    Had another passenger ride in my mates GS yesterday, some better pictures of the interior, thought not that good as I was being subjected to the G forces of a GS full bore standing start.....

    Pleated ceiling is a very nice option to have, really makes the interior feel even more bespoke.

    This car has full leather, very nice color, tan not sure of the proper name....

    Anyway the pics.

    certainly this GS look bespoke.
    very rare to see a monotone (avorio may be?) full leather GS.
    looks good. i wonder whether it gets a lot of glare.

    the earlier GS were all filled with brightex fabrics.
    then they trim it with leather, many with contrast pipings.

    Im glad the GS comes with the full leather option. I thought that they used quite a bit of carbon fiber and preferred the leather.

    I have the leather headliner in my coupe and it does add a nice touch.

    Have you noticed if it cuts down on road/outside noise a little bit? I would think a leather headliner might be a little better than say, a felt headliner.

    Actually there isnt that much glare, the only contrast is that light blue carpeting, I think noise is reduced compared to the normal headliner have been in a 4200 GT...

    I am not that much of a fan of the Britex, for the dash its ok but for the seat I cant help but thinking its not in keeping with the status of the car...

    I dont think it would effect road noise that much, but it looks nice. The tubi exhaust covers up most outside road noise anyways.

    A much nicer option would be a 6-speed :)

    Interesting observation I but honestly I think the Cambiocorsa gearbox is very friendly, not jerky, smooth shifting, it doesnt drag the clutch too much in city driving and it goes with the character of the car.

    Have driven a 4200 GT 6 speed and lets just say with RHD the gate of the gearbox is all wrong, making 1st to 2nd a nightmare to achieve quickly.

    Tubi exhaust? Good idea? Any sound clips anywhere?
