Haven't seen interior like this in person before, but looks pretty sharp. Must be a PITA to keep clean. Anyone have?

996 TT with white interior

 

very nice. it's leather to sample, $1,750 option, and full carbon package.

have to have a good eyes to see it

 

oops!i circled the wrong option. carbon is one up on the list

 

this is my favor!

 

I saw a turbo that had the "paint the exterior to sample" option, it was a matalic gold, and it had the "paint the interior to sample" option, and it was a dark green. It looked kind of cool, but i dont think i would want it. BTW, I realy like the white leather contrasted with the black carbon fiber and black exterior, it would be a great show car, but a pain to clean.

 

i've always wanted an orange car with white interior. I fell in love with this combination on a Diablo 6.0

Steve, I see that your family has a SL55 and a GT2. Unfortunatly, i could only get one car , so i got the Turbo and not the SL55, I am glad I made the choice, however, i sometime have second thoughts. I was just wondering, if you could only choose one, which one would you get, the SL55 or a Turbo (GT2).
Thanks.

 

Porsche hands down. The SL55 is mom's car. I have tracked it once. First of all i don't like automatics at all. More importantly the car is super heavy. I am very much a no-frills lightweight sportscar type of guy (as you can tell by the Elise i have on order). I have yet to drive anything i like as much as our GT2. In all honesty i've driven almost everything and i'd say my second favorite thing to drive is my S2000, although it's obviously not nearly as fast in any way it's damn fun to drive.

EDIT: if the car is going to be a cruiser then the SL55 may be a better choice. I'm giving my opinion based on what i enjoy: a sportscar.

The light interior doesn't get dirty, it develops a "patina." That is, the surface can be kept clean fairly easily, but where there are natural cracks and crevices, as in the seats, dirt and grime will accumulate, and this will require a lot more effort to clean (or you'll want detailing). But, my black interior for some reason gets a lot of white marks, why I don't know, so I am constantly after that! The light sure looks pretty, though.

Thanks Steve,
Im very happy with my purschase, but as you said, the SL is a great sports cruser. I cant wait for the Elise to come to america, I saw it in one of my car magazines, and it is stunning, please post some pics once you get it. Also, i might just one day test drive a S2000 for the fun of it, you and so many other people are giving it rave reviews.
Regards

 

WOW, I really like that interior...nice contrast between the carbon and white...VERY NICE...
Must be a ***** to keep clean tho...

I think the color is Magnolia. I saw it a Porsche dealer once and a guy from England posted pictures of a Basalt C4S with this same interior several months back.

 

Owning that interior requires having a detailer on staff to keep it nice, had white leather once and never again.
