I’m looking to buy a 991.1 in the next year and am obsessively scrolling through online listings. It looks like the vast majority of cars have a dark interior. No judgement cause my current car does too, but I love how you can see interior details with a lighter color and the contrast with the exterior is so nice. Am I alone on this one?

    I love the Mojave and other tans. When I was looking for my 991, I found several that were the right specs except for the interior! I settled for black and still wish I waited for the tan. My car is amazing, though.

      I’m going to keep that in mind. I think the interior matters a lot to me because there are a few exterior colors that would be ok

    I had a blue/tan 2012 cayenne. My dog just got it dirtier and dirtier. Now I have a black interior AND I’ve covered up the back seat and side panels as much as possible

    I like the Heritage interiors with the leather and houndstooth cloth in the middle of the seats.

    I’ve got a 997.2 in Porsche Racing Green Metallic. The vast majority of them came with full Sand Beige interiors, unfortunately. It’s actually a great color combo, but the entire dash is in tan, and it should be black to cut down on reflections. The carpet, floor mats, steering wheel, shifter, and parking brake are Sand as well, so it’s a bit overwhelming. I just swapped to a 991.2 steering wheel in black along with black floor mats, and it looks 100% better. Next up will be the PDK and parking brake swapped to black as well, and then I’ll be happy. Airbag wasn’t attached yet, but you get the idea:

      Thanks for this…I just bought a 987.2 Cayman with exactly the same full Sand Beige interior and have been looking online for black steering wheel, PDK shifter knobs and trim pieces to swap in. Where did you source the steering wheel?

    Porsche eliminated tan dashboards after a class-action settlement with people claiming too much glare.

    After that point, you couldn’t get a tan dashboard any longer.

    I love the Porsche two-tone interiors, with the black dash and top of doors, and the rest of the interior in red, tan, etc.

    All tan or all red is way too much, imo.

    I have Luxor beige in my 991 and it brightens the interior so much. Only issue is the glare of the dash reflecting onto the windshield which can be a pain without polarized sunglasses
