Beautiful! Interesting to see that you (a race driver) chose the multi-function steering wheel over the sport wheel (with paddle shifters)... I actually came to the same conclusion but curious to hear your your logic? BTW, I had the pleasure of meeting both your dad and your grandfather at KDPA a few years ago (in a VERY nice car! ... also blue).

Honestly the reason for mutifunction is simple, CARBON!!! I wanted carbon, thats really it. My Cayenne GTS has the alcantara Sport Design wheel with paddles and its cool, but lets be honest its a road car and some of those comfort items you get with the multi wheel are just awesome.

Please tell us more about the entire custom ordering process with 'Porsche Exclusive' on this particular 981S and what the cost is on some of those customized options on your beautiful car! Besides the 'roll hoops' that you wanted painted, was there anything else you asked for and they couldn't do or was just too outrageously expensive? I believe PTS (Paint to Sample) is $5500, but who is cares when the results are so stunningly attractive & make your 981 relatively rare!
I have been asked specifically by an old friend over at Rennlist to inquire from you the exact color of the deviating thread used by Porsche so effectively in your interior! Thanks in advance for your assistance on this matter!

To be honest Porsche Exclusive was great for me. I got the car allocated directly through them, and placed it with Byers Imports in Ohio. After that I decided to go with Riviera Blue of course, and selected all the options I wanted. The only thing they came back and said they wouldnt do is the stitching on the seats, everything else was fine.
The stitching is supposed to be riviera blue, and there isnt another name for it that Ive seen. I ordered riviera blue stitching and its very close.
On that note, I somewhat feel bad that it seems Porsche allowed me to do some stuff that others havent been able to do. I helped BudRichard out I think, but if anyone else has any questions feel free to ask.
Thanks

Nice car ! One question regarding the doors: it looks that you have full leather interior option. OK, but as per configurator, the door handles in full leather interior should be the plastic ones without any stitching at all (to say nothing of deviated stitching and this small metal strip under the handle). In other words, leather door handles are available only if you order 'partly leather interior'. Am I correct ? So, how did you get full leather interior with stitched leather door handles ?
