Default Steering Wheel

I searched the forum but didn’t find the answer to the following question.

What is the difference between the standard steering wheel and the GT Sport steering wheel?

If equipped with Sport Package or Sport Chrono, you still get the dials on the wheel.

Is it just diameter and thickness?

I believe the diameter is the same for both wheels in the 992. However the GT Sport Steering Wheel is thicker. The trim surrounding the floating controls on the spokes is different. On the regular wheel, there is a silver outline, whereas the outline is dark gray on the GT Sport Steering Wheel, and there are decorative bolts at the corners giving a bit of an industrial look.

10 and 2 position is thicker, there are visible fasteners around the outer face, and there is a 12 o clock stripe.

The steering wheel is a stand-alone option. The standard wheel feels quite thin to me compared to other “performance” cars, although some here who had a chance to sample both prefer it to the GT.

I prefer the feel of the standard wheel. The gauges are easier to see and the feel is better, IMO

Porsches traditionally have thinner, harder steering wheels than a lot of other makes. Personally, I like that.

I too stayed with the standard wheel as I have small hands and can see the gauges better with it.
