Description
CT Carbon Porsche Magnetic Carbon Fibre Shifter Paddles (CT5197)
These are CT Carbon's magnetic carbon fibre shifter paddles for Porsche models built from 2017 onward, part number CT5197. They are made from genuine pre-preg carbon fibre and use a magnetic click mechanism to replace the factory PDK paddles with a lighter, more direct feeling shift point.
The paddles come with two interchangeable sizes in the box, so drivers can set up the paddle length and feel that suits them best. They are built for daily drivers and track cars alike who want a sharper, more tactile shift action without changing how the PDK system operates.

Does it fit the Porsche 992 GT3?
Yes. These paddles are made for the 992 generation 911, including the 992 GT3, alongside the 992 Carrera, Carrera S, Carrera T, Targa, Targa S and GTS. The magnetic click mechanism bolts on in place of the factory paddle without any modification to the PDK gearbox or wiring.
Does it fit the Macan and Cayenne too?
Yes. CT Carbon built this paddle set for the wider 2017 onward Porsche PDK range, which covers the 2021 to 2025 Macan (95B.2) and the 2017 to 2024 Cayenne (PO536), as well as the 911, Cayman and Boxster ranges from the same era. One paddle set, one part number, across the whole compatible range.
What does the magnetic click mechanism actually change?
The paddles attach magnetically instead of using the stock plastic clip, giving a firmer, more mechanical click every time a gear is selected. Combined with the carbon fibre construction, it reduces paddle weight versus the standard plastic units and sharpens the tactile feedback under hard driving.
Why two interchangeable sizes?
Every driver's hand position and preferred paddle reach behind the wheel is different. CT Carbon includes two paddle lengths in the box so the set can be tailored to reach comfortably at the driving position, rather than forcing one fixed size on every owner.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this paddle set fit my Porsche if it is a 2016 model?
No. CT Carbon states this paddle set fits Porsche 911, Cayman, Boxster, Cayenne and Macan models from 2017 onward. Earlier model years use a different paddle mount.
Is this a genuine carbon fibre product or a carbon wrap?
It is genuine pre-preg carbon fibre, not a vinyl wrap or carbon-effect plastic.
Will fitting this affect my Porsche's factory warranty?
CT Carbon notes that the impact on a manufacturer warranty can vary, so it is worth checking directly with your dealership before fitting.
Does fitting require any wiring or PDK software changes?
No. The magnetic paddles bolt on in place of the factory paddles and do not require any changes to the PDK software or wiring.
What is included in the box?
Two interchangeable carbon fibre paddle sizes and the magnetic mounting hardware needed to fit them.
