the new interior layout looks interesting, new buttons on the multi-function steering wheel and possibly two digital displays in the instrument cluster?
If we're talking strictly Porsche gauges, why not a 3 gauge cluster. The two outboard gauges are damn near useless on the 5.
Could I show you something in a Cayman? Perhaps a Boxster?
In all seriousness, I used to love the 5-guage 911 layout, which gave you important instruments like oil temp that nobody else included. But then they came out with the electroluminescent screen and now I keep fake Oil Temp, Oil Press, Water Temp guages up on that, which makes the others utterly redundant. I never looked at them the whole time I had the 991.
So now I'm fine with the 981 dash, since I keep the same display on the screen.

Where did you find pics of the interior? I'm assuming it will mirror the new panamera interior which has a digital instrument cluster with analog tach in the middle. Same for the center console.
I'm really excited to see the 992 fully revealed! If they can get the sound right, I'll be ordering one immediately 🙂
good observation. The rear wheels look about 1 or 2 inches further back relative to the old car. Or stated another way, the engine seems pushed into the middle of the car by another couple of inches, making it slightly less rear engined. Just
like the 991 engine was pushed forward 100mm or so from the 997. I wonder if the rear seats will gain a bit more space as a convenient byproduct of the longer wheelbase.

A few pages back in this there's some shots of the interior. \/
