I never did understand why Porsche used that weird rocker switch thing for the steering-mounted gear shifters.
Thankfully there are many who share my views, including Porsche tuner Gemballa, who have just released this Gemballa F1 steering wheel for the Porsche PDK dual clutch transmission. It offers some proper paddle shifts with left for downshift and right for upshift.
Nice and ergonomic, just like how everyone else does it! The steering wheel rim is also pretty darn thick for a firmer grip and includes the standard airbag.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
That's a good replacement. Is there a universal airbag-steering wheel? I've no interest in ricer-boy Momo steering, but this thing looks good to hold.
Aik why P1 dont have the gear shifters?
looks like waja steering wheel !
gemballa kambeng…
hahaha!!….
yup, like waja's steering whel indeed, except waja's lack the paddle shift. if available, i wont mind spending money adding it to my waja steering wheel…
I also though it was a waja steering wheel at 1st glance until i notice the 2 "stick" bhind the wheel. Looks heavy n firm!
Gembala kerbau ke ni?

Paddle shift for a 4 speed auto, I don't think so…just wait for the replacement model, if come with cvt or 5/6 speed, then I also want it.
lets us hope waja replacement have
this features
:)
not to forget, waja actually copied design/parts from few cars…including porsche (the dashboard design)…

dear elpaciko,
this is what i meant…see the similarity of the dashboard especially the silver lining?
even the door handle is similar too. probably it's porsche that actually took waja's design…who knows…

come on la.. a door handle is a door handle.. no one owns the patent on door handles.. this is such a pointless argument. how many different ways can someone design a door handle? honestly, there really is no such thing as 100% originality in design. everyone starts to look the same if you look at the details.
the stering's good, only the name 'gemballa' sounds funny hehe…
in my opinion having a semi automatic transmission is a pain in the ass. Not like the aston where you have an auto mode. But like the maserati, it doesn't have a clutch, and thus u just roll back when ur in reverse. Who here agrees with me.
