I did a search, but was unable to find any pics but lots of conversation about it. Its getting time to finalize my order and I want to make sure I have considered everything before I can't make any changes.

Ceck out RallyDog's thread nearby for pics of his.

RallyDog's interior is Umber, not Espresso. Are they the same?

chuckbdc

Did not know that, and don't know that either! Try the PTS thread nearby - there is one in the Aetna Blue car according to the posts there.

hi, there are some on our Flikr set but they are kinda spread out and I need to make a set of interior pics..might be helpful (or not)

DrJay

I saw your pics Nicoli, your car is gorgeous. In your opinion, are the pictures an accurate representation of the color in real life? How does the natural leather feel versus the full leather interior?

Nicoli35

Good morning - this is the first car with any leather option I've driven from Porsche - I'm one to only order performance options but found this on the lot and she stole our hearts, the interior really had a lot to do with it- it was a luxury I wouldn't have ordered, but really once in the cockpit, had to have. The pics do not do the car any justice - it's much nicer in person. Really

Good luck and you can't go wrong with whatever you decide imo

I know you asked Nicoli but here is my 2 cents -naturals are manufactured using a different dye process that makes them feel a bit more luxorious to the hand, reinforced by colors are "richer" in tone.

Thanks Chuck, all I can do is offer bad quality pics as its the only one we've owned. Really have grown very attached to the car, it is different from what I'm used to, and it feels very special inside.

(two more from today, first bit of snow in our little seaside town hehe)

Noticed you took the call phone out- wouldnt want to get that wet, whew. (Can't wait to see the commentary to follow!)

If you like Brown then go with Brown Special , Espresso is more purple
and dark ,not so "live"

Z356 has a great thread with lots of info on the difference between the leathers. Chuck is right, the Naturals Espresso and Carrera Red not only look better but feel and even smell better. Its because only those two use the natural top grain of the hide. The others sand off the top grain and then emboss an artificial grain onto the hide. Some like the very uniform look of the artificially stamped-on grain and some are turned off by the occasional blemishes that might turn up on the Natural hides. But a lot are like Nicoli and Gary (read his comments, he obviously loves his Espresso) and appreciate the luxurious look and feel of Natrual.

I'm also with the OP in wanting to see some really GOOD images! Good interior photography is not easy, but still you would think there'd be more good shots out there....

my photography is particularly lousy I will admit - the colors are off and well, it is from a cell phone, I'm tired of plugging a proper camera into the computer to offload pics, and the iCloud stuff just syncs everything hehe. I put the wet pics in to stir the Holy Rollers of course

Here's a picture of mine. Sorry about the dust marks on the threshold.

Gary, the Porsche gods will smite you for getting your car dirty...

Thanks for the picture.
