Thanks again for all your help. I agree with you that since I am custom ordering, I'd like to go with something a little unusually. And my wife is now being convinced (by me ) that 2 tone is a good option.

We are contemplating the black/terra combo but does a black/nat. brown even exist? Also, for a black/terra interior, which part is black and which one is terra? We'd actually prefer more black and less terra.

Thanks again for your help.

You should really go up to the Porsche WEB site where you can see somewhat of what the color combos look like by configuring your own car. I really don't think Terracotta is going to look good with brown - it is a little too "special".

The Black/Other is mainly nice since you get a black dash - no glare from it on the windshield - that's the main thing I don't like about my interior color - dash glare requiring polarized sunglasses.

Natural Brown will look much better that Terra - make sure you see a terra interior - in the flesh - before you do it.

Here are some pics of my black/terracotta,





It's a very nice interior although Natural Brown would be my first choice if I had Macadamia exterior (mine is Meteor Grey). But each to their own, the most important thing is that you like it since its what you will be looking at most of the time.

Yes, I think you may be correct that this is indeed Natural Brown. (I am color blind.) I wonder if a deviating carpet will work out here.

UPDATE: I think it's Natural Brown because if you look at the black car in the rear of the 2nd frame, HE has Terra Cotta and you can tell it's much red'er. (is that a word?)

for macadamia, I would suggest either sand with maybe deviated dark brown stitching everywhere, or cocoa with macadamia center console, and one last option, not sure if its possible cocoa/sand two tone

Hmmm, I'd take it back. It is indeed a Terracotta. Got a screen capture of it from the Porsche video but don't know how to post it.

I have to disagree with most, Macadamia and Terracotta would be beatutiful combo. I want to get a GTS in ths combo. Make sure all is terracotta, you dont want black mats or carpet.

Growing up my father had a 1979 930 turbo in Copper and Can-Can Red (similar to terracotta). This car turned heads and is one I wish he would have passed down the line, in fact I still search for it to buy it back.

Natural Brown or Cocoa would be the only other options and would be a distant 2nd.

Sand beige...would give you a nice grandpa car look, and kill resale!

Whats confusing....we are buying sports cars. How many guys want a Brown and Beige Porsche....not too many.

Find me one that a dealer spec`d this way(which I doubt you can find) and I bet you can get a deep discount on it, as its a great combo for a Cadillac.

Had I had the choice of color when I purchased the car it most certainly would have been the nut but until this moment I never gave a thought to the interior color...
Great question.. Natural brown???? definitely leather... Not sure terra cotta would work..

I suppose this S doesn't cut it in your book.. Personally, I find it remarkably classy... yes, it's Macadamia Brown and Sand Beige...

I almost bought this car earlier this year, but I hesitated and the dealer sold it before I could pull the trigger..



So I bought this one.. I'll bet you don't like it, either..




Thankfully, we all don't like the same things in life, otherwise, this would be a boring place to hang out..

NC997... You have a great car, enjoy it. I think the macadamia color is unique and fresh, and I would pair it with terracotta. I stand by my resale value comments, sorry if you were offended.
