Haha it has a decent bit of kit however it misses the main point of the GTS - the GTS interior pack! Fair enough some dont like it however they go for leather...the standard race text without coloured stitching is rather depressing IMHO

I think the "standard" GTS race tex interior looks good, but only when you add back in a splash of colour. Speccing the burgundy seatbelts and chrono clock face, it would look much better without being too in your face.

Fair shout - my build spec has the GTS interior package :) (In red...but getting some pressure to change that to Crayon at home :) Will have to see what we settle on for the exterior colour).

£2800 for some alcantara and carbon fibre trim, seems excessive.

Also, that interior seems more suitable for those who are more likely to track than road vs most future owners (like me) who are more likely to road than track as a DD.

For that reason, I've decided against any alcantara and have specced out full leather.

Here is my build - a blend of GTS "heritage" with DD practicality, but not too pushed towards DD that it loses some of its track day appeal (should I ever track the car):

I really like the alcantara interior. Looked good in the configurator, looks even beter in real. I would also go for the GTS interior pack in crayon, but standard already very nice.

Like Yves, I really like the alcantara interior. It looked, felt and smelled great in the demo car at my dealer. It's where I'll spend most of the time, so the inside needs to be good.

That said, the leather interiors are also nice. If I were going for leather, I'd go for something different (our XC90 has a 'blond' interior which looks like it might not be too far from Crayon, looked at the crayon/black pictures on here).

No bad choices really :)

How is there already a used GTS listed?

If you guys already have the GTS, has anyone seen pics of a Neptune Blue GTS?

They're getting a jump on selling their demonstrator I suspect. The car cannot actually be had until August/Seltrmber.

Have seen black, cherry, gentian blue and crayon thus far. No neptune yet.

Racetex interior feels like it needs crayon GTS pack to contrast a bit
I also find that the B pillar in plastic sticks out like a sore thumb, so that’d be a mandatory extra Racetex option imo
