Convince me why I should get this interior combo?! I’ve seen pics and it looks great. Just trying to decide between this interior and black or slate grey for a few cars I’m looking at. Any comments or pics. Would love to see.

Also, surprised by how many cars out there don’t have full leather. I think it makes the interior feel so much more premium especially on a car of this level. Does anyone think the standard interior still looks and feels premium? I’m worried about the pebbled feeling faux leather door panels and upper dash.

What do you mean by "full leather" is that an option in the US? We have leather, vegan, or Olea leather in Europe.

I don't like the non-leather interior and I've seen both black and olea black leather side by side. Not that big of a difference. Olea has an olive oil based treatment and has less structure when you look at it.

Only difference with olea is that the backrest of your seat is also covered in leather.

Standard interior vs the leather interior. Leather interior having the extra leather on the upper door panels and dash with the extra stitching.

Absolutely get the Olea leather. Looks better than any leather I've seen, and really gives the interior a premium look. Plastic seatbacks don't belong in a $200K car...

I have Gentian Blue with extended Crayon leather interior, plus Crayon seatbelts, plus the glass roof - all these make an otherwise dull, plasticky interior look more up-market.

'Full leather' is called Extended Leather - dashboard, upper door etc. - add to this the additional items that can be covered in leather if you go wild on the configurator.

The standard interior looks and feels ok. In order to keep the price as low as possible, you can live well with the standard interior.

It depends what you have driven before - if it was a Porsche with Full Leather, so IMHO you will regret it not having taken Full Leather.

+2. Full leather FOR SURE. I have it. I'm in a 4S loaner now with standard limestone and it definetely feels and looks cheaper than leather. Seats, airbag, dash, door panels, etc... are not smooth and some surfaces are leatherette.
