Below is a 992.2 GT3 test mule. All the proof we need that the analog tachometer is being replaced for a full LCD screen like the Taycan and Cayenne.

The bad news? That shit won’t age well. And who knows about the longevity of what is basically a giant LCD screen. I’m nothing thinking long given the elements and UV exposure of a car.

The good news? Hope it helps Porsche save some money. So they can justify keeping the GT3 around for a little longer.

When I sit in the new Taycan or Cayenne at the dealer, my first thought is “holy shit why would I spend this much money and not get a 911?”. After that though, i love both.

Now. Does that translate to a sports car? I don’t know dude.

2 very different use cases though. If you need 4 doors and a usable backseat the 911 won’t be under consideration.

After driving an EV for a few months now I’m actually not sure that I’d choose any modern turbo automatic vehicle (including a regular pdk 911) over an EV. At the very least I need a good manual to make it worth it to go with an ICE car and ideally an NA motor too.
