Different approach by Porsche:
"The steering wheel in its sporting three-spoke design features two ergonomically arranged gear -
shift paddles operated by pressing either forwards or backwards and thus allowing precise
and intuitive use in all positions of the steering wheel. Pressing the paddles from the front,
the driver shifts up, pressing the paddles from behind the steering wheel, he shifts down to
a lower gear. In either case it is irrelevant whether the driver uses the right or left paddle."



Why are you guys so sceptical about the new buttons?

To date there are two paddle concepts available: fixed paddles (like Ferrari, Lamborghini) and moving paddles (like BMW etc.). While the fixed paddles might be a bit difficult to operate in certain extreme driving situations the moving paddles have a major disadvantage: the up/down button is hard to identify if the steering wheel is in turned position. The new Porsche concept avoids this problem
