I have a 991.2 GTS and a Panamera Turbo S e-hybrid Sport Turismo. I didn’t really pine for a 992 until I got the Panamera and it was all because of the cockpit. The new glass dash and touch sensitive center console that Porsche is moving to is really good, although I’m not totally sold on the center console itself because I do like actual buttons. I get in my GTS now and feel like I am stepping down in interior. The big display and new PCM software is as good as they have ever delivered but I advise that you need to sit in your driveway for 30 minutes to go through it instead of learning while driving. Despite the differences, Porsche does a great job of delivering continuity across models and generations. The Panamera feels very much like a Porsche inside.

Some will say the interior is second to the performance, a distraction. These are equal part luxury and performance cars now and Porsche is really stepping up their game on interior materials, fit-and-finish, and details like the knurled buttons. Oddly enough, the Sport Chrono **** on the steering wheel is still black plastic despite all the other ***** and dials having a distinctive metal finish. I would like Porsche to make this feature more distinctive, like the Manettino dial on Ferrari steering wheels.

For 991.x owners on the fence about the 992, I would put it to rest. Aside from the oddly-shaped PDK shifter (why not just go all buttons at this point?) the 992 interior is a big step up.

No, this is directed at 991 owners.

From the pictures and videos, the 992 interior looks like a step down to me. Nubbin, giant cup holder, and horizontal ledge (for what? to collect dust) are the main things I don’t like. I’m sure the tech on the screens is better, but not enough of a difference for me. After all, I’m driving, not playing on my iPad.

If you are envious, buy the 992.

Lol at the triggered 991 owners. I don’t love everything about the 992 interior but without a doubt 991 interior feels aged after sitting in the 992 (and it’s not just the tech).
