My boss just bought a C2S Cocoa car, and it was HEAVILY discounted because of the interior. It sure is unique.

After a lot of years driving sports cars, I'd never have considered a cocoa leather interior. Black only.
..........Short-sighted thinking, at best.
Have the GT Silver / Cocoa now. It's just stunning. Love it every time I open the door.
As far as the sporty component, I'd have it on a silver, white or possibly even a black GTS in a New York second.

Alex, thanks for the compliment (I think). Interesting that your boss would tell you that his car was "HEAVILY" discounted because of the interior he chose and apparently likes. Whatever. So what color combo do you think is super sporty? From your avatar: grey over black, grey over grey?
so I had to provide input to his research. Funny enough, he's also got the bucket seats in Cocoa, similar to yours, just with white exterior.Your car looks great man, it's very very unique, and hence not to everyone's liking. Yup, my car's Grey over black... with Alcantara. Looks great IMO, maybe boring for some but definitely sporty looking even if I miss the bucket seats!

Silver and Cocoa is a great combination. In the current configurator there's now an Expresso Natural Leather that should be quite nice too.

What's not sporty about Cocoa? Classic British roadsters had dark or brown interiors and they were quite sporty... Black is your generic interior... what's sporty about it?

Well, it looks like a sofa and IMO (i.e. In My Opinion) it does NOT look sporty but luxurious. Black is the natural interior color of all race cars, and sure is sporty, specially if it's Alcantara interior (look at GT3, GT2, etc...).
As I said, I think it looks fantastic and very very unique, and if I ordered a Panamera that'd be my #1 interior choice.

LOL, fair enough!

Porsche 918 RSR

The 918 RSR is more espresso than cocoa.
Espresso goes much better with that particle accelerator in the passenger footwell.
Therefore, cocoa is still not sporty.
And the configurator automatically deletes two pistons if you add cocoa to Adias' GT2.
No matter how unique - somewhat, very, extremely, or even otherworldly - you just cannot get around the fact of it's unsportyness.

A couple of years ago I almost bought a GT Silver on Cocoa 997TT with very low miles from a local dealership. But I waited a bit too long and somebody beat me to it. I still regret not jumping on it sooner. It's a truly super color combo, imho. Luxurious? Sporty? Meh. All that mattered to me was that the combo looked great and was a real match together (GT Silver is slightly warm.)
