Porsche skinny steering wheels?

[moonstone]

One complaint I’ve got about the new car is how skinny the steering wheel is. BMW M cars have wheels that are just a bit too thick. That’s their thing so do Porsche do the opposite for some reason?

My TTS has one of the best steering wheels I’ve ever come across and it’s exactly the right thickness.

Now given that the wheel in my Taycan is used across all current Porsches in their line up, has it always been this way? Is it some sort of deliberate Porsche philosophy? Why so skinny?

I too think the TT steering wheel is lovely. Not had a Porsche for a while so forgotten what they are like!

BMW wheels especially refurbed ones are to thick, they look nice but not nice to hold and drive.

Agree on the BMW ones. I bought a standard BMW leather wheel when looking for parts to do my M5 wheel up and it was much thinner and much nicer as a result. The Porsche one is the first I've ever had where it could be doing with being beefed up a bit.

Not sure this is an exact colour match?
