Good afternoon! I've reached out to my experts and Redline gets black stitching on the steering wheel. ^MA

Wow that's pretty upsetting

ya know, it's like they put these things on the preproduction models just to fuck with us and make us disappointed in the end. Same with the damn pony and halo lighting, although I'll admit i don't care about halo lighting

Ikr they shouldn't have put it on the preproduction if they weren't sure about. I don't like that tease at all. I didn't even know about the pony and halo lighting! I was looking forward to that too!

This is strange news, the beijing model shows it with red steering wheel stitching and it looks amazing.

Here's a picture I took of a premier trim with red leather just last weekend (woodward dreamcruise booth) and it did not have any of this steering wheel stitching either.
There is still red on the dash, though. Looks like the shifter boot and console lid also keep the red. I can't tell but the e-brake looks all black to me. Infact the steering wheel stitching seems to be the only change from the beijing car.

I just reviewed the photos of the Redline 68B interior I saw a few weeks ago and it was missing the red stitching on the steering wheel but it was present on the dash.

Too bad on the black stitching makes zero sense if you are going to put it on the shifter , brake and dash. That steering wheel ties it all together. That is just basic design stuff.

So I guess the next question is: Does selecting redline Recaros give any red stitching to the door panels, dash, shifter boot, and console lid?

 

[eleanor5oh]

Nobody? Have we even seen an interior that had redline recaro's yet? I know someone posted a seat a few pages back.

Well from what I've gathered, the Redline Recaro Option Only Gets the Red Stitching. There have been No Pictures of the Redline Recaro Interior other than the Front Seats. I tried building and pricing one on the Configurator and I couldn't tell the Difference between the Redline Recaros and the Ebony Recaros. I'm guessing the stitching will be Red on the Front and Back Seats, and the Door Inserts, as well as the Shift Boot, Console Lid/Arm Rest, and the I.P. Eyebrows like on the Premiere Trim Option. It makes Zero Sense for Ford to put a Big Bright Red Door Insert or Bright Red Rear Seats in a Car that has Black Front Seats with Only Red Stitching.

 

[eleanor5oh]

Agreed I certainly wouldn't want big red leather panels, just the stitching through-out the rest of the car to complement the seats.

Has anyone heard anything definitive on the Redline Recaros..... seems like everyone is just guessing on this? I am planning to order them but not if the door panels and back seats are going to have the red leather inserts. I was under the impression it's just the red stitching.

 

[DivineStrike]

Your best assumption is that they are red inserts. Any talk about just getting red stitching has been hearsay and wishful thinking. Nothing official or written anywhere unless Brian has answered this in the Q&A thread by now.
