Just seen this and seriously considering this combo over my original choice of crayon/chalk with the red interior. It’s a brave choice - blue with red interior, but wow it really works for me!

I’m special ordering a 911 once so I’m getting what I want. Photos don’t accurately show the colors, particularly the Bordeaux, it’s much more deep and subtle than the photos present.

There’s no bravery involved. I went to the local dealer and looked at samples of Bordeaux and really liked it. When my first exterior choice became unavailable (Miami blue), l pondered a number of the “standard” colors but none really spoke to me so I worked with the SA on custom color choices. Decided on Oslo, actually liking it quite a bit more than MB after all. To me the car is that much more special due both to the process and the fairly unusual color combination. From my first interactions with the configurator years ago, with previous generation 911, I pretty much knew if I ever ordered a car it would have a red interior.

356–Thank you!

i totally agree on the Bordeaux Red, seen it several times in cars and has to be on my car. It’s just matching to exterior colour that’s a challenge for me. But now I’ve seen yours I think it’s beating my initial choice of crayon/chalk. I had an E46 M3 - dark blue with red interior, it was slightly below normal pricing as the dealer said it was an odd combo that wouldn’t sell well - I loved it, and everyone who saw it loved it too. It was very easy to sell on several years later.
