A truly, truly hateful device.

 

How does the E-brake work on these cars?

 

Looks like the regular 981, i.e. a rocker-type button in the lower dash area where your left knee is, push to engage and pull to disengage. Apparently there's even an emergency braking mode in case your regular brakes fail where if you push and hold the button, you get "severe braking", although if I were in the type of emergency situation that might warrant such a measure, I'm not sure I'd think to lean down far enough to hold that button down, taking one hand off the wheel, compromising my overall driving position, and likely impairing my view through the windshield in the process.

 

Most critically, no hand brake turns to impress the ladies.

 

I can confirm that my GT4 does have hill assist.
