Alcantara for sure for me
There are ways/products you can use to treat the Alcantara to make it last longer ( eventually you will have to change it though)
The feel of it beats leather by a mile in my opinion. just suits the GT3 car so much making it feel even more like a race car.
All my cars have always been with leather steering wheels before this GT3. ill make sure to tick the Alcantara option from here on out.
cheers

I had alcantara on my .2 GT3 and really liked the feel. Did not have an issue with getting it grubby. As Arth states, there are ways of keeping it clean.

I have alcantara on my .2 gt3, and I think it is important to the feel and look of this particular model...just my $.02. Also, I am leaning toward carbon inside the car. I don't have that on my current gt3, and typically I am not into it. But I find the aluminum standard trim on the 991 much brighter/shinier then my standard trim on the .2 gt3. I feel that carbon will darken it up in there a bit and give a more serious tone....

this time I am getting Anthracite Aluminum Trim (def. darker), which covers the dash, doors and center console piece around the PDK lever; only $325.
other very desirable option for me was to add leather trim in the aforementioned places. really darkens but believe there is still enough contrast. $ goes up of course.
the extra leather in addition to Full Leather really adds a rich look without taking way from the sporting nature of the car.

Next time I am definitely going Alcantara.
Frayed, if you want leather let me know. We can swap.

not fond of the bright aluminum trim either. my .2 3 had that as well.

Try looking under Options / Aluminum on the configurator.
Here's a pic of anthracite aluminum trim.
Anthracite aluminum trim - not mine.

I like that anthracite...I will need to go try to find some in person to see... we will have to agree to disagree that the carbon fiber is shinier/brighter than the previous aluminum...

Really like the look feel of Alcantara and wouldn't take leather option on gt3. A packet of hand wipes/freshner towels is nice in car anyway and helps on those occasions if hands unclean making sure s/wheel stays in best condition.
Sorry for off topic but talking interior trim, I've ticked painted in exterior colour which is GT Silver. Anyone help with photos of it?

Someone said here that the alcantara steering wheel is the complete GFE experience. If you don't like it, you can upgrade it to a 918 style steering wheel that would probably be available with the 992 GT3.

damn, i like the cup holder trim in that anthracite.
I can't really tell the difference from regular vs anthracite on the center console. Does it extend to wrap around the PCM screen, or does it just run down the silver trim around the gearshift to the arm rest/storage area?
