Models equipped with the PDK will also be available with a 3-spoke steering wheel with gearshift paddles, instead of the standard wheel with shift buttons.

HOORAY !

:D

...as long as Porsche don't f...up the implementation.

Another report mentioned they were wheel mounted rather than column.

>:D

The grey body color on the cab is so nice. Rather see it on the coupe though.

Not a fan of the rear exhausts but otherwise not bad.

Wow, they've gone very retro with the body-styling. Its very early-911 esque ;D
