Natural brown or sand beige are the only interiors I like. Black is too boring now - had too many 911's with black on black.

Very happy with the combination; I'd definitely order it again. That said, I think it only works on dark gray or black exteriors. Looks kind of fruity with other colors, I think.

I love the Terracotta interior! IMO it looks great with just about all colors. It is better than the lite tan color most have. It looks "exotic" to me.

That last car would would great with a two-tone black/terra (or grey/terra if that is an option).

2 tone is the way to go with it, also the black floor mats make it work.

The problem (as I see it) with the terra is that it is too bright and one can tire of it. Added black accents help to tone down the 'sunburst' effect.

unexpectedly came across this thread via google search on historic Porsche colors - they offered Terracotta exterior on 356s!

Anyway, the 2-tone interior is perfect. Black up above the belt line to blend seamlessly with the headliner and pillars, and the nice rich reddish color for contrast below.

Love it.

I wouldn't call Terracotta a bright red.

It's more of an orange. I couldn't open that pic above,. but here is what it looks like. My neighbor has a White one with Terracotta interior.

Mine is similar to Seneca035's interior terracotta lower/black upper, except I have teraracotta carpet. My car is Carrera white and it's an awesome combination always gets compliments.

Not as red or oranges as in pictures kinda hard to describe you kinda need to see it in person.
