It doesn't look like it will flow with the 964's lines... but it's your car and if you think you will need a racing seat, then by all means.

But if it were me I'd look for some GT3 seats to stick with Porsche.

It looks HUGE! The distance between the door and the center console is not that great, you better check dimensions to see if it fits. My racing seat (gets installed for DE's) is the Sparco Evo II, and the side bolster just touches the door.

BTW...I, also am not a fan.

not my cup of tea, but then again it is your car and your money!

I love the Sportster CS for example, but just am so unsure if it is too modern or not. A recent poster, I think eurowise, had them installed and they look great but I'm still on the fence!

I am not a fan of the racing seat either, I posted the wrong Pic....was thinking about the Sparco R-333's in black. The Sparco writing is in black so looks more like a regular seat but might be too aggressive in it's lines. Might just be better to get some nice used Porsche seats.

Looks like one of those seats that have a coat hanger built in. Hideous to my eyes. Don't do it ! Much better in a Nissan !!!

That seat would look great in a Nissan GT-R. Not really suited to the 964. I would keep looking.

I think the Recaro Pole Position is the perfect seat for a 964 that is getting driven on the track. They just look right, especially in leather.

agreed. Would like to actually sit in one though, as I'm quite tall for the seat according to everything I've read (6'3")
