Details
Summary
The first water-cooled 911 also brought a completely redesigned cockpit.
Specifications
Cockpit
Instrument cluster
Speedometer and voltmeter to the left of a large central rev counter with a digital speed readout; coolant temperature, fuel and oil gauges to its right. The styling follows the Boxster's, and the cluster can also show navigation information from the PCM.
Centre display
Controls
Automatic climate control and PCM were optional; the centre console and door panels were redesigned to match the dashboard.
Facts
- Breaking with 911 tradition, the five round instruments merge into one another in a single cluster.[1]
- The digital speed readout was added because the analog speedometer was criticised as hard to read.[3]
- The 996 and the 986 Boxster were the first Porsches with factory-orderable CD navigation with a map display; PCM 1 was developed with Siemens and Harman Becker.[3][6]
- 996s built in the 1990s could already be ordered with PCM, and Porsche's later PCCM Plus retrofit keeps the cluster's navigation displays working.[4][5]
- The centre console became more vertically oriented than in the air-cooled cars, to make room for screens.[7]
