Looks nice and good alignment on the bonnet :)
Yes, same carbon as available on the S. Maybe there is a bit more glare from the photo angles, the carbon looks great in the flesh and really lifts the cabin.
I had the carbon interior on both my Cayenne and Macan SD and never grew tired of it. However, decided to stick with the GTS black brushed aluminium this time.

It's not real carbon fibre but an image encased in perspex/resin, it will scratch the same as gloss black but not so noticeably and not so prominent.

Are you sure EDZ? I asked this same question and made them find out for me - apparently it is a thin layer of real carbon fibre within a resin composite front and back.

It’s extremely scratch resistant and finger marks won’t be a problem as you will be constantly focused on removing them from the haptic panel! 😂😂

As usual Jon of OPC's, I was told just an image, Either way it's still encased in perspex/rein and will still scratch in the same way as gloss black same product, but as said above not so noticeably.

To be honest, either way it looks absolutely mint 👍

I agree Jon. I was just pointing out that they are all finished in the same way including wood finish and same product encasement, apart from the brushed aluminium.

Yes and bizarrely it’s brushed aluminium that is an absolute shocker for fingerprints, or at least it was on a couple of Mercs I had!

I don’t really get why car manufacturers insist on these shiny surfaces. Tesla recently did away with it as customers hate it.
