Christian S. Thanks for the photos of your truffle brown interior and thanks for editing the photo to be more realistic. The camera on the iPhones
are very good but they do tend to light up the image. Pretty impressive looking! I must say, it looks really good with night blue. Sure does make the interior
more inviting then black interior... So hard to know if it will work with the light grey reflection of Chalk.

This is an accurate color- just like the one I sat in- as opposed to the others posted and to the rendering in the configurator. Looks great to me and has nice supple feel too.

I would never buy this interior color based on the configurator but seeing it better in a video... I love it.

Is the supple feeling substantially different from the leather used in full leather interiors? Like to justify the additional cost in your opinion?

I'm biased, but Bordeaux/Black would look great with Chalk.

I’d go with Bordeaux/black if you want to select something out of your comfort zone. Have you considered slate grey or state grey/chalk?

I do like the slate grey/chalk... I like a lighter interior and I like it against the chalk paint.
Do you think it would be too much grey???

Someone recently posted a pic of their car that was exactly this combo. Take a look around for it. It looked really great. Much better than I thought it would. I real world contender imo.

I really didn't do a back to back test of the leather. It certainly felt at least as good as the black full leather in my 2012.5 991C2S, which is perfect with the Platinum Silver that was the "cheap" silver metallic at the launch. It is not Italian supercar soft, more Teutonic, but plenty sweet for the money. If I can get myself to part with what I have, it will be for a 992 with a Truffle interior.

I tend to hold on to cars for a while and consider cost to be divisible by a combination of number of smiles and miles the car provides over its time of ownership. In my experience they depreciate at roughly the same rate no matter how you convince yourself of desirability of particular options. Overall condition seems to be the key variable to real purchasers when you go to sell. After a while I laugh thinking about having worried about a couple $K more or less on a car like a 911. So if you have the choice get what puts the smile on your face and don't look back- life is always gaining on you!

why not go with one of the two tone options? that is different, but nothing crazy. iam with limegreen on the truffle. just not an appealing color to me, although it is a color I would consider if I did the metallic green exterior. I don't really think truffle pairs well with chalk.
