Bad Neustadt an der Saale, Germany. It was the big surprise of this year’s Geneva Motor Show: the Porsche 918 Spyder, a high-performance mid-engine sports car featuring a hybrid powertrain. The Porsche prototype was one of the best-kept secrets at the Geneva show. Now we can finally get a first look at some of the engineering details. The concept car utilizes an innovative interior control system, whose center console was implemented in cooperation with Preh GmbH in Bad Neustadt, Germany. The control system was custom-designed for the car and had to meet the strictest performance requirements for design and functionality.
For example, the climate control system or multimedia functions can be controlled from the “control center” in the center console. The Preh system has a high-gloss black-panel-effect control surface, a touchscreen display, and two retractable push/turn controls.
