The Porsche specialists from GEMBALLA have announced that they have developed a new steering wheel for the new Porsche models equipped with the PDK gearbox. The GEMBALLA Porsche PDK steering wheel is equipped with a full-size air bag, has a diameter of 340mm and features classic F1 rocker switches. The rocker switches are positioned behind the GEMBALLA Porsche PDK steering wheel and not as the standard unit, which may seem un-natural for some drivers.
The GEMBALLA Porsche PDK steering wheel has a modern 3-spoke design and can be covered in leather or ultra suede combined with carbon or aluminum.
The GEMBALLA Porsche PDK steering wheel price is 1,680 Euros.
GEMBALLA Press Release:
Clever accessory for the new Porsche Doppelkupplung transmission – The GEMBALLA 340mm full-size air bag steering wheel with classic F1 rocker switches
GEMBALLA Automobiltechnik GmbH & Co. KG from Leonberg near Stuttgart has the solution for afflicted users of the Porsche Doppelkupplung transmission (PDK). Awkwardly positioned gears and an illogical
allocated gear selection have so far reduced the pleasure for the latest gearbox generation by Porsche. But enough of that: With the new sport steering wheel and its clever F1 rocker switches which are positioned behind the steering wheel rim and the classic gearshift scheme – right for shifting up and left for shifting down – the renowned Porsche refiner GEMBALLA has devised a sensible solution for freewheeling and fast gear shifts. Measuring only 340 mm in diameter and with its ergonomic shape for exceptional grip, it is highly suitable for a sportive use.
Also visually, the new steering wheel leaves
a perfect impression: With its modern 3-spoke design, it perfectly integrates into the current Porsche interior. Each customer can select from numerous material- and color variations matching each serial- or special edition. Entirely by hand, the GEMBALLA interior decorators cover the steering wheel rim, -airbag, -core and –hub with leather or ultra suede and combine it with segments of carbon, varnish or aluminum if desired. The horn key and rocker switches are anodized in black.
GEMBALLA – the specialist for High End Porsche refinements and innovative interior design offers its steering wheel, approved by the Technical Control Board, for all Porsche models with PDK at an introductory price starting from 1,680 Euros.
