4th Taycan Purchase: Interior for Gentian Blue Turbo S

[MJH_102383]

Decided to poll the group since I am a diehard Porsche fan it is difficult to narrow down what will look the best. For whatever it is worth my prior Taycan's have been:

• 2020 Volcano Grey Turbo S w/ black/black interior (loved it, but grey/black was a little boring)
• 2021 White Turbo S w/ black/chalk interior
• 2021 Jet Black Metallic Turbo S w/ Bordeaux red leather/black interior

I am building a Gentian Blue 2023 Turbo S and I already own a chalk Cayenne Turbo (truffle brown interior) and chalk 911 Turbo S Cab (chalk/graphite blue interior) and own a black/black GT3. I only mention these because I think the entire lineup plays into a new car purchase or at least for me it does.

With this gentian build I am going for a different look with platinum satin (gunmetal) wheels, carbon fiber kit all the way around, dark silver accents on the interior to tie in the platinum satin wheels, etc. The interior I am trying to decide between Olea leather color being Atacama beige/black or Basalt black (a charcoal/dark grey color) as none of my prior Taycan's had Olea club leather.

Also, in my prior life I owned an electric blue M5 Competition with white leather interior... so in a way the reason I have been ehh about chalk interior on this new Taycan is I already owned that combo on a prior car.

Here is the build:

IMO, olea is (so much) better…otherwise my favourite would be bramberry.
Btw: what about (olea) truffle-brown? It goes with gentian as well.

My wife has it on her Cayenne and I love it but it’s a lot of brown! And with the grey wheels I though basalt would go better.

Beautiful build! In my opinion I think the beige interior clashes a bit with the beautiful exterior color and the dark accents. I know many people on here prefer a contrasting interior and of course it’s all personal choice. I voted for the olea black and speed blue stitching. Personally I think that’s a classy look with a little blue to tie in the ext color. In the end they’re all great options.
Out of curiosity, have there been issues with your 3 Taycans or do you quickly tire of cars and colors and like to keep changing it up? Best of luck!

Quickly tire of cars! Thanks for your input I’m likely going to end up where you mentioned basalt and blue stitching.

Understood & agreed. Your car, your money, your (wife’s ) decision.

If you wear jeans I don't recommend chalk. I am finding it picks up dye transfer quite easily. So far I've been able to rub it off, but who knows how long that will last.

Great build. My 5 cents - I’d recommend to try and look at Satin Aurum paint for your wheels (will also need black calipers instead of yellow for contrast) and Atacama Beige/Basalt Black interior to go with that. It doesn’t look nearly as good in that configuration screen as it does in person. Contrasting colors complementing each other with bronze accents both inside and outside, blue exterior/beige interior - a truly perfect color palette(for me at least ). Cheers

I had basalt in my gentian blue along with the platinum wheels
looks amazing. I love the olea leather and spec'd it in my new one

I don't have any pics of the interior but the car is at Hennessy and they have lots of solid shots of the dark silver and olea

Black with Speed blue stitching, obviously!

Agree on the Olea Lather. Mines is Truffle-Brown, I'm okay with it, but it is a bit monochromatic. Fine with me as it goes very well with Gentian Blue, but some might be off-put by it.
