New Natural Leather Color
Over time we have watched more and more colors being added to the natural leathers,--so far, gray, brown, Carrera Red, and now Natural Leather Cocoa. It reminds me a lot of the 1981 911 I had with full dark brown leather. I saw one today with it at the dealership,--with contrasting stitching. I had read about it sometime back but finally got to see it in person today.

I have seen the "old" Cocoa interior, and have not been impressed. I am surprised that they did this with Cocoa because it really goes well with only 3 of the exterior colors.... while, cream, and macadamia. Contrary to other opinions, I do not think Cocoa looks good with silver or gray. But that's why there are multiple colors from which to choose, right?

Dan, the configurator lists the Cocoa it as a Special Leather along with Terracotta and not Natural Leather. Maybe they "moved" it from Special to Natural and have not yet updated the configurator?

This was truly "natural leather" cocoa in that is was on the Monroney sticker,--and it's NOT the Cocoa that we're used to seeing (that looks a lot like an old sofa I would expect to see in my lawyer's office...). This stuff doesn't have that look to it,--it's solid in color.

the mottled look is barely noticeable in real life, the look is a deep rich brown leather, like an old chair in a British library, I love it

But a "plain" un-mottled cocoa would be interesting.

not sure cocoa is natural leather
My porsche rep in germany told me that besides the 3 natural leathers ( brown, red, gray) Porsche only has one other that they will special order for the 911....it is called 'chestnut brown'. It is available for the Cayenne and they will use it for the 911. It is a reddish brown; nice color. Porsche also told me that they will do any color in regular leather but only those 4 in natural leather....
BTW I got natural dark gray for my new 997.2. It is great color and the leather is exceptional. Great tones of gray and some dark blue...Very different feel from the standard leather.
Go with natural!
cheers,

The mottled look cocoa is NOT a natural leather, it's painted. the only natural leathers on the list for the 911 are Gray, Brown, Red and the new Cocoa which apparently isn't mottled.

Champion Porsche in FL has an '09 C2S cab in Natural Cocoa Leather on Cream White paint though I can not find pictures yet.
Anyone have a sale connection there? I'd love to see that color combo.
