I was just at Princeton Porsche this morning.

That color combo on it is a bit much and 2 people said the same exact thing while looking at the car.

Very blue

What did you think of the blue top? Assuming you saw it up. I'm going with Sapphire Blue / Black Leather Interior myself, but a blue top.

My wife argues that it looks like faded black, but I'd like less contrast with the body while the top is up. So the top feels like part of the car, like a coupe, rather than a separate part glued on to the top.

It's hard to coordinate different blues...that's why the exterior and interior blues on the Princeton car look awful together. You have to see the blue top and sapphire for yourself and decide.

Thanks for posting. I like the sapphire and am trying to come up with what interior combo I like. Have a couple more weeks to lock in the options on my order. Glad to see an actual pic of this instead of just the configurator.

I like the blue interior with red deviated stitching, red gauges and belts.
Also like the blue/chalk interior with deviated leather in the center of the seat in blue plus white gauges.
Also like the black/ beige interior with the sport chrono clock in beige and the other dials in black.
Whichever one I get I am going to get the leather package to match that covers the areas with the aluminum on the dash and center section perimeter.


Never had so much trouble deciding on a configuration! Trying to do something unique. I have a design consultation at PEC Atlanta tomorrow. I am excited to go through that process, see everything in person again and lock in a final design.

I would go with the chalk, blue. You have to get some white or lite color in there to make a contrast
I would go with extra chalk leather pieces

Porsche of Norwell has a sapphire blue GTS with yachting blue interior and I think it looks fantastic. Dark enough to contrast nicely with the sapphire but not so dark where it'll be mistaken for black.

That is probably my leading candidate. Looking forward to seeing samples in person again tomorrow.

Here is the code for the one I configured like that:

I like that but that interior color is no longer offered I guess or it is leather to sample which I am not willing to pay for.

Ah, didn't realize that. I don't think yachting blue generally got much love but I was always a big fan. I think chalk would look great too.

Saphire Blue is quite a "flashy" colour, so I would go for something subdued in the interior like black, but make it pop with contrast stitching and belts/ dials. You could do black interior with chalk belts and stitching, or black and get yellow dials, belts and stitching, and for even more add carbon ceramic breaks with yellow callipers (or get standard callipers painted yellow). A colour leather interior would contrast with the sapphire blue too much, imho.
