I deleted seat heat and stitched leather seat backs. Order only increased $2170.

How much lighter are these seats compared to the 4-way? I believe, the 4-way is lighter by 25 lbs. compared to the 18-way

Just a heads up - these are not available until November build slots at the earliest. At least that's what my dealer says.

It will be the rare GT3 with these seats, that's for sure!

It kills me, but I'm in the process of having my build delayed to add the seats.

Ugh!

I was afraid of that. My build is nov so I hope it works. Otherwise I'll try to delay it.

I had these seats in my '11 RS and they were reasonably comfortable for an hour. They were very up right and locked you in place. Having said that I don't track my cars and I thought they looked cool but were a pain on the street. I am not changing mine.

Awesome that these seats are becoming available. It will be interesting to see what they cost outright from the dealer for those of us that may want to retrofit. I have a deal to buy them at dealer invoice.

I'd caution those who are making assumptions about what features are included in the seats by comparing to the 918 configurator. I'm not saying they won't have electric height adjustment, but just recall that we've been through something similar with the memory feature (or lack of) on the 18 way seats.....

The previous folding GT2 sport buckets were about 20lbs lighter (for the pair) than the stock 4 way seats. Depending on the design of the new seats, and whether they have electric height adjustment or not, that may change, but it's probably in the ballpark.
