OEM Porsche Leather Recaro seats by 311RS
First shown here in a Porsche 991 GT3 by 311RS, we're proud to launch the 311RS-spec Recaro bucket seat. These are built using OEM materials - leather, alcantara, and stitching, along with a factory-like seat cover design. The idea for these came about after our first track day sliding around with factory 18-way seats.
The goal was to deliver an aftermarket Recaro bucket seat with factory fit and finish at a fair price. OEM Porsche seats can be hard to come by and in today's market at quite a premium. With Recaro-specifc seat mounts available for most Porsche models, we're extending the program beyond the 991 GT3 platform.
The seats shown are Recaro's Profi XL model. The owner of this particular 991 GT3 is on the taller side at 6'4", which meant we needed a larger bucket to fit him properly. They fit great yet at the same time fit a 5'10 & 6'1" frame just as well. For compact drivers, we also offer the Recaro Pole position seat with this same treatment.
Below is a quick rundown of the seats on offer, with more info on our website here - http://www.311rs.com/product-release...-recaro-seats/
311RS-spec Recaro bucket seat
- Available in Recaro Profi XL & Pole Position models
- Available in most OEM Porsche materials - leather, alcantara, & stitching
- Vintage Porsche leather, tartan, houndstooth, etc. also available
- Embroidery & embossing options for headrest (shown with 311RS logo)
- Seat cover designed & built in USA

- Single seat orders available at $3,180

- Each Recaro seat from 311RS is built to order. Please contact us for current lead time.
If you have any questions about the seats, by all means just ask. We'd love to see a few 997 GT3 with these puppies installed. Our 997 GT3 will soon have a pair.
Below are a few examples we've built for RL members -
Red stitch for a 991 GT3:

pretty awesome

love this option - I'm 6'5 and need recline functionality. Do you have anything that will recline?

Joking aside we can offer a Recaro Sportster CS which does recline. The Profi XL is designed to fit large framed folks - take a look at the dimensions for an idea of fitment. We built a set for a 6'4"/250lb client and they fit nicely once he was in the seat.
Pictured are Profi XL seats. However, Pole Positions are also on offer. If we can get orders for two more sets by Weds, we can offer an $125/seat discount as we'll be able to place a bulk order. Any questions, just ask. We're happy to help.

Why would you title the thread OEM Porsche Leather Seats when the contents are clearly not? Fine job with the embroidery, but I'm not a fan of the bait-n-switch.

The thread is titled perfectly - OEM Porsche Leather Recaro seats by 311RS. We recover new Recaro bucket seats with covers custom built using factory Porsche leather (along with factory alcantara and factory stitching thread). If you feel mislead, that was not our intent and hope this clears it up for you.

These are outstanding alternatives to dropping serious $$$ on OEM's!
Any chance you've done a set of these with houndstooth inserts? Basically this exact seat with houndstooth replacing the black alcantara. Would be going into a 997.2 GT3.
