For me it would of been a glass sunroof to the older smaller 911's, just to brighten up the cabin a bit, but this is not exhaustive, what about a heated windscreen? yes I know these are limited to the Ford brand & climate more or less negates this, unless it's minus whatever & the AC won't turn on.

So what would you like to see, or of liked to have seen, in Porsche's? They are often well behind the industry & don't include, or charge extra for pretty standard rep mobile kit. One touch indicators were standard in cars long before Porsche adopted them, sat nav & bluetooth prices are laughable compared to after market stuff or other manufacturers that throw it in on specials, which is often much better kit.

So in this day & age can Porsche rest on it's laurels & still pretend people only buy them as a 'drivers car'?

On the 'classic' 911s ? nono

- 'Head Up Display' would be really useful.

- PCM needs a software updating facility. That's what angers most users.

- Bring back Fuchs alloys

- Agree about heated bucket seats

Pop up bullet proof spoiler !
Rocket launchers behind the headlights?

I don't think it's a case options that Porsche should offer its the stuff that should be standard especially going forwards on 100k cars... There should be a tiny list of options cos its all already there!!

They were the first manufacturer to introduce Turbos on their cars, so I forgive them for every thing they haven't made standard biggrin

I have one fitted to one of my 996s. Ironically it's actually a part for an RSR.
I do however have no heating to help offset this reduction in manliness smile

The in the 991, pressing the sport button should adjust the steering feel into a move lively setting.
