Thanks! I'll do some research if that is available here in Switzerland.

Thank you

No I didn't make the final choice on my interior yet, but I signed my order to get a special introduction offer that my dealer has this month. So no finalized order yet.
I first want to go discuss the various options they can offer for a Leather to Sample interior in a black with a tan/saddle like interior. I prefer the Ascot brown at this moment (from the CGT), but I don't know if they can make that work (problem may be the plastic parts such as speaker mesh etc.)
Problem is that I can't get an appointment at Zuffenhausen before we go on a 4-week family visit to the U.S. at the end of next week. So that will be the first thing to do after that trip.
It doesn't make much difference, because of the PTS color. Delivery will be somewhere around may next year. (Hopefully a little bit sooner, but that is wishful thinking I guess)

This is what I was thinking of for the interior:

Congratz on your order~ A question sprang to mind about your PTS onyx white. If you scratch the body (on a curb/post), is it hard to get it fixed/repainted because the paint is so custom?

Worst case would be suddenly not having the pearly effect on some part of the car...

I don't know to be honest, but I assume that a good bodyshop can fix it when it's needed. It's a VW color and they are selling Beetles and Golfs in that color, so I don't see a big problem there. I wasn't planning to hit something anyways

That carerra red picture looks like a dark red. Maybe maroon or burgendy. Can people who have an actual car with carerra red post a picture of the entire interior? The last picture I saw had it as bright as the rendering on the porsche website.

Are you talking about the picture I posted? That's not Carrera Red. It was originally carrera red, but I photoshopped it to Ascott brown... Not burgundy. There's no red hue in it. If so, you should recalibtrate your monitor

Here's the original picture of the Porsche website that I photoshopped.

No I am talking about the picture on the 2nd page where it is just the upper end of the dash below the windshield and has the picture of that wrecked car too.

Ahhh OK. That is not Carrera Red, but Terracotta, a color that was available on the 996 and 997 if I am correct.

But terracotta is more orange than red. Well anyways I liked that color. Should have stayed. I think Jay leno's CGT interior is the same color.

I also like that color very much, but I doubt that it is Boxster red.

Here's Boxster red, which looks a lot brighter

This is Chestnut brown and probably the color I'm going for if they can make the plastic parts like speakergrills and doorbins in this color. Normally they are black with leather to sample, but I don't want that.

I actually think that the interior in that Corvette is very close to cinnamon brown, but it is sometimes hard to tell, because of the different pictures and lighting.
These all are Cinnamon brown:

I am very excited for you about this car Suzy. Very jealous that you have a Turbo S!
