And counting revs of what? The average if the rotor speeds? Or just make it up. Or shock! Have a modern dash that shows useful information.

Ah, thanks WC, so almost 7 dials then and speed in the middle. Not too bad, although still showing signs of redundant stupidity - that's the worlds biggest clock on the right and will it still have a SC clock on the mantlepiece, I wonder?

Nice to have the weather on there because, it's probably quite hard to look out the window :)

On the left, they've prioritised phone calls over battery levels. I suspect, owners might be want to swap those around if it's possible!

I imagine that there will be a great ability for the driver to customise what appears where. :)

I should think there will be almost infinite permutations available for the 5/7 sections of the display. :ugeek:

I would hope so! but this is Porsche remember. Each bit was probably designed and developed by different teams that never spoke to each other :roll:

:lol: Let's see what develops over the next 2 years... Expectations are high.

Although many seem to doubt that the Mission E will actually retail for Panamera prices (from around $85,000/£68,000)... :geek:

Maybe it’ll retail for panamera prices in 2019 when it costs £110k :-)

I actually like the Macan dash. I like the scroll wheel for the various options and the fact that a fair bit of it is customisable. Helps that the 718 I also drive has exactly the same controls etc, just that the switches etc are in different places.
