It is basically a combination of the sport design (with paddles that people want) and multi function wheel. Best of both worlds, I guess.

To me, definitely +1 on this. Looks even better than the Sport Design steer.

+1 The wheel to want is a combination of both sport design and the multi functional wheel. The 918 version looks superb, sporty and versatile.

Finally. Not that it helps me out any but that needs to be the standard 911 wheel. That a cheeky little upstart SUV gets a better standard wheel than a 911 is a bit of a face slap from Porsche. It's like they're saying "you'll buy whatever we put in it and you'll gladly upgrade, but the SUV market is competitive so we actually have to offer something better".

Seems they're taking my survey advice after all. That's the proper standard wheel and we've FINALLY gotten a suitable 2 tone no charge interior option that gets rid of the facial tanning mirror that the Luxor dashboard is. Only for the Cayenne though. So far.

Next up: standard deviated stitching which would look great, cost nothing and probably generate more revenue by getting more ppl to tick off remaining leather pieces to get the full set.

Still like the looks of the Sport Design best...although admittedly I am always trying to adjust volume with my left thumb! (BMW habit)

The new GTI has a cool looking flat bottom steering wheel.

I wonder if this is a final admission that the toggles are dumb.

I like the advances in airbag technology so the middle gets smaller, plus the hollow spokes. These wheels are looking more and more like non-airbag ones which is a huge plus for me. Still remember my first Porsche airbag steering wheel, and then very rapidly the first non OEM part I'd ever fitted to a car...

I agree with Delrosario.

Of course I'm biased but the SportDesign wheel is the best looking wheel. Even over the Macan. I also like the "Apex tape" design built into the leather at the top of the wheel. Just looks nice.

Thanks for posting all three together from the config!
