I had the understanding that the 991 had two steering wheels for PDK cars. (1) with the PDK paddles and no functions on the wheel and (2) one with the functions on the wheel but with those stupid m%$@^$F*$&%#g buttons. It is like having a supermodel girlfriend with stinky feet. She is really hot and you love her but those feet… I hate the buttons but love the functions on the wheel. I just ran across this picture of the Lumma Design 991.

Does Porsche make a wheel with functions and paddles? Or is this custom to Lumma?

Thanks

Sorry. forgot to attach the photo.

 

Feet can be washed, steering wheels can be changed.

But seriously (try the veal), I believe there are three OEM wheels for the 991 at the moment. The base with the shift buttons and nothing else, the base with the shift buttons and multifunction buttons and the sports design wheel that just has the paddles. Surely aftermarket wheels cannot be that far away.

 

you can get aftermarket paddles to mount on a multifunction wheel.... why, thats the bigger question... the car needs fixed paddles and multifunction wheel... i.e. ferrari.

paddles on the wheel needs to go by the wayside.

 

well getting the sport steering wheel is an option.

by the way, do you know how he got the white dial on 991? i asked my dealer and his answer wasn't very optimistic about possibility of getting it. mine is not locked yet so i may still have a chance if i steer him to the right path... hopefully

 

Champion made a retrofit kit for the 997.2 PDK's and I believe they may do the same with the 991's.

 

Sorry, I left out some info. I already own the car. It has the wheel with multi-function and buttons. I really want the paddles and multi-functions. But they make it in every combination except with paddles and the multi-functions.

I agree that the paddles should not be on the wheel but stationary on the column. But there are only so many things I can fix.

I did not know Champin made a retro fit paddle. I will try them and Lumma.

"Try the veal"! That is the best laugh I have had in days. Thank you!

 

I have the multi-functional wheel and it is growing on me. The buttons are (dare I say it) not so bad. And I love the multi function aspect of it.

 

Here is a link for the pdk conversion from Champion. Not sure that they work with the 991 yet.

Oh come on. You didn't like the Super model with stinky feet? Really?

 

Both good indeed. But it was the out of left field placement of the veal comment that put it over the top, IMO.. Timing is everything.
