Of course the R can have a manual (with a comically weak clutch.)
That is kind of contradictory though. If you are straight up subbing steel for aluminum, it'll weigh less, but also be less rigid. Aluminum is mostly done for weight. I'm sure they can add reinforcements to make/keep it stiff, it's probably a very modular chassis.
