So I just ordered a 2015 Turbo this morning in Anthracite Brown with Cognac / Espresso interior which I think is a reserved but classy combination. I've seen it in person and it is so handsome it looks like it is dressed to go out to dinner!

My alternate color choice (still may change) is Guard's Red which is bright, racy and demands attention, a total opposite. Part of my problem is that I am unsure which interior will look best with red. I'm not a big fan of black, being hot, showing dust and being common. This leaves me with Luxor Beige/ black two tone, Agate Gray or Espresso as choices I would consider.

Anybody have photos of Guard's Red with one of these three different interiors?

I have a guards red on black convertible. I'll post a pic once I figure out how. Black is definitely hot for a convertible but on a coupe it looks great. I thought about red on beige but the Luxor beige is just too light to give it that ferrari look. The ferrari beige interior is darker and more orange. Jeff

How about black/red?

I agree that Luxor Beige is a little light. I prefer what Porsche used to offer
about 10 years ago, I think it was called Natural Brown. I have considered the Espresso Cognac as the cognac seats are closer to Natural Brown, but I already
have this interior in my Turbo Cayenne and want something different.

Black exterior red interior looks sharp, but as you may have heard concerning cars, "Black isn't a color, it's a part time job". I have a short stretch of gravel
to cover and the dust makes black out of the question.

For Guards Red only Black interior looks right, in my opinion. I would dress it up a bit, red stitching and seat belts! That would look fantastic!

If I was going to get a black interior, I agree red would work best.

With the Guards Red exterior I would consider:

Beige
Black/Beige
Black/Guards Red stitching, interior painted and guards red seat belts
Espresso Cognac
Custom Black/Cognac seat inserts with cognac contrast stitch

My 2 cents after building one or two of these.....

I vote Espresso/Cognac. You get the natural leather; the Espresso darkness the dash and the Cognac lightens the rest of the interior. Glass sunroof.
But Brett has me beat on builds by one or two

I don't like brown cars.

A guards red with a black/guards stitched red interior would look phenomenal.

I have a green car though, don't listen to me.

To Brett at Sonnen Porsche. It's nice for a dealer to chime in. Thanks....

I thought of red with cognac/espresso but my dealer did not give it a thumbs up saying they traded back a car because the customer wasn't that happy with the combo. Also I have a white Turbo Cayenne with cognac/espresso (I really like it) so maybe thought I would try something different.

Right now the beige/black is the leading candidate followed by accepting
black but with either red or yellow seat belts (getting PCCB's).

Do you have any pictures of red with cognac/espresso?

Are you saying the dealer gets to approve your options? If so, I would look for another dealer STAT, unless they're helping you pay for it.
I'll bet Brett would "let" you build that combo. It'll look great, red and all.

The black and red two tone interior is awesome in person. I stay away from light interiors, personally. I initially thought black would be too common and boring for me, but I really like Porsche black leather. It is more like a charcoal, and would be great with red deviated stitching and red seat belts.

Espresso Cognac would look hot with a Guards Red TT/S wrapped around it...

I have not a turbo, but a 997.2S, GR over Luxor beige. Love it! It's a common combo for Ferrari, but stands out even in a bunch of Porsches. I'll try & post a pic, once I get on front of a real PC...T

Regarding their report on the cognac/espresso red combo, my dealer does not pick my colors, but I do trust that their opinions or information is sincere.

Narrowing down things to Luxor Beige / black two tone or accenting a
straight black interior with yellow seat belts to match PCCB's.

Thanks for everyone's input.
