Porsche 911, Boxster and Cayman owners whose cars are fitted with PDK gearboxes can now order steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters as a retro-fit option.
Versions of the cars sold since August 2009 have had this option available from new, but Porsche has now decided to allow owners of older models to switch from the steering wheel-mounted buttons that PDK cars originally came with. The paddles are mounted to the three-spoke steering wheel taken from the new Porsche 911 Turbo.

From August, the retro-fit option will be open to Panamera and Cayenne owners. In Europe, the retro-fit option is 940 euros (£800) and UK pricing is expected to be announced shortly.
Porsche's Tequipment department is also offering three other retro-fit options for 911 owners, including the Fuchs wheel arches and 19-inch alloys taken from the limited-edition 911 Sport Classic model. The other options are inspired by the 911 race cars from the Porsche Supercup and include a new front aero kit and rear wing.

Re: Paddle shifters come to Porsche
Where not talking about the ZR1 are we? thats got 153bhp and 174lb of torque more so why you comparing it to that? or any other American car with over 600bhp? GTR was aimed at the Turbo not cars like the LP670SV or the Noble M600 so why does the GTR come in that range grow up GTR is comparable to the LP560-4 or GT2 not a 600bhp car idiot!!!
