Given that white is the color for my current and most recent previous car, white wasn't a hard sell for me. This video confirmed the choice. I like the side blades in black, and I've configured the blacked-out trim option as well. Blacking out the rear badges will be the first mod, and should add some nice contrast to the rear.

Awesome find!
The thing looks insane in white.

I think you have to like white to begin with, which wasn't always the case for me... but I think it does look aggressive with all the normal chrome bits blacked out. And white is a color that is never really in or out of fashion. Truly classic.

Here's another video of the same Macan turbo but parked this time so you can really take in the lines.

Hi guys.

New member here. Great forum.

I have a first allocation turbo reserved and selected palladium over full black leather with the high closs black exterior package. Any thoughts on the interior color selction?

Thanks.

Welcome from another new member First alloc S from Australia here.

I'm also thinking of going palladium however I can't find any photos online, only these 3 renders of the panamera turbo S. The colour shown on the configurator is not very flattering.

Interior colour selection is pretty limited. Black, beige, agate grey, black/red or espresso. I'd actually prefer half-leather half-alcantara but that means either black or beige, and I have heard that the porsche luxor beige is a nightmare to maintain which leaves black but that's a bit boring.

Agate grey interior I really need to see in person, in these photos it looks a bit light and neutral, much prefer the espresso.

Thanks! Looks very similar to the Audi Aurum metallic; based on price I know which one I'd pick though

I think the Aurum metallic from Porsche looks completely different. More like something between the Audi Aurum beige metallic and Porsche's Nodic gold metallic.
Too bad that there aren't any pictures of it yet...

The espresso is another healthy upgrade in the states but I have seen it in other porsche's and it is rich. My concern however is what color would the headliner be, in the turbo here alcantara is standard but if it is black or grey with the espresso option I don't think that would look very good. I don't believe Porsche has an matching alcantara headliner for the espresso option.

Espresso interior gets an espresso headliner, with or without Alcantara headliner.

They have espresso colored alcantara on all other models, so why won't they have it in the Macan?
Besides that, it's also shown in the 3D configurator.
