I am just wondering why all the RHD 997 handbrakes are not on the drivers side like all the LHD?
Do you think Porsche are saving cost on that?

No idea what you are talking about.
RHD cars have the handbrake in the centre of the car and we use our left hand to operate it. Since I never ever use mine I couldn't careless where it is.

In a left hooker the ash tray open up facing the driver, in a right hooker it doesn't - the hand brake in a left hooker sits an inch or so closer to the driver, on a right hooker, its sits closer to the passenger because they don't swop it over or mirror the interior for a RHD like some other manufacturers do. Cheap skates!
Mind you, its not really a problem. Having owned both left and right I can honestly the steering wheel on the left is much more comfortable. There is more leg room as well! The car is designed in LHD and the ergonomics are definitely suited to LHD a wee bit more. In the 930 the RHD driving position was a joke, even the 964 or 993 are not perfect. The wheel arch in a RHD really obstructs too much into the footwell resulting in you having to compromise your seating position - IMO that is,
