The interior on this particular car was very nice.
Included one of the Sport Classic for comparison

I love how Porsche can make some changes and they simply improve upon what is there. I can't wait to see the 991.2 cars! I understand their Guards Red facelift cars will be something like this:

Thanks. This is the Agate Grey and the interior should be Carrera Red. I placed an order for the Agate Grey with Espresso and want to look for some pictures before the deadline.

Thanks for posting these. Very nice looking cars. Even the "dinner fork" wheels look good. And the chrome trim around the anthracite brown one is nice too. Hmmm... I must be converting.

Here's another shot of the grey car
And the silver one outside

Awesome pics. I am loving the 991. For me, tough choice between the Carrera S rim and the Sport Design rim, leaning towards the CS because the Sport Design looks a bit too much like an Audi S-line rim to me. I don't like the new Carrera Classic rim at all. Between the CS and SD rims, which do you guys prefer? Also, any more pics of the darker colored cars? What was the interior color of the black one? Thanks again.

First 991 I've seen with a center radiator - anyone know what option this one might have?
(Not that I really think it's a good idea since it is a incredibly vulnerable location - at least it appears the grill opening for the side radiators are wider for easier cleaning access!)
EDIT: Copied from another post:
It seem that the grey with the carrera red leather interior is a hit. The journalists driving these 991 cars are showing up in other threads like the Excellence article by Pete Stout. They are driving in the roads around Santa Barbara, Santa Maria; even Michael Jackson looking from above his Neverland ranch is liking it. There is even a 7 speed manual in the bunch that locks out 7th gear from a 4th to 7th upshift misadventure.
Perhaps that's this car and the manual gearboxes get an aux cooler?

It's my understanding that the mix of cars in Santa Barbara is roughly 50-50 manuals and PDK. Also, there may be some inconsistencies to whether there is a radiator in the center slot on the PDK cars. Some appear to have them, and some do not! (From our inside man!)
