The modern Porsche 992 is, without question, a masterpiece of engineering. Lightning-quick PDK shifts, razor-sharp electronics and a level of refinement that earlier generations could only dream of. But ask any seasoned 911 driver and they'll tell you: somewhere along the road to perfection, the modern shifter lost a piece of its soul. The factory PDK selector feels more like a smartphone toggle than a mechanical interface. And that's exactly the gap Nine Eleven Outlaw set out to fill.
A Tribute to the Legendary 917
The Tribute Shifter isn't just another aftermarket upgrade, it's a love letter to one of the most iconic race cars ever built: the Porsche 917. Designed and handcrafted in a small workshop in Graz, Austria, the shifter draws its visual language directly from the wood-topped gear knobs that defined Porsche's golden era of endurance racing in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
What you get is a piece that looks like it belongs on a podium at Le Mans, yet bolts seamlessly onto your modern 992 PDK.
Built by Hand, Engineered Like a Watch
Joel Kernasenko, the man behind Nine Eleven Outlaw, took years to perfect this single component. Every Tribute Shifter is machined to tight tolerances, finished by hand and assembled with the kind of obsessive attention to detail you'd expect from a Swiss watchmaker rather than an auto parts manufacturer.
The materials speak for themselves. A solid metal core gives the shifter its satisfying weight and mechanical honesty, while the wooden top adds warmth, literally and visually to your interior. Wood ages, develops patina and tells a story over the years. Plastic just gets old.
Why It Transforms the 992 Driving Experience
Drop into the seat of a 992 fitted with a Nine Eleven Outlaw Tribute Shifter and the first thing you notice is the temperature. Wood is warm to the touch on cold mornings and stays cool in summer. Then comes the heft. Every flick into manual mode, every tap up or down through the paddles' counterpart on the centre console, feels deliberate. Tactile. Considered.
It's the kind of upgrade that doesn't shout. It whispers to you, every time you reach for it.
Plug-and-Play Installation
Despite the bespoke nature of the product, installation is refreshingly straightforward. The Tribute Shifter is designed as a direct replacement for the factory PDK selector on the 992, requiring no cutting, no wiring modifications and no specialist tools. Most owners have it installed within minutes, and Joel himself is famously available to answer any questions during the process.
More Than a Part - A Statement
In a world where new cars increasingly feel the same, the Nine Eleven Outlaw Tribute Shifter is a small but powerful act of personalization. It connects your modern 992 to nearly six decades of Porsche racing heritage. It rewards the senses. And it tells anyone who steps into your car that you care about the details.
