981 Prototype First Ride Impressions

Can anyone say "center console delete"?

Sounds like a continuation of the "softer, more comfy, and more refined/luxurious" theme. Thanks but no thanks. Not for me. The success of the Panamera is ruining Porsche.

next thing you know they'll be talking about removing the connection between the driver and steering providing for a smoother experience. oh wait...

one reviewer who was given the ride said:

Following the move taken with the 911, the new model forgoes traditional hydraulic assistance for new electromechanical actuation. Ernst admits it is among the most important aspects of the new car. "It is much calmer and doesn't transmit as much impact back to the steering wheel on challenging surfaces," he says.
