Default Building my 2024 GTS - Q: PDK lever material

I am getting the GTS interior package and my question is.... does the PDK gear lever automatically come with Race-Tex? I see I can opt for the PDK lever in Race-Tex with carbon fiber but I don't see the option for JUST Race-Tex without the carbon fiber.

Race-Tex is an option - my 2022 GTS came with leather - same as steering wheel.

Our 2022 GTS gear **** is leather. We did get the "Extended leather" interior option vs. the "Standard interior with Leather" or the regular "Leather Package", so not sure if it comes as something else w/o that option.

Yes Racetex is a separate option not sure if that includes the gear ****.

I believe leather is standard. On the GTS Sport Package (like on my car) it’s changed to RaceTex.

What year is your GTS? So you ordered the GTS package that comes with Race-Tex and the PDK gear lever was covered in Race-Tex by default?

This is from the Porsche website.... obviously it's in Python Green and not the Carmine Red GTS package I'm ordering. You can clearly see that the steering wheel and PDK gear lever are covered in Race-Tex but neither the steering wheel or gear lever are carbon fiber. Porsche however doesn't specify in any of it's literature if these are covered in Race-Tex by default when selecting the GTS interior package.

@NickS to be clear, my car is a 2023 GTS and I do have the GTS Sport Package, meaning my interior has the Python Green stitching. I believe with the GTS interior package, you get leather, but what I am saying is that when you option the GTS "Sport" Package, then the shifter **** is also RaceTex by default.

You can see my confusion then... Porsche doesn't specify this in the description and my SA is clueless and can only tell me what he reads just like I'm doing. SO frustrating.

What I can tell you 100% is that IF you option the GTS Package with the GTS SPORT PACKAGE, the steering wheel and shifter know will be covered in RaceTex. Just took delivery on my car and that's how Porsche build the vehicle.

When you say "car" you mean your Macan GTS and not your 911, right? If so, THAT is exactly the info I was wanting. Thanks!! I owe you a beer or two!

PR9VCP43 Wish Porsche allowed additions to the GTS package. I want the Carmine red tach and Chrono and want the side blades to be the same satin finish as the wheels but it is what it is. Not sure how the "gloss black" of the side blades will look with Jet Metallic.

2024 GTS

The build looks great! The only small extras I chose were PORSCHE Puddle Lights (which come on the front and rear doors) and the aluminum look gas cap. Otherwise you checked all the right boxes. The black with the GTS Sport Package in Carmine Red is going to look amazing!

Thanks. My only concerns are not being able to get what I built due to some factory issue / parts availability or being delayed because of parts availability or logistics once the vehicle is complete.
