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

If you think the Taycan EV was the first Porsche to feature an all-digital dash, think again

Porsche recently debuted the 992.2 911 Carrera and GTS models for 2025

This latest 911 ditches traditional gauges for a 12.65-inch curved digital-screen

The 911 takes inspiration from the 16.8-inch panel on the Taycan

While a screen is more configurable, it simply doesn't offer the drama of an analog rev-counter

Clearly the case on the pre-facelift model which has a physical tachometer flanked by two 7.0-inch panels

Analog fans will surely miss the traditional 5-gauge setup found on older 911s

Having said that, Porsche dabbled with the idea of a digital instrument cluster two decades ago

The Carrera GT concept from 2000 featured a flat LCD panel about 8.0-10 inches across

Although the final production variant did feature traditional analog gauges

We wonder, could Porsche have not retained some physical element, like the moving rev counter on the Lexus LFA?
