I love the current 997 but Im very excited for this. I believe there will be great changes inside and out.

Spy Photos: 2012 Porsche 911 Interior

By Mike Magrath | September 22, 2010


There's some carpeting on the dash and a sticker over the tach, but overall, this is the clearest interior shot on a 2012 Porsche 911 you can really hope for.
Porsche is taking the 'bring the buttons all the way to the driver's butt' approach they used with the Panamera to the slightly more cramped 911. Also stolen from the Panamera is the company's new, larger, higher res Nav screen. This particular 911 is fitted with Porsche's PDK auto-clutch manual, and has proper down-on-the-left up-on-the-right paddles instead of the silly thumb push buttons. Paddles were a $490 option on the 2010 911 Turbo on top of the $4,550 that PDK already sets you back over a traditional manual.

quite a change!

 

Look and elements from the Panamera !!!
I think that the spirit change a little bit.
But why not ?
V.

 

interesting...

 

I am so used to the 997 interior. It fits like a glove! Hopefully this new design will be easy to transition to.

 

To me, the look of this interior is in line with what I have heard about the 991 - more upscale, larger and even more GT

 

Seems like accessing the radio controls would be hampered by the shifter. I would have liked the CD opening higher up as well. Also seems like having cup holder is now even more risky with those buttons right below it.

On the positive i like all the button controls as opposed to incorporating them into a computer system where you have to hunt through a menu to find what you're looking for. After you're familiar with the layout you can get back to keeping your eyes on the road quicker.

 

thats very nice !!

def reminds me of the panamera and the new cayenne..

it will make shifting easier for manual transmission since the **** appears closer to the steering wheel !

 

btw, where is the hand-brake?

 

I heard that it will be electric parking break; button.

 

It looks sharp!

 

Looks great, I wounder how many buttons with a 6MT.

 

No 6MT. Will be 7MT.

 

ugh reminds me of an audi with all those buttons

and where's the ebrake lever??? don't tell me they're going with a button-controlled ebrake


also, 7 speed manual? wtf?

 

IMO they're making the interiors all the same/similar. I'm not sure about the center console looking like the Pana and Cayenne. Gotta see it in person.
