Unhappy 991 Best interior color for Basalt Black?

Hi guys,

I still cannot decide b/w CS now and C4S later. I really don't need AWD but like widebody. I'm so excited as this would be my second 911 in a long time since my first 993 in 1996, which I drove it for only one year.

I have decided that my choice of color would be Basalt Black, but cannot decide on interior color. I always had black/black in all my previous cars.

What are your favorite interior colors for Basalt Black exterior?

I'm thinking about Black (as usual), Luxor beige, or Expresso. I wish they offer Black/Biege or Black/Expresso combo, but they don't.

Thanks.

Luxor Beige and Basalt Black work great with each other. See attached picture.

Unless I am missing something it looks like they are both the same width in the 991?

From the configurator: Base Cab versus Cab 4S

Width 71.2 in. (w/out mirrors) 71.18 in

I would go Luxor beige for Basalt black but upkeep will be challenging. If you don't use polarized glasses you might want to have your dashboard in black and rest of the interior in Luxor to avoid reflection of a lighter colored dash on the windshield at certain times of the day.

Two tone black and platinum gray - best of both worlds.

Could a black dash be ordered with the beige interior as a custom order? I liked the 997 two tone black/beige.

My dealer told me that 991 4S will likely have wider body as previous 997. I guess still not official, but I hope so.

I like black leather with red stitching as well. Can we order that from the dealer? Please advise. Thanks
