Are you referring to additional racks/bars that attach to the rails? In US spec the Roof Rails are available in either aluminum or black.
No, I'm referring to the actual "racks" that attach to the bars/rails referenced above. I spec'd the roof rails in black aluminum, but to make use of them I need something to attach to it.Are you referring to additional racks/bars that attach to the rails?

The standard roof transport system has black feet and silver aluminium cross bars which generally would be 'disguised' when adding a roof box, cycle carrier etc.
I suspect they won't be for a while due to some commercial arrangement between themselves and Porsche. The new cycle carrier is Thule design / manufactured (as was the previous one for trailer hitches) but you still can't source for Taycan / Taycan CT.
The picture of the bars in the configurator show silver aluminum bars. But, the catalog entry in the "Parts" section of any online Porsche dealer indicates "Roof Carrier Black - Porsche (9J0-860-159-OK1)" bars. Unfortunately the dealer listings don't seem to have pictures.
The cross bars from Suncoast are silver - https://www.suncoastparts.com/product/sku9j1ctrack.html
Love your car, by chance when was initially looking at the Taycan a mutual friend I believe sent me this photo. I was going to go Mamba but in the end I want the burgundy leather so set on Gentian now. In fact think only visible difference will be that I’ve specced the black CT off road pack (mainly for the amount of unsurfaced gravel ridden UK roads than an intention of actual off-roading ?). What sort of range with it on at 120kmph are you getting by the way? Do hope to have a few ski trips from the UK in it ?.I got the Porsche ones and as above they have black plastic housing with silver bars. You don’t really notice with the roof box on as it’s so big, black and shiny!
Honestly I didn’t notice much difference with the roof box on - maybe 5-10% worse? I’m getting 400-450km of range (20kWh/100km) without it in regular driving. Maybe 350-400km (22kWh) if all at 120+ With roof box on?
Looking forward to getting the Winter tyres on it and doing the Verbier hairpins on the snow
