Default 718 GTS Bucket Seats in North America???
I was just messing around with the Porsche North America Car Configurator for the 718 GTS and it now shows an option for the Full Bucket Seats (never available in NA, except on the GT cars and Carrera T). Should I assume this is an error, just like the 20x11.5 rear wheel sizes that show up on the configurator or are these now offered as an option?

I saw this too; the Full Bucket Seats also show as available on the 718 Boxster GTS, but not on the 911 GTS variants. It would be fantastic if it's an actually-available option...

Would be awesome but it could be related to the rumored 718T if it follows the 911T option wise.

My bet is data input error.

There have been many in the past few weeks.

Speculation with regard to the 718-T may have something to it.

Still there. So maybe they are adding it for real? That'd be super cool to have.

LWBs still listed as an option
So if it is a glitch, it certainly hasn’t been fixed
even weeks later.

Anyone spec them for a build?

Im thinking of calling my local dealer to see if I can get confirmation.

Makes the T even less special! But I understand why they did it. Why should a lower model (T) have it available and not the GTS? IIRC, ROW is this way... buckets available for most models. Also it’s might be to fill the gap for the supplier... as no current volume model other than the T uses them?

Update: It looks like the configurator has been updated and now features the bucket seats (including pictures and pricing) for the GTS models.

Ditto. I should have waited just a little longer. Oh well.

I really wish they'd make buckets an option for every single car in the model range much like you can in the other world markets (or at least Europe).
