Default Has 'Agate/Pebble Grey' two-tone leather interior been dropped from the Configurator?

I just noticed that two tone 'Agate/Pebble Grey' is no longer an option on the US configurator for the 991 or 981. Anyone has further news on this development?

Saludos,

Funny. My 2014 is in amaranth red, no longer available in the US, with the dual pebble/agate also NLA. I sure can pick 'em!

Semi related, I saw a gray 991 cab with that two tone interior in my dealer's showroom last week. It's very stunning looking although those almost white seats would be tough to keep clean.

I saw a couple of cabriolets at Sonnen (Sapphire blue & GT Silver) with the black/platinum gray interiors, it took only one glance to convince me that is
the interior to go for on a cabriolet!

it is beautiful in a show car way , in person, but I suspect it has garnered a low order rate due to needed upkeep for what most perceive to be an almost white-colored seating surface

how much fun is a car like this if an owner has to fret about wearing blue jeans while driving it on weekends ?

That's the combo in my C2. I stayed away from the lighter leather as I could not see how I would keep it clean.

For what it's worth, I'm a huge fan of your color combination. Rich, unique, and highly flattering to the 911 body shape.

I think its the right choice especially for either a cabriolet or targa ... where black could get very hot in the sun... looks very stylish I plan on the Sapphire
Blue + Black/Platinum

It's not the off-white "pebble gray" seats that are particularly hard to keep clean, it's the ridiculous off-white carpets!

Me too - I've got Aqua + pebble/agate. Maybe the combo is rare and the values will climb...

That is why 'Porsche Exclusive' allows you to choose '24951 Carpet in Deviated Standard Color' for US$710.00. Any 'Agate/Pebble Grey' combo with 'Agate' color carpet would look terrific! Same for all other two tone interiors - pick the darker carpet color and enjoy the contrast (...& practicality) for just $710!

i haven't had any trouble keeping my pebble grey seats clean despite rainy weather, kids kicking the back seat, and *gulp* drippy coffee mugs. but clearly the a priori concerns have won out. it'll come back around every 20 years, like the linen interiors of the 80s and early 90s. it sure is nice to have on a bright summer day with the top down.

Drippy coffee mugs at the epicenter of the coffee universe...Seattle? Don't tell anyone or they'll escort you out to the city limits! And they'll never let you back in Magnolia!
