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
Yes that’s the spec I eventually decided on

Ditto (and grab handles, mirror panel and console. Basically anything readily visible/touchable).

I thought long and hard about Racetex, but I'm a sucker for a full leather interior. I was concerned about the long term durability.

PLUS potentially when it comes to resale time - there may be a bunch of GTS cars with Racetex, and not so many with leather. All it takes it another me wanting non Racetex and it will sell..

We shall see though!

Had the GTS been available in CT shape I'd have gone for it, but same as you, with full leather. Racetex is too hard to maintain with kids and for countryside living, and Porsche dual tone smooth leather just look so good it's hard to pass!

When you say dual tone, what did you go for?

I meant the black/crayon and black/Bordeaux options, so not “true” 2-tone like when you choose the contrasting centres (pic below). I currently have black/crayon on order but considering changing it to black/Bordeaux to contrast with Crayon exterior

Even without splashing out another grand on this extra, the contrasting black environment with Crayon or red looks sharper and more defined than full Racetex without GTS package imho. With the crayon GTS pack it suddenly becomes really sporty and nice as well, just quite costly vs almost free full leather.

Yep it’s live on AT, a really high spec 4S (incl. contrast stitching and Porsche Design clock!)

Is it wrong to really like that?

Mate where did you find these pictures with the Crayon inserts and the orange inserts in the black interior?

I'd love to see more of the crayon one.

They’re live ads on Autotrader UK, where I obviously spend way too much time ?

The crayon one is simply on the most expensive Taycan currently for sale in the country - and also has the contrasting stitching. Looks just amazing imho.

They spent all that money and didn't cough up the £350 to get the nasty, scratchy plastic B-Pillar wrapped in Race-Tex.

Incredible. Or I spend way too much time in the configurator.

I would bet they missed it in the configurator. It'd be easily done.

Another thing from those images.... I really don't like the way the HUD changes the instrument binnacle look.
