I've seen some GT3s with what appear to be factory bolt in, pretty substantial looking, roll bars in the back.

Was this a factory option or an aftermarket fitment? If so who?

Does anyone make them with bolt in front sections as well?

No listing in the 991 GT3 options.

It's the clubsport package. Not yet available in the US. ROW it's an option

It's a no cost option in Europe if you select the Bucket seats, which aren't available yet in the U.S. Look for example at the German or UK configurator. There you can see the option.

Club Sport package as an option...for ROW.

Thanks

Do you think this may become an option in the US? Did it become an available option in the US in past GT3s? Or does DOT kill it?

Arth

Yes it will. Eventually

Suzy991

I guess it will be an option when the Bucket seats become available in the U.S. Have no idea when that will be to be honest, but there are threads about it here on RL if I'm correct.

The sport buckets will eventually be available in the US but I doubt that the clubsport package with roll bar will be. It hasn't been available here in the past AFAIK.

Suzy991

Interesting... didn't know that. Is that because of different regulations for the U.S.?

Heard today from my premier tech that the rear cage will eventually be offered thru p motorsport at stupid money FWIW...

RSS will have one available soon and BBI already has a cool looking one.

NO. Never has been, and never will be.

US DOT requires everything inside the cabin be soft and/or deformable to minimize head injury in an impact, so no roll bars.

US DOT does not allow Plexiglas, either, which has historically been another element of the Club Sport package.

Mike in CA

Yes. It's a US Department of Transportation thing. See Alan's post. An advantage of living where you do.

Hahaha, but we have to pay a lot more
I would rather buy a GT3 without clubsport package for $135k than one with the package for the swiss price, which is $195k (ex. VAT)
