Race-tex interior
With Porsche doing away with the Alcantara interiors and replacing with "Race-tex," do you think the 2021 992 will have the same interior options the taycan has (you can configure race-tex interior on the configurator). what do you all think of this interior? I couldn't find any real pictures of this but looks nice.

991s also had kind of a hidden option of Alcantara inserts for non-GTS models; it was available only with full black leather interior and 18-ways or folding buckets. With Sport-Tex now available, I don't expect that to ever return on non-GTS cars, though.

the pic looks just like Alcantara to me; there's a lot of haters of Alcantara out there, but the fact remains that the material is more grippy than leather. Durability is a toss-up. If you have a lot of kids with peanut butter hands all over it, you may want to go leather.

That being said - I am getting a little tired of alcantera - have it in a few cars (it was standard). For a DD I would not want it (the cars I have it in are fun cars, not DD's). They are a bit harder to clean, with leather, you just wipe off with some leather cleaner.

Agree Alcantara wears fast, not sure if race-tex is any better or worse tho. I have a nice carbon fiber steering wheel on my Panamera that actually has CF on the steering wheel, I just dont like how they used it on the 992s.
Would be cool to get some GTS interior styling without having to wait for a GTS.
