Heres a guy with mamba and truffle, i think it works?!

Check out the market atm - it’s bonkers.
The cheapest CT4 with almost 0 extra on it goes for £105k, £25k over list. The cheapest 4S - bar the green machine - is £120-125k and well spec’d £135k. Turbo starts at £160k!
So yeah, for a dealer-sold 4S, £106k is indeed 20 grand below market…!

This one is a similar price with black interior and plenty options?

I love mamba and i love truffle - I'm not a fan of the lighter interior colours (plus i have small kids). I find black a bit bland, even when i specced it with the mamba accent interior door handles etc.

Meranti looked good initially but its a lot lighter in real life than on the configurator.

What about truffle with darksilver accents rather than the neodyme accents? I'd need to remove the red calipers for sure, though.

If you really like Mamba and Truffle, you shouldn’t let me (or anyone else) talk you out of it. The real beauty of these cars is the ability to make them your own. You probably wont find too many Mamba Green with Truffle Brown Taycans. You will likely enjoy your car even more for that very reason.

You're right, I just don't want to make a bad decision with a sell-on price after a few years. Thanks.

It's also difficult to know exactly of the colours will work together as it's difficult to find any mamba green taycans here, let alone those with truffle too! Mamba seems to look different on different cameras, though I have seen samples of mamba and truffle at my dealership.

My bad - I’m waiting for a CT and therefore have my AT search on CTs!
What I mentioned above is only for those…
But hey - it’s your car, and your chance to make it super personal!

Unlike steel rotors, with the upgraded PSCB, I can leave my car outdoors for over a week without any corrosion on the rotors.

Pay for either black calipers, or better yet Mission Es and PSCBs. I really like the Mamba with Mission E and white calipers.

That was very clever, and a great look.

What size wheels are there and what is the wheel type? Did you get them from Porsche?

My 2c: choose an aero wheel design. You won't notice the red calipers and you get better fuel economy. Win/win.

 

[wemct]

Those must be some special wheels to squeeze fuel from an EV

They're custom by @Adrian@GlasWerksDMV and Forgeline, based of course on the classic Porsche Fuchs design. I have the staggered 21"/20" setup. Here's the link to the details in the aftermarket wheels sub-forum.

BTW Adrian's writeup of track day using these wheels is epic:

I think it looks good, but black is obviously cleaner. That is why I painted my wheels:

Fellow mamba + truffle here ?

I’d just get them painted black aftermarket, but I think the red calipers would look better than you expect. There’s several mamba on Bordeaux red interiors on here and the “watermelon” look is surprisingly nice

 

[batteredhaddock]

Took the hit on my Gentian in a similar manner and went for the black coating. Even though much of of the calipers covered by the aero wheels then I didn’t like the idea of white ones poking through when all else blacked out and dark car colour. Was it really necessary, probably not but have a stealth build and that damn configurator…£££
