Default Custom Bucket Seats?

All -

Did anyone see this article/announcement:
https://www.evoindia.com/news/car-ne...dprinted-seats

Correct me if I am wrong, but they should be providing this as an option from MAY?? I have been going crazy about which seats to order, and this may finally sort it...

Yes saw that also yesterday. May is first prototypes, then possibility to order... My guess is availability for MY 2021.

I’m really conflicted now. The seat is so integral to the driving experience..

Obviously there is no expert on the subject right now, but does anyone think you could swap out the base seats for these bucket down the road?

A custom bucket with some back support is exactly what I wanted. Ugh.

Very cool, but all custom as well, so if you thought the price of LWBS was high, what will these cost!

Trust Porsche to provide an even better seat, and TBW another option box to check...

These will debut on the 992 GT3... then later be introduced next gen 718. Don’t expect them on the 982.1... I expect them on the facelift 982.2 ICE and/or 983 EV.

update... scrap what I said... looks like they are no where near ready for production:

However, it will initially be available for use only on racetracks around Europe to get customer feedback and further develop the design.”

If you want to customize your seat, checkout P1Design. Great options for the LWB.

I have the classic interior with buckets incoming (hopefully June/July). Has anyone seen a good insert to go with this combo (eg inserts that look good with red leather seats)? Don't love alcantara. Exterior is chalk

Thanks, that’s helpful. Mind sharing your source?

Do you think they will be offering these as a retrofit as well?
