Apple, Aston Martin and Porsche have released early mock-ups that showcase bespoke versions of CarPlay tailored specifically for Porsche and Aston Martin vehicles.
Unlike the current generation of CarPlay, which often functions as an add-on feature to a vehicle’s existing infotainment architecture, the upcoming version looks set to play a central role, taking over a significant portion of the digital real estate.
The concept images reveal distinctive designs for both Porsche and Aston Martin models. In Porsche’s mock-up (above), the CarPlay interface features heavily in the central touchscreen display, with individual boxes taking care of navigation, as well as call history.

Additionally, Porsche’s optional front passenger display, which we’ve seen on Taycan and inupcoming PanameraandMacan EV, offers a comprehensive view of weather, calendar, navigation, and audio widgets. Even the driver’s display is cleverly integrated, with Apple taking over Porsche’s iconic circular binnacles for speed and battery status notifications.
Aston Martin’s version, while featuring fewer displays, exhibits a sleek and efficient CarPlay arrangement. Apple’s technology seamlessly integrates into the digital instrumentation, adding an audio tile to the speedo and rev counter.
According toCar and Driver, Aston Martin plans to introduce Apple’s next-gen setup in its upcoming vehicles, such as the DB12 coupe and DB12 Volante, slated to launch in 2024. On the other hand, Porsche has not disclosed a specific timeline for the implementation of the next-gen CarPlay in its vehicles.
