There is nothing mechanical or finely crafted about the current tachometer. The tachometer gets its signal from the ECU so it is not a mechanical linkage to the engine. I doubt anyone will care about the tachometer.

I certainly care and based on other comments I’ve seen on here I’m certainly not alone. I personally am just a bit sick of all the digital instrument clusters. At least Porsche still integrates theirs into the dash - other manufacturers now are just smacking one large screen on top of the dash like an afterthought (hey there BMW and Mercedes).

I'm not a fan of the digital tach. it doesn't matter that the current "mechanical" one isn't driven by a gear and a cable. it's still a physical object and more enjoyable. I'd actually prefer as much of the instrument cluster as possible be physical objects.

but don't listen to me. i think the lady shaver is an aesthetic improment over the 991 pdf shifter. it was ugly and i never used it to shift. that's what paddles are for.

Since Porsche has announced the 2023 America GTS with pics… proves the 992.2 is more than likely a 24 MY.

I do. Our 'other' car has a fully digital dash, the 992 approach is much nicer to use.

Wow - it is truly remarkable how little changes they made from the .1 to the .2… oh wait a minute…

well that settles that debate at least

same car… just slightly heavier on the wallet

Yeah, that's not good news either, my build price went up 6,000 and I lost the choice of my preferred color, Dolomite Silver.

Message when I tried to open my preferred configuration this morning


Lose Dolomite Silver as an option


Price before update:

Price post-update with the exact same configuration substituting GT for Dolomite, both $840. $7270 more.

The updated configurator now actually shows the car in the various PTS colors! It’s actually semi-accurate.

That’s a huge development - it will be so much easier to play with color choices now.

My build would cost me $7,390 more now which is well in excess of half of my ADM. So it cost me a bit over $4K to get my car in April instead of sitting on a waiting list still today.

One thing got a little cheaper. 14 way seats went from $2330 to $2110.
My build is about $5K higher for the same car.

don't know why it sez pdk, I spec'd with a 7 speed, the only reason I'm going for the S instead of a Carrera. Just checked: still no manual with the Base.

Sorry if this has already been asked or if it's a stupid question. (My SA is on vacation so i can't ask him) my car was due to start production on 6/10, TYD still shows it "scheduled" these new prices and changes are for MY23 correct? my car and price shouldn't change correct?

There was a similar adjustment to the 18-way seat option... likely associated with continued elimination of the power steering column?
