While doing a Google search on the Burmester Audio Sys. I stumbled upon this pic. Could this be a leak of the new 998 Interior?



The pic is small, but maybe its a hint of things to come. Seems realistic, considering the recent changes to the new Cayenne.

Any thoughts?

I hope not...doesn't say sports car to my eye

Could this have been a Panamera prototype? The same pic is posted here with a date of 02/24/2009.

Oh God I hope not. But I'm not optimistic. Porsche will probably follow trends these days more than ever. Look at the "trendy fashion statement" interiors of cars like....., I don't know. Maybe Nissan or Acura: my bet is Porsche will try to fit into that mess.

That's the Panamera prototype.

The next 911, aka "991" will probably also offer that Burmester stuff.

Since the name of the pic is burmeister_panamera dot jpeg..... well, I think that says it all.........

Where will they find room to fit? Takes up a bit of room looking at Panamera

I like the new gadgets to some degree but not too much in 911 dont need 15" monitor for Navi

I will be order the Burmester in the 2011 Cayn. for the wife.

Dont know why I would do it Like I can hear the difference (going deaf) Too many Concerts in the 70's has taken a toll on the ears. Or can a wife cause that hummm

Personally, I'm happy enough with the Bose. But then, I have a cabriolet and the engine sound is my music--right?

I'm hoping 991 has an interior that is minimalist - more like the 458 than a super-sized Virtu phone. The 458 looks like it's a driver's car rather than 21st C bordello with massaging seats and cocktail shakers for cup holders.

I also want easy voice activation so I can shout and swear at the controls on a Monday morning and they will behave like Baldrick in the Blackadder series.

Nope. There was a spy shot last year showing just a glimpse of the new 991 interior. It was definitely similar to the Panamera center console, but nothing like your pic. More true to the current 997 interior with a touch of new Panamera/Cayenne style. (a.k.a. big, black buttons).

Not much hope for the future, IMO. The classic "purist" interior look is almost completely gone; will be blurred even more to match popular expectations as time goes on. Could't find a decent interior of 997.2.

The 997 interior (especially the 997.2) is pretty simple and elegant. if I had a 997.1 and it was a keeper I would send the faceplates of the PCM and AC to Eric at BumperPlugs.com and have him paint them satin black like the 997.2, if at all possible.

Definitely. Here it is in leather:
