Another test. Unfortunately in German but still informative in visual part.

 

Hi guys!

First and foremost, thanks to all of you who have posted on here and shared your knowledge. It has really made a huge difference as I navigate a build for my new Cayenne! I wanted to ask all of you your opinion on a few things. Most specifically, my interior. It is a bit unique. Here is what I have.

1. Black/chalk leather interior.
2. Deviated leather seats in Bordeaux Red.
3. Seat belts and clock face in Bordeaux Red.
4. Carbon Fiber with neodyme accents.

The exterior of the car will be carmine red without the sports pack.
Does anyone have experience with the deviated leather seats in red? I think this could look great. My SA said it was unique but was on the fence about how it would look.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Here is the build code:
PSQP6LA8

 

Hmm, I would agree with your SA, not sure it would work. basically the seat centers would be red and the outside white, would be a lot going on. You already have Carmine on the ourside and Bordaeux is darker, then throw in the Chalk and the Gold, would be unique for sure but it's a lot of money to try something different, could be a winner but high risk. Why not just go Bordeaux red interior? Or go with the red on the stitching only, that would be more subtle but still give you lots of red accents on the interior. But if you stick with it we need pics on arrival!

 

i have a Taycan in Carmine red. It’s so stunning in person!

 

Unfortunately the deviated leather centers won't render on the US configurer, as I heavily considered bordeaux red centers and grab handles with chalk interior on my new build. I have chalk on my current '24 and love it. Really brightens up a very dark interior (especially with black headliners). I ended up going with just plain chalk and bordeaux red seat belts for my next build, with chalk grab handles (chalk is the only leather trims color that will render for some reason)

I have carbon trim inserts now (they're under gloss) with standard black door handles and it comes default with bits of silvershade around the carbon trim. The silver+black tones go BEAUTIFULLY with the chalk leather. So I added even more silvershade trim on my next one. I loaded your build and TBH the neodyme trim looks odd to me with all the other 'cool' tones. But that's always a personal taste thing. I love the red dials though, and that'll look killer with the red belts and (if you go for it) red centers. I chickened out not being able to visualize red centers but I bet they'll look amazing and I'll be jealous I didn't go for them myself.

One small suggestion: when I was configuring my new chalk leather I took a hard look at the $1,500 "seat consoles in leather" option. What even was that? So I went to my current '24 and actually looked at the surprisingly cheap black plastic around the seat controls on the front seats and sides of the rear seats. It's SO low-end and once I saw it, I could never un-see it. So my new chalk config has the consoles in black leather. If the seat leather is important to you, you might want to consider doing the consoles in black leather as well.

 

Go Black interior and Bordeaux deviated seats and stitching. There is a pic ir twwo in the pictures thread.

 

hey thanks for your reply!

I think the all red interior will be too much red and just the stitching is a lot of money for not very much stuff. I have a few more days to think about it. Part of me has faith in Porsche that this stuff will look really great when it’s all put together

 

yes I wish the configurator would show this!!! It would make things much easier.
The white with carbon fiber I think looks fantastic. I’ll definitely think about the neodyme trim. I saw it on a Panamera they had on the lot and it was very subtle, but nice.

I’ll check out the leather. I’m pretty far over budget as it is but i guess at this point what another $1600.

thanks for your input!

 

do you have more info where to find these pics?

 

To be honest it sounds too busy. I think the chalk with red and black and then the neodyme accents on top of it all sounds like something that can get old very quickly. If you’re sold on red seat centers I’d go with black instead of chalk for the primary interior as others have suggested. Nice move switching away from the GTS interior though. The non leather surface feels cheap in such an expensive car. Even if it were all race-tex I would reconsider as it eliminates ventilated seats which actually work really well in the Cayenne! They were useless in my BMW.

 

more pics of chalk with hgb trim: https://www.motorauthority.com/news/...e-review-price (hi-res gallery at bottom)

 

Looks top! Way better than the all chalk in my opinion. One of the few colors where the HGB really shines!

These photos reassure me that leather interior is needed. Black club leather with orange stitching and chalk seatbelts

 

 

agree! just made my last minute change to remove the SD package, I feel chalk + HGB is better than all chalk.
3 more days to freeze! so excited!

 

I made the same choice chalk +HGB. What wheels you go with?
