One of my friends has one of these (meteor gray on full Carrera red leather) and it looks incredibly good. She had ordered the dashboard in black leather though, to avoid too much reflection on the windshield.

A very sincere thank you for some wonderful responses. Full red might end up being my choice. Salesperson at dealership thought that red might be too much!!!! I asked him if he was on this forum and he said no. So I told him that his opinion did not count! He took it fairly well and after I got up off the ground......!

The 2 tone is nice but IMO it can't compare to Carrera Red full leather and a Meteor Grey exterior. If I was ordering a 911, that is how it would have to be.

If you get terracotta, I'd suggest the 2-tone black/terra with deviating carpet on the lower doors and floor. If you like sand beige, I also suggest the 2-tone with deviating carpets. I had a Targa with GT Silver on Stone Gray leather which looked great I thought.
Take your time and look at real examples of the combos you're considering so you have no regrets later.

I agree.... A total sand beige interior will make you thirsty... Mix it up with some black. Black and beige interior is a great combination.

I test drove a Meteor Gray with Sand Beige full leather interior C4S a month ago. I actually liked this color combo a lot. It's all subjective anyway. But I think Meteor Gray & Sand Beige can go together.
I do prefer the 2-tone interiors with the black dash and would choose this option if I were ordering new just because I think it looks better.
As others have suggested, Meteor Gray and Cocoa sounds like it would awesome together.

I love the way Porsche did my last 911 where I ordered "Lipstick Red" as a special order full leather interior. Instead of the typical black dashboard and a sort of top black/bottom red....they mixed it up. They gave me a red dash which was wonderful and black rugs and interior doors.....red center console with black stick boot.....I like this way better than the typical way they do 2 tone..........I was lucky as my dealer did the recommendations.

two cents worth....
Totally disagree....
Unless you haul gravel and dirt the sand beige is no more likely to get dirty than any other color.... I'm guessing the beige is a very popular color?? The Black and Beige interior is amazing...
The most beautiful interior I've ever seen was the natural leather brown...
Macadamia exterior with brown leather... Lots of brown but it worked....
