Default Cocoa interior pics...

When looking, I could never seem to see this interior without a plane ticket. (I'm a min. of 2hrs from any dealer...) There was an attractive car in FL but the dealer had the price jacked and it was 800mi.... It wasn't 'till the folks in Cleveland (Porsche of North Olmstead) lured me with both colors and price that I bought the ticket. Anyway, I wanted this post to archive in case someone else may be interested in this interior color.

The colors look pretty true on my Mac ..with the exception that the carpeting has a stronger Mauve/purplish cast.










.....this is the horse the interior rode in on.





....and you can always come look at mine in the flesh.

Cheers.

very nice combo Jim.
Is that Artic silver?
I was looking seal/cocoa w/o having to order it. And at the time wasnt able to see too many pics of cocoa interior.
I went with a very safe seal/black instead. No regrets although cocoa is VERY nice.

I just ordered a meteor grey/cocoa C4s. I never seen it in the flesh but from a picture or two I think it will be great. Thanks for the photos.

Yep, that's what I have on pre-order. Cocoa is certainly classy. I saw it with both GT and AS recently. GT is best but AS is very very close and several K less.

Is that a window tint I see?

Thanks guys.

Sharmat: Seal was my color of choice, as we have a Seal Boxster...but this Arctic Silver combo was just too seductive. It hooked me in about 60sec.

GWD: That will be a classy ride. I really love the brushed Aluminum trim with Cocoa. My wife has a German saddle with similar fittings

...and G-M: I drove two hours to look at a 996 40th Anv. edition simply to see GT Silver. I loved it but thought I'd have to wait forever to find it - along with Natural Brown or Cocoa full leather. (I wasn't ordering...just waiting for one of you to get bored...) No tint.

Cheers.

For extracurricular activities I presume? Bet she has a matching whip too!

Btw, thanks for the thoughtful thread title for future thread searches. Oh, and fabulous pics again! Beautiful car!

Great "true" pictures of the interior, I get more compliments on my interior (like yours) than any other aspect of the car.

I will never forget, the first time I saw my car it was night under the neon lights of the dealer...it was VERY purple, I called it the "Barney" car.
