While spending some at the Porsche site putting together one of my many dream cars on their "configurator", I punched in the "Two Tone" option and found that it was configured very similarily to the black/cashmere interior- black dash, wheel and door sills with cashmere mostly everywhere else. It got me to thinking that I'd never seen a 993's "cashmere" interior be anything BUT two-tone, but all other color interior seemed to be mostly a single tone. (i.e., grey interiors have a grey dash/sills/wheel, blue has a blue dash/sills/wheel, etc.) The de-coder indicates "Z65" might be a two-tone code, but my option sticker doesn't show that code. Was two-tone an option for 993's?

Just curious...

not sure if there was an option code for it, but I know many 993s came with two tone interiors. I love mine!

 

I don't know if it was an option, but in the options area of the window sticker for my car (which has a two-tone interior) it says:

"Grey/Midnight partial leather"

 

My interior is Cashmere, but has the black dash and steering wheel too. I am just about to change to a black leather center console and already have black mats, but I want black carpeting. I have seen cashmere steering wheels for sale, but I think they were from a 996, not sure. I would think that a cashmere dash would produce too much glare. I don't know if this is factory or not, but here is a picture of a two tone interior complete with cashmere instrument rings . . .

 

I saw a silver C4s that had a chestnut/gray two tone interior. It was the nicest interior I had ever seen. Maybe because I'm a Buckeye fan. The car was for sale at Holt's.

 

My interior was all marble grey with black dash. I've since made it more two-tone with black seats, Rs shifter and handbrake and black center console frame. Looks fantastic now.

 

Nice idea with the console - not sure I'd change the dash though. You have the same intererior as my black car.

 

Not sure about "standard" options, but you could order your 993 in any custom color configuration your wallet desired from the factory.

 

I've seen cars w/ two-tone leather, meaning different seatbacks and bolsters.

 

I really like my cashmere interior with the rings too, but am happy that the dash and wheel are black. Kinda two-tone I guess.

 

The option was called deviating carpet, option code Z100.

 

I don't have any "Z" codes on my options sticker at all. "Deviated carpet" is for the black dash, black knee pad, black door sills and black wheel? My carpet, headliner, seats and door panels are cashmere, so I can't figure out how "deviated carpet" would have meant black trim. Then again, I can't make sense of a lot of the things on the options list!

Maybe the original customer just starts listing the colors they want various interior pieces and it only showed up on a build sheet and no option code?

 

My window sticker has the option listed as "deviating carpet, standard colors"
and here's a pic. I liked the look and it's uniqueness was a factor in my
purchase decision.

 

I think that is listed as deviating carpet because the carpet is different from the seats and doorpanels. For cars without such a light interior (that is a very attractive interior, by the way), the dash and knee strip, steering wheel, door panels, center console, seats, and carpet are all the same color. With those very light colors though, the dash and knee strip and steering wheel seem to always be a dark color (mostly I've seen black, but I'm pretty sure I've seen the marble grey with a blue dash).

 

This is the look I am after, except in Cashmere instead of Grey, and I also want a Black center console. It looks great!
