Nope - looks really amazing tbh! And the stitching… link to the ad here while it’s still live

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.

It does look great. One of my top picks. Have you come across a crayon interior with black inserts by any chance?

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.
Easy to miss but yeah agreed it’d be a mandatory one for me on GTS or above given they have Racetex headlining as standard…
I’m sure it’s easily swappable should someone buy a second hand car without it

There was a CT Turbo S with Crayon and black centres but it’s been sold, although there is this YT video where you can see it in detail!
To me the black leather with Crayon inserts looks better but it’s just my 2cts! It also saves £400 of dual tone that contributes towards the contrasting centres.

I can't help thinking of pandas when I see black/crayon or crayon/black.

What trims have you gone for, black, dark silver or Neodym?
Gone for black, keeps the trim colours down to 2, black and crayon. Seemed a bit odd as its the standard trim and a downgrade on a Turbo S but for me it looked a lot more uniform.

Yeah I was thinking black trim and black belts.

I went Crayon belts to match in with the leather.

Thought about contrast stitch but because of the two tone leather at some point you get the same colour stitch as the leather, which then defeats the object (unless you went for a different colour stitch to either of the two tone colours).

You're right, the contrast stitch carries a hefty price and would get lost in a lot of areas.

Look forward to your pics. My build will probably only lock in May or June. I've requested an MY23.

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.
That’s exactly how I optioned my build. Tentative production in April with delivery to the states in June
