One more NEWS for the DOC... you MUST order full leather... it comes with the Alcantara Door panels... if you don't order the package you will get those plastic ones that you see from the normal Carreras... this option is a MUST!!! trust me... i just picked up my car today and the dealer told me this... i was lucky that i ordered it!!!

So this appears to be the alcantara door panel that only comes with full leather.

Best, Jas

The July order guide I have for the GT3/GT3RS shows a thicker steering wheel in smooth leather as an option. Option code XPA. It does not show a thicker steering wheel in alcantara.

My CS has an alcantara interior (dash and seats) but leather steering wheel. I don't know if I would like the feel of an alcantara steering wheel.

The production delay story is being disputed by my salesman. He says - no way. He has one on the water, one in paint & body. No delays according to his rep

Here's a pic of mine without full leather (no alcantara on the doors)...and to make your car "pretty" on the street, yea it a must, but for a track rig, I'd stick with no leather.
