Default Center locks or PCCB revisions?

Do we know yet if the center locks were revised? I asked the girls at the LA auto show and her iPad seemed to indicate to her it was a new design because of the RWS, and also updated on the front to match?

Do we know if the PCCBs are revised? I thought I read rumors that these would be more robust and trackabke unlike the 997? Any confirmation??


And, why no HUD? I love it in my M5 and can image how great it'd be ontrack in a new GT3

Thanks
Trevor

I don't believe the girls are there for technical expertise.

The PCCB's are new; they are identical to the ones on the 918. Nothing to do with RWS. Bigger, revised materials, better wear characteristics according to Porsche. skuplist is right; the girls aren't there for their tech expertise....

If you have the right tools and understand the procedure, you don't have to take the car to the dealer, either with the old CL's or the new.

Agree that HUD is amazing in the F10 M5. It pairs so well to a DCT/PDK where you don't have tactile indication of what gear you are in.
