Race On Sunday, Daily On Monday

Next Porsche 911 will get a major interior overhaul 

It has screens, toggles, and the center console even gets a cupholder. 

Porsche appears once again to be playing it cool and conservative with the exterior on the next-generation 911 based on spy shots so far. Inside it's a different story, as the above spy shots reveal. The dashboard has been thoroughly revised, and there are a number of interface changes.
 
Possibly the most prominent change in the center console is the shifter. This 911 is clearly equipped with a PDK dual-clutch transmission, but the big chunky shift lever is gone. Now a paddle that looks like a large climate control toggle sits in its place and simply puts the car in drive, neutral or reverse. There isn't a setting for manual on the shifter, indicating that any manual gear changes must be done with steering wheel paddles. Manual and park settings are activated with buttons behind the shift paddle.

Finally, there's a cup holder at the back of the center console. It doesn't look particularly effective, but it's nice it's there. We expect to see the new 911 interior, compete with cupholder, fully revealed with the rest of the car sometime in the spring.
