Hank:
RC any opinion on the following;
1.) What leather interior options do you value the most on the 991 TTS US Configurator.
It really depends on the exterior color and personal preferences/taste or maybe even the region you live in. Not easy to tell.
I chose the bi-color (black/Carrera red) interior because the exterior color is a bit dull (Agate grey) and I wanted to make the car look sportier/different from the interior. White would also have been an interesting choice for the same interior combo but in the end, I just couldn't get a white Turbo (my wife has a white X3 35d, so...maybe not the right color for a sports car).
To be honest, the interior color choices are pretty limited. I actually only like two more interior combos, the Espresso/Cognac natural leather two-tone and the black/Luxor-beige two tone (for a more elegant approach). The Espresso/Cognac combo is between the more sporty black/Carrera and the more elegant black/Luxor-beige interior.
The only exterior colors I would go with are black, Agate grey or GT silver but this is me...so...
For a more elegant approach, I would choose dark blue metallic or Amaranth red metallic.
Red and Racing yellow would be interesting colors if you want to attract attention.
All the other colors don't fit the 991 Turbo S too well in my opinion but to each his own I guess.
2.) What does the glass sunroof interior visor screen look like and how much does it keep the sun out of the interior?
As far as I remember some sort of thick dark cloth but I never actually paid attention to it. It works pretty effective though, there is no sunlight coming in through it.
3.) Do you value the Burmeister audio package?
To be honest, no. I had Burmester in my Panamera and loved it. I have Bose in my Cayenne and like it (see the difference?). I am an audiophile person, even if I don't hear classic music but I just had to put a limit to the car's value and I started with Burmester. Burmester is great for the Panamera and even for the Cayenne but I don't seem to see the real value in getting Burmester for a 911, as weird as this may sound. I will listen more to the sound of the engine than to music and when I listen to music, it will be for short periods of time only (weekend fun car, remember?). So Burmester is great but for ME, in MY 911, not worth it.
