I think that black/red with deviating black carpet is the best interior Porsche has ever made. With ventilated seats of course! Good luck. Have fun.

Black & platinum or black & red or Espresso/Cognac all great choices
Ventilated seats.
Headlights in Black is a fantastic look.

I have a white exterior. If I could reconfigure today, I'd definitely go Black/Red. Not an eyesore like all red, but it pops. That picture shows black carpet which is perfect. The US configurator shows the carpet as red only (which may get dirty).

Would definitely go with a red interior, goes very well with white/black/silver exteriors. I have a silver exterior and all red interior. All red looks is a bit aggressive but the car catches an incredible number of compliments from strangers on the perfect color combo. It really is a great look and would go well with white exterior as well.

Would also suggest to add a soundsystem, the fully electric seats and heated/ventilated seats. The porsche sound is probably ok, but if you spend a lot of time in the car, you may enjoy the better sound of a higher quality system. As for the seats, why not spend a bit on luxury.....(i use ventilation and the auto entry function of the electric seats everytime i drive the car)

Congrats! The build is just the beginning of the fun!
I'll add my vote for the Espresso/Cognac interior - one of the best combinations I have seen in a 911; and add the seat ventillation for goodness sake - I am surprised it isn't standard on all ME vehicles (LOL)!
Save a little, skip the Power Steering Plus - completely unnecessary IMHO.

+1 I am really glad I skiped Power Steering Plus, I like the steering as it is. If I could reconfigurate, I would also skip Aluminum Pedals and the Sunroof. But I really like the LED Headlights.

Okay, start the anti-wood trim flames!
Wood trim options would fit on luxury cars, maybe Panamera Executive models. But not on sport cars I guess.

Btw, you did not mean something like this, did you?

Thank you all for your excellent feedbacks.
I have decided to go for black/red interior. Today my wife and I visited the local dealer to check out the Expresso/Cognac sample. I really like the combo color and I was going to have it for my new white c2s. However while we were at the showroom, my wife saw the Black/Red interior on a 911 turbo and she *told* me to forget about the Expresso/Cognac! ... I said "sure no problem"!

The wife is always right.



And yes one more option I am adding as the wife likes the LED headlights with PDLS+ which the turbo (in the showroom display) is equipped with.
