Enjoy!!
i’ve specced one of these ( in leather though, rather than fuzzy felt ) but I must say I actually prefer the old steering wheel with the chrome accents. This new one looks a bit cheap to my eye. Pretty sure not everyone will agree though.

btw, how do you know what drive mode you are in now? The old wheel had the different modes marked on the chrono knob. The new one doesn’t, it just has cheap looking Halfrauds style text.
The throttle response is so different between normal and sport, you will know!! ;) The MFD also tells you when you change. What we do not know yet is whether there are any changes to what can be shown permanently in MFD or what is shown on the rev counter

I've spec'd the fuzzy felt one! The control knob comes as part of the sport chrono pack along with sport plus setting and dare I say it launch control. If that's the sport chrono pack knob it does look quite cheap

if its not a press car, someone may have just read this and started whimpering about the spec of their car ( i totally agree btw )

I do wonder why anyone at Porsche ever thought painted air vents was a good idea. They look really tacky.

Call me pervy, but I've got a 'thing' about neodyme wheels....

And red calipers :P

I really like the copper colour wheels ( looks a bit steam punk ) but it really depends on the car paint colour.

Reassured by the Gentian Blue - looks great. My base in Gentian with S alloys should roll off the production line in next couple of days. The wheels and callipers on this press car clash horribly though.

I've invested much time on the configurator (don't tell Mrs NTG) and can report the dark body colours work best with the neodyme wheels and red calipers.
The question is which dark colour. Back to the configurator.....

Indeed. IMO you need the red calipers (a colour combo Ferrari use).
