I would look at it from that lens rather than repeatedly saying no one buys the car for cup holders. If you spend 5 minutes under these cars and have slightly above average academics, you’ll understand that every little thing has been carefully thought through. You simply dont expect Porsche to make these mistakes. They have been clearly overlooked. You, me , or 932 other people in this forum will never look at those outer gauges but still the fact that there are gauges on the instrument cluster that you simply cannot see is a massive oversight. When that cluster was designed, someone should have said something about the inability to see all the information presented on it.

It is a track focused car and it is setup as such. The instruments are fine and you don't need a cup holder for the designed purpose. Maybe on a touring...

Yikes, lots of force on that lens mount not to mention impacts on the lens elements. If you like your camera I wouldn't do that...

I dont need you to provide a workaround as I personally would not use the outer gauges or the cup holder. The point here is Porsche doesnt make these types of mistakes. You'd expect this from a Corvette or a Mustang.

After receiving the "smoker package," I'm a little ashamed of ordering it. It was "free," but it really has no use for me. I took delivery at my house. After pulling the car into the driveway, I removed the "cup" and tossed it somewhere in the garage. For a GT car, especially a manual, there is really zero benefit I can see for this device.

Also, as far as the cup holder goes, I tossed that too. No way I could drink something in this car the way I drive it...
