Has anyone asked regarding Steering Wheel in Alcantara?
I notice the option is available for Cayenne, Panamera, Boxster and Cayman.
but not listed online for the Carrera..
i assume they all use interchangeable wheels but curious if the 911 can be ordered w/ alcantara wheel (normal 911, not GT3)... is the option available but just not on config?
thank you.

to option on the config it's $290-450 depending on the vehicle.(but not listed for 991 in config). and multifunction is free/included with the cayenne/991..
also curious why one must "add" multi function to the wheel, in 997.2 days they realized you could just reuse your piece and sold just the multifunction for those wanting it. or just the wheel.. making it much cheaper to retrofit.

not sure where to go, i really enjoyed the 991... it's always been on back of mind to get another... i really enjoy the GT3 horsepower rating but wish the exterior was a little more radical (looks very close to the aero package for 991 carrera)
too many decisions, but the 991 chassis is my favorite of any vehicle recently driven (not including 458)

i really liked the 997.2 RS wing and how you could swap the uprights to adjust height/angle.. also the design was very "minimalist"... the new wing is sexy and similar to non RS 997 GT3.. but i guess i wish more radical.. but then again they are trying to appeal to the masses.
the front/rear scoops in the bumpers at top i feel could be more exotic as well.. those are always my favorite part of the GT models along with the sexy center exhaust.
some sharkwerx pipes and such would really jazz up the vehicle.

Asked about it prior to finalising my order. It wasn't available at the time (October 2012) but they advised against it on cosmetic grounds. Thought there was nothing else to tie in with it!

Ok here goes...
This subject is very sensitive for me because I have my car on order with Alcantara gear ***. I find it crazy that you wouldn't have an Alcantara steering wheel option in the configurator. So I thought I should be able to order it on Suncoast or the such but its not necessarily true. If you want the regular steering wheel in Alcantara they have that option. For those of you that have looked they use to have the option in Sport Design steering wheel but after my enquiry they have since removed, not their fault - good guys. The problem is that Porsche has not released a steering wheel with the correct model part number, so you are not guaranteed that it will fit and it is ordered from Germany, so no returns. $2k mistake, I cannot justify...
So what am I going to do to get a Sport Design steering wheel with Alcantara and I really want it to be the Sport Design steering wheel and not one of those other option steering wheels out there. The only option that is open to me is to use guys like Exclusive Option to take my actual steering wheel and replace the leather for Alcantara. That means I cannot actually get in my car for a week because it will not have a steering wheel. This again is turning into a logistical nightmare... I am trying to figure out to get a donor steering wheel to at least have a car.
It turns out the perfect interior for me is on the new GT3 with red stitching. And no, I am not going to buy one. I have waited long enough for my C4S.
Oh joy!!! I am sure there are more twists and turns...
If anyone has any viable options, I am all ears.
