If their current manual box could not take the torque, they NEED to offer one that does, this is a 911 we are talking about, they can't hold back on the manual's performance just because its carry over tranny is not up to par with the new engine. An adecuate manual gearbox is expected on such a car, a auto-Tip is not an option for many Sportcar buyers and it does not represent what the 911 has stood for all these years.

It would be like not allowing slicks on the new GT3 just because the previous lubrification system can no longuer handle the new GT3's performance or something like that.
