars?” Until now, our answer had to be no. With our traditional tours, the process of rotating through cars required everyone in the group to be able to drive each vehicle. Since most of our cars were automatic or semi-automatic, that made things easy and accessible for all.
But we haven’t forgotten the purists.
Manual Exotic Car Tours are for those who live for the tactile thrill of clutch-in, shift, clutch-out. If you know the joy of nailing the perfect heel-toe downshift or rowing through the gears of a high-revving performance engine, this is your calling.
What to Expect
The structure of our Manual Exotic Car Tours is similar to our flagship 3-hour and 6-hour Exotic Car Tours. The big difference? Every car in the rotation features a manual transmission.
You’ll drive five different exotic and supercars—all equipped with stick shift. Each vehicle offers a unique personality, handling style, and sound. One moment you might be behind the wheel of a raw, analog icon with a gated shifter, and the next you’re shifting through the gears of a modern-day performance beast with a short-throw gearbox.
Throughout the day, you’ll rotate through each car, enjoying sections of our hand-picked driving routes known for their beautiful scenery, elevation changes, and smooth pavement. Whether you’re carving through backroads or stretching your legs on a straightaway, every moment is designed to maximize seat time and smiles.
By the end of your tour, you’ll have experienced each car from the driver’s seat—just as their creators intended.
Why We Created This Experience
As exotic cars move further into the world of dual-clutch automatics and paddle shifters, true manual transmissions are becoming increasingly rare—and coveted.
We realized that many of our most passionate customers missed that connection between driver and machine. The mechanical, analog feel of a gearstick in your hand. The feedback through the clutch pedal. The way a manual car rewards your skill, focus, and timing.
This new experience is about bringing that connection back—and sharing it with fellow enthusiasts who understand that driving is the reward.
Who This Experience Is For
The Manual Exotic Car Tour is for confident drivers who can drive manual transmission vehicles comfortably. You don’t need to be a professional driver or racecar champion, but you do need to be proficient with a clutch and gearstick to participate.
This tour is perfect for:
- Car enthusiasts who’ve always wanted to drive multiple rare manual exotics in one day
- Bucket list seekers looking for a unique and unforgettable experience
- Couples, friends, or family who all know how to drive stick
- Anyone who thinks driving is an art—and wants to experience it without filters
Manual Cars You Might Drive
While our fleet is subject to change based on availability and season, you can expect to drive a curated selection of exotic and high-performance manual cars. From cult classics to modern marvels, the lineup could include:
- A six-speed Italian thoroughbred with a gated shifter
- A British supercar known for its analog feel and raw performance
- A precision German machine that balances power and poise
- And other surprises that would excite even the most seasoned car lover
Limited Availability
Due to the rarity of these vehicles and the driving skill required, Manual Exotic Car Tours will be offered on select dates only. Spots are extremely limited, and tours will be kept small to ensure a premium, hands-on experience for every participant.
We recommend booking early—especially if you want to share the experience with fellow stick-shift friends.
