Option - Full Black Leather 997.1

optionpunk · 11-07-2009, 02:57 AM

Just looking for some clarity on the Full Black Leather option on the 07 GT3. What exactly ends up being leather as it seems that the seats are still partially alcantara? I would have expected all leather seats but clearly I'm missing something here. Thanks.

Check the diagram at the front of the order guide for the specifics. The seats remain Alcantara (as do all existing Alcantara surfaces.) The leather is on the dash and doors. I think it really goes a long way to justifying the quality of the cabin of a $110K+ car, but it's pretty pricy.

Thanks Carrera GT - I've seen some negative discussion revolving around "Porsche vinyl" and was hoping to avoid as much as possible. You're right - vinyl just doesn't seem to belong on a $110k car.

...also agree that it makes a significant difference to the quality of the interior!
