Analog Aficionado? Porsche's Digital Surprise Goes Way Back (Can You Guess the Car?)
If the all-digital instrument panel on the new 911 annoys you, Porsche dabbled with the idea in the early 2000s
Be it road cars or motorsports, Porsche is a brand that is steeped in tradition and there are certain things about models like the 911, that the German marque should be very careful about changing or altering, or it could leave the Porsche faithful reaching for the pitchforks. Think stuff like the five-gauge instrument cluster with the big analog tachometer in the center, or the twist-and-turn Le Mans-style starter that sits to the left of the steering wheel.
