Show Review: 100% Design 2005

London has recently hosted 100% Design, the city's response to the Milan Furniture Show that currently dominates the product design calendar.

According to an insider, the new 2012 911 will also feature a heavily revised interior, similar to that of the recent Cayenne and Panamera models.
