Enthusiasts like us get frustrated by the steering-wheel-mounted shift paddles on Porsche’s PDK-equipped vehicles: they\u2019re toggle switches on both sides of the steering wheel that each nudge back and forth for shifts. Porsche has started to remedy that by offering a factory steering wheel with traditional shift paddles: pull right to upshift, left to downshift. For now, the wheel is only offered on the 911 Turbo<\/a> (as a $490 option) and the Boxster Spyder<\/a>, but we expect it will spread to other models.<\/p>\n

For buyers who\u2019ve already got an older PDK-equipped Porsche, TechArt is offering a retrofit package. The company will sell you a new steering wheel with the proper shift paddles. They are plastic, but painted silver to look like metal. The steering wheel costs \u20ac490 plus taxes, or just over $650, which is a relatively small price to pay for perfecting your Porsche.<\/p>\n
