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 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.caranddriver.com\/reviews\/car\/09q4\/2010_porsche_911_turbo_-first_drive_review\">911 Turbo<\/a> (as a $490 option) and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.caranddriver.com\/reviews\/car\/09q4\/2011_porsche_boxster_spyder-first_drive_review\">Boxster Spyder<\/a>, but we expect it will spread to other models.<\/p>\n<p>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<p><span id=\"more-17689\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-17691\" title=\"TechArt Porsche steering wheel\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.caranddriver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/TechArt-Porsche-Steering-Wheel-2-440x268.jpg?resize=440%2C268\" alt=\"TechArt Porsche steering wheel\" width=\"440\" height=\"268\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Related posts:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href='http:\/\/blog.caranddriver.com\/2009-porsche-boxster-s-pdk-first-drive-review\/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: 2009 Porsche Boxster S PDK &#8211; First Drive Review'>2009 Porsche Boxster S PDK &#8211; First Drive Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href='http:\/\/blog.caranddriver.com\/2009-porsche-911-carrera-4s-pdk-short-take-road-test\/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: 2009 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S PDK &#8211; Short Take Road Test'>2009 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S PDK &#8211; Short Take Road Test<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href='http:\/\/blog.caranddriver.com\/how-to-launch-a-2009-porsche-911-carrera-s-manual-and-pdk-feature\/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: How to: Launch a 2009 Porsche 911 Carrera S Manual and PDK &#8211; Feature'>How to: Launch a 2009 Porsche 911 Carrera S Manual and PDK &#8211; Feature<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Enthusiasts like us get frustrated by the steering-wheel-mounted shift paddles on Porsche&#8217;s PDK-equipped vehicles: they\u2019re toggle switches on both sides of the steering wheel that each nudge back and forth for shifts.
