Touring or not, this is a GT car. Buckets are a must IMO. Otherwise why not just do a GTS (or any other 911 with sofas) if comfort is what one seeks (I get it, I get, NA engine and all, but c'mon man, buckets FTMFW!)

I just voted 4-Ways and I had/have LWBs on my GT4 and now my .2. I actually like the 4-ways but i just think it suits the Touring better. I think the Buckets are cool looking and suit the more flashy Brother with the Wing.

If you are getting a GT3 Touring, or want to get one, which seats would you get, buckets (whether LWB or folding if you're in ROW) or sofas (whether 4-ways or 18-ways)?
This is not meant to be another general LWB v. sofas thread; that's been beaten to death already. It's about which seats you would want yourself in a GT3 with TOURING PACKAGE, regardless of what you have now or what you would get in a non-Touring Package GT3.
I'm asking because I'm torn. I like the LWBs and had planned on getting them in my 991.2 GT3—before the Touring Package was announced....
But now that I'm leaning toward getting the Touring Package, maybe sofas would be a better fit to the spirit of the car? This despite Porsche's (odd?) choice to have LWBs in the Frankfurt launch car as well as in the one other Touring Package car seen in official photos (the black one). In fact, kind of weird that there's not one photo out yet of a GT3 Touring package with seats other than LWBs.
Anyway, let the poll and the opinions begin!

I agree its still a GT car and should have LWBs. And a Touring can still do track duty and while I haven't seen the times, probably almost as well as the winged version.

Gorgeous SBM Touring. Congrats.
Visited dealer this week, sat in a few GT3s... The buckets fit me like a glove. Sat in one with 18-ways, they don't fit me at all. Feels like I'm sitting on top of the seat. And much prefer 4-ways over 18-ways because they feel more accommodating, but not nearly as snug as the buckets.
You have to pick the seats that are right for your body. Period.

Picking different seats just because there is or isn't a wing on the back of the car makes no sense to me. Comfortable or not? Type of use? Sure. But wing/no wing? Why would that have anything to do with anything?

Chris,i seem to remember you have the folding buckets in your winged PDKS clubsport yet you chose the fixed LWBS for your Touring..It seems more logical to do it the other way round as the folding buckets would allow access to the rear ..Not an issue with the clubsport as the cage takes the space anyway.
Fantastic photos of your GR Touring which truly shows off the Touring to perfection.

I ordered my GT3 to compliment my track used RS. As such it’s a street build ... manual, 4 ways...a Touring type build before it was known since I had an early September build. The LWBs are good for track, but being taller they are just torture for me when doing anything else. It was therefore an easy choice to get 4 ways to allow easy in/out, allow the room behind the seats to be actually used! Good luck putting anything back there with the LWBs other then a purse or helmet bag. If this was my only GT car I would get LWB, but because I have others I wanted the comfort and flexibility to use this car for trips and errands. 4 ways are awesome in comfort...and free.

Im liking this corduroy look more and more. Whilst they may not be so comfortable for some they do look the part touring or not. PS always wondered why they don't size the buckets for different people. Thats half the issue, we aren't all the average so not going to work everyone.
