I just traded in a Turbo S with the black/beige leather interior (it was "luxor beige" in 2019). Loved the two tone and the combination looks classy. Broke it up a bit with black deviated seat centers and liked that look a lot and also reduced some of the concern about getting dingy. Liked the combo well enough to go similar in a new Targa with slate grey/chalk with slate grey inserts.
I like the blue with the slate ALOT! As I read stuff below from 2019, people bring up a good point about blue jean transfer on light seats. That is making me sway to black interior with the red gauges and red belts. I hate a light interior that looks dingy. We don't put many miles on special cars but we wear a lot of blue jeans!
For me after the novelty wears away, which in my case doesn’t take long, I’m more concerned with how they look over time. I think you’d be smart to go black and jazz it up with red touches.
Just had a buddy take delivery of a Chalk w/Sport-Tex and the "free" contrast stitching and it is stunning. Not too much stitching, but just enough here and there to accent very nicely with the ST. So, if not going with a bolder interior color, but want to avoid all black, take a look at this option. As for the cost, well, getting chintzy on something you'll see and touch every time you're in the car is . . .
I just put down a deposit for one of two CS Cab allocations for February production. My build is very expensive and will have terrible resale. But I intend on keeping the car for ever.

Need opinions on interior colors! I ordered a Guards Red Carrera S cabriolet MT with sport design package 1 month ago. Won't be here till April 2nd, 2021. Lonnnnnng Wait! Order freezes Jan 8th. I ordered standard interior Mohave Beige/Black with central tach in Guards Red. Didn't want to overdo the red with the already 2 tone beige/Black interior. Now I am looking at changing the interior to standard black leather with red gauges and red belts. My convertible top is black. I need some feedback. I love the Mohave beige/Black and think it looks rich for a standard leather. Saw a 991 with guards red exterior and beige/black interior and it looked pretty awesome. However the standard black with red gauges and red belts is so sporty and matches everything about the car. OTOH I've always had black interiors and just think they are boring. I know they wear the best, hide dirt, etc. But they are also hotter in summer. Anyone have the Mohave beige/Black combo and can comment?
I almost ordered the same, but in the end went with Gentian Blue. Every time I see a red one here makes me think back and forth that maybe I should have gone red.
I did see a cabrio red at the dealership, but it had the Black calipers instead of the red that the S comes with. Looked awesome. So, if it was me to do today, I would go with the black top, black/beige interior (chalk is the other choice I’d look at but the black top and red doesn’t go well with it), black calipers, black letters on the back, no red belts, AND white tach face and clock if you got the sports package. Red is a very IN YOUR FACE COLOR, and anything else in red just throws it over the edge for me making it tackie and vulgar looking. Black wheels would also be awesome BTW......
I really like the standard interior in slate grey.
Do you think the slate grey interior looks good with Guards Red? I also like this interior color option but you don't see it very often with Guards Red. Also do you think the red gauges and red belts look ok with the gray? I've got to decide very soon, my order freezes on Jan 18th. Thanks! Decisions, decisions....

I think that you mentioned the build is a convertible with a MT, right? I’ve seen the black/beige standard interior and it’s quite nice. You could dress it a little with the wood trim. I also think that the vinyl on the top surfaces make good sense for a convertible due to sun and getting caught in rain.
To be honest, my original configuration included black/beige full leather, but when I saw the standard interior in those colors, I didn’t want to pay that much money because the standard interior looked so similar (... and I also wanted to try Sport Tex.)
I don’t think guards red and gray go well at all. Go to your dealer and take the paint and interior samples outside. It’s a good way to help you choose.
Thanks Dan. I appreciate your honesty. Many folks on this list made me feel like I need full leather on a car of this caliper. I'm so torn right now. I also am playing with truffle brown interior for the guards red. Is got black accents, would stay with black convertible top. Not much more expensive than 2 tone leather.

Do not go truffle brown with red, that will look bad (and I love truffle brown). I think you really need to do all beige or all black.
Have you thought about changing the exterior of the car so as to have the interior (two tone) that you like?
I agree, truffle brown is a great interior but a difficult one to combine. In my view, it only works with aventurine green, silver, white and black. Question if it goes with gentian blue (views welcome). I have truffle in my Panamera and love it!
