Wow! Love it. This is how I like to travel. Not a fan of shiny black plastic or carbon fibre at all . Perhaps it's my age?
I'm with you Danny. Piano black shows every spec of dust, and CF is too racy for me so I too have specified dark walnut, albeit with black extended leather. Even the 23 year-old sales exec had to admit it will look classy

I've had piano black in both my Macans. Virtually no dust or other issues with it in 4+ years. Really looks rich and lustorus in a good way and compliments the interior.
I'm not a fan of the aluminium trim or carbon fibre let alone pipe & slippers walnut. Good job we're all different in our tastes!

I would suggest the Antrachite chestnut - seen it only once and its very classy….
I like it too - but it's close to £1k as an option. If it were at no cost , I'd consider it. Other than the walnut, I'd also accept the black brushed aluminium that I think can be had on the GTS?

Black aluminum is GTS only but is free with that car. Standard aluminum is a free option on S or you pay for it on base.

In Australia the gloss black is standard and actually works well with the new touch interface and the PCM screen. When the car is off, all these items appear the same as the gloss black so provides a harmonious look. Now everyone is going to jump up and down and tell you about fingermarks, but where these panels are it should not be an issue.
Thanks Mike for posting the pictures!
"Very 60s" as you say - and as am I!
I was trying to explain th elook to the salesman in terms of old Jags and TRs and MGs. First time I've seen an "enigmatic smile" on a car sales exec. I don't know what it meant!
Yeah, I get that, still have a bit of traditional wood and leather in the garage, and love it.
