Beautiful car and one of my favourite color schemes, although I would always select the alu trim around the windows and the Carrera Classic wheels with this color scheme. It gives the car a very classy and classic look. The black trim and these wheels look too sporty for this color. (Just my humble opinion of course)

Instead of the deviated floormats, you can also opt for the whole carpet in Espresso (option 24951 of the dealer Z-options). It looks very good IMO. You get the same scheme as the black-carrera red interior of the Turbo S.

No matter how, the car looks amazing!

I looked at the pictures and said to myself that needs to deviated carpet. Of course when I am not spending my money it is easy to say that. Beautiful choice BTW

My local dealer had a Mahogany Metallic 991 in the showroom last month when I stopped in. Color is stunning, had the hint of mocha and burgundy. Looked so good I don't even remember what the damn interior color was. Don't discount this color until you see it in person. It's NOT anything like the 80s bronzes & brown tones...

I agree with you, unfortunately that option is not in the configurator.

Deviated carpet is a must! I have the black / beige two tone interior. I love the look of the two tone but the carpet is beige (floor mats are black).

Mistake on my part, I didn't pay close enough attention until it was too late so I have the lighter color carpet. Not the end of the world but if I could do it again I would certainly choose the black carpet, much easier to keep clean.

DrJay,
I did some renders for myself a while ago from Espresso-cognac with deviated carpet.
BTW: to get the espresso floormats with cognac stitching, you need to get option CFX (personalized floormats)
The deviated carpet is option 24951

In this render are a lot of other leather options that aren't standard, but it is just to give you an idea how it looks.

Photoshop
Two layers... An espresso-cognac interior on top of an espresso interior and than just erase the cognac carpet out of the top layer. It's pretty simple, but it works.

Ah Photoshop. I have zero skills in that program.

Would that front plastic trim piece on the outboard lower Espresso section be Espresso or Cognac? The part that holds the fuse blocks (I think)

That appears in the configurator as plastic, but it is actually carpet.

Ahh, good to know. It has been a while since I drove the demo and so trusted the configurator. Silly me.

Thanks again.

??? Photoshop? You're kidding, right?
All you have to do is select Mahogany Interior package, and when asked about center console choose leather. Then in Leather select PCM Package in Leather. Looks great! Brings the dash and center console together.

Another way of doing that is keep the Mahogany center console and add Vents in Mahogany. But the first one, leather console and PCM Package looks a lot cleaner to me.

Chuck, we were referring to the deviating Espresso carpets.

Hey Suzy -- any way I could convince you to do that for the Black/platinum Grey two tone interior in the S Cabrio?? Would help me a lot!
