New 991 Turbo S Order

Hi guys,

Excited to soon become an official 991 Turbo S owner.

But first I have to complete my order.

Down to agate but stuck on the interior.

All red or two tone red/black.

Unfortunately, I have seen neither in person.

Can anyone chime in with opinions or pics?

Cheers,

KR

I saw a white turboS with black/luxor beige interior, and it was beautiful. I would go two tone if opting for red. My 2 cents

Def two tone. All red is too much.

Pre-Congrats. If I were you, I would definitely opt for two-tone. I'm not a fan of the full-red interior on Porsches. It's way too loud for my taste:

+1 for 2-tone. I have black/luxor beige and love it. I think black/red looks phenomenal.

Two tone or I would avoid red completely if I were you. Two tone black/biege or all black better options. Of course this is subjective.

I would avoid red completely but two tone with black if you really need red in your life

Consensus is definitely two tone, I see. I can live with that. Not normally a red guy, but I think agate needs a pop to set it off.

Thoughts on alcantara wheel and shift ****, or do you all think the interior will look too busy?

Torn on the Burmester. Not the audiophile I used to be, but concerned about resale without it.

If you are concerned with re sale I would prolly steer clear of red altogether

Bose seems to be doing well in the resale department, as it's a reputable system and isn't lacking in any department. I wouldn't worry about it.

I would, without a moments hesitation, proceed with ordering the Burmester. It is worth every penny.

Even if you aren't an audiophile, it is just an amazing sounding system. I have had Bose in a Cayenne and then Bumester in my last 3 cars. Will never NOT order it again.

Great spec. Enjoy!

Ok, I'm thinking about the Burmester.

Otherwise, my spec has evolved to the following, any other must dos you guys suggest?

Agate
Leather Two Tone Interior in Black/Carrera Red
Sunroof in glass
Headlight Cleaning System Covers Painted in Exterior Color
Seat Heating (Front)
Seat Ventilation (Front)
Porsche Crest on Headrests
Power Steering Plus


Cheers,


KR
