Anyone with the package able to post a few close up pics of the green dials? Updated my order with the dealer, estimated lock is April and delivery this summer (July/August).

Thanks!

thanks for extra pics. the reason i ask is i learned today that while my purchase has no ADM they do require that i buy a “custom” porsche design watch from them.

this isn’t too big a deal to me as i am a watch guy and had actually considered buying one anyway although ultimately doubt i would have as they are at least a little overpriced and i’m already spending a bunch of money on a car.

but anyway you can pick the color of the ring inside the watch dial. the gentian blue with a black dial looks meh so was thinking of trying to go with green instead to be inspired by the car dials. i could just do white or black but i have enough other watches (8) that i don’t really need a bland conservative choice. unless you pay another $700ish for a PTS color which seems ridiculous limited to mamba or python green but i think mamba could work (pair with a cognac leather band)…

Can you design a watch with the heritage dial?

Doesn’t seem like it. They have a few pretty unique watches including versions for the sport classic and targa heritage but seems like you can only buy those if you also bought the car. Us normals who can only afford to spend nearly $200k on a car are limited to the more plain black dials. It would also be cool if you could get the ring partly red to simulate a tach redline but alas this doesn’t seem to be the case either. The green used there in the sport classic watch pictures seemingly isn’t mamba green, if you choose the PTS colors i think there are closer colors with subtle aqua/blue tint to it but spending an extra $700 just for a different shade of green in a small ring on a watch dial i’ll wear a couple times a month isn’t something i could ever justify to myself.

When I first saw the interior I was like wow that's awesome looking (I've been kind of obsessed with fabric inserts since seeing them on GT3 buckets) but the $16k price tag seemed like a non-starter. So I made my build with the black/chalk sport-tex which was still a similar concept in that it had (non alcantara) fabric inserts. I liked this combo but didn't love it as it was a little too all black for my tastes (the chalk stitching and adding chalk seat belts helped some). Then after going through some builds it comes down to about $10k premium over a full two tone leather or black/chalk sport-tex combo in what I'd consider a minimally acceptable build and really "only" about $5k once I added things that would be highly desirable but not absolutely critical to me like something other than the standard interior trim, leather seat backs, and colored tach/chrono.

Open to a discussion about the package in general but also specifically for me (C4S cabriolet used as a sort of daily driver with gentian blue exterior purchased by someone who isn't super cost sensitive but money does still have relevance and at least plans to keep the car for 10 years or so).

Anyone have this or seen it in person? Do we know what the pepita/houndstooth fabric is made from and/or how durable it is? I try my best not to be a slob, but no one will accuse me of babying my cars.





Did you end up specing the Gentian blue cabriolet with the Coqnac Heritage interior? If so can you please share some pics. I'm thinking of going with same color and interior combination on my new build. Thanks in advance

i did but it’s currently sitting at port in Germany with delivery expected mid July. The package is still on the configurator but for a while at least it wasn’t able to be spec’d so would verify with dealer before getting heart set on it. production pic below best i have for now…

I have this interior on a guards red c2 coupe, it is a showstopper. It would look great with the gentian blue.

Very Nice !! You had to show me these pics. (Lol) I almost had myself talked off the ledge about spending $15k for the Heritage interior. I keep going back and forth between the Heritage interior, Chalk/Slate and full Slate Gray. decisions - decisions.

Sometimes I think <GT/S cars are the way to go just for the heritage leather. Stunning.
