Looks very nice... evolution but sharper looking

A shot of the interior of the next generation Porsche 911 has emerged, it shows a full view of the inside of the up-coming sports car with very few elements disguised. The image joins a collection of shots that hint at what the entire car will look like. What we can tell is that, as with every generation of the 911, the new model won't look dramatically different from the current car but it will showcase another leap in chassis and interior technology.

The latest image shows a lot more of the future car's interior than we've seen before. As expected, there's a Panamera-style centre console with gloss black surfaces and very few buttons. There's also a wide infotainment screen in the centre of the dash with the same clean, black and white graphics that made a debut on the Panamera.

Between the gloss black panels we can see the new PDK gear selector. Rather than the tall ball-topped lever that the current car uses, this is a small, rectangular shaped device. It looks as though it isn't designed to change up or down through the ratios, however, and is just used select drive, reverse or park. The wheel-mounted paddles will be the only way to manually change gears.

If a proper manual gearbox will be available, we hope the location on the cup holder we can see in this latest spy shot – not far behind the PDK gear selector – is moved. It looks to be in the exact place that your elbow will sit when you're changing gear.

The 911's famous five-dial instruments have also changed significantly; two screens have replaced the outer four dials. These displays look, from the picture, as though they can be configured to look like four dials but we suspect the two pairs can be combined to create two bigger screens, much like the Panamera's dash. Purists can breathe a sigh of relief, however, because the centre dial is still a proper analogue rev counter.

The design of the steering wheel has also been altered. Thankfully not dramatically, considering how well received the 918-style steering wheel has been on modern Porsches. What we can see, however, is a collection of buttons filling in the two horizontal spokes that, it's safe to assume, control the infotainment and dash displays.

enclosed is another clear shot of the interior with the all important manual transmission dismissing fears of a PDK only range !


With a touch of retro styling with the auxiliary controls up in the middle of the centre console

Looks familiar :?:
 
Wowsers. Big change.

Instrument cowling looks like a throwback to the air cooled cars. Main dash and console has a lot less flow (realise it's not finsihed, but you can see how it's going tom flow or rather not flow). Looks like a BMW-Merc mashup. Not really liking.
 
Those centre air vents are very low :eek:

How do you change gear if you have a bottle in the centre holder :dont know:
 
Went to the new Cayenne launch this evening at my local OPC.

The 992 dash and centre console are a virtual carbon copy of the new Cayenne's layout. Impressive in the flesh, but those 2 centre vents are indeed way too low because of the need to make way for the large centre touch screen.
 
The two red buttons: 'I'd like to stop, please..." and 'I'd really really like to stop RIGHT NOW!"

:floor:

Probably only allowed the booze if you have been to 3 previous OPC events :sad:

And you had to pay to upgrade the nibbles from salted to Dry roasted :nooo:
