^^^We'd all likely be safer driving around in tanks, kids or not. Personally bought a full-sized RR in large part because it feels like a vault to transport kiddos around on a regular basis. However, when my kids (ages 8 and 9) ride in back of my 991 GTS for the occassional joy ride... I certainly do not feel as though I'm risking their lives. Feels quite safe actually, and the seat belts fit them just about perfectly, not too high, as though they were designed to fit children.
However unlikely a GT3 "touring" edition.... sign me up. Although I have nothing against the wing, the back seats would be a welcome addition to help fill rear void. Don't believe they weigh too much either. (Ex-wing I think Porsche would have to re-work those large rear air intakes. Wing helps hide them now.)
I will have quite the dilemma on my hands if I'm ever lucky enough to be allocated a .2 GT3 at MSRP though...

I don't let them drive with me in the GT3s BUT I am very considerate and if the back had seats then the cushions would make them more comfortable while I trap them behind seats until they agree to clean my back windows.....little buggers are only ones that fit the small space.

How is that risking their lives? It's within your control how you drive with them in the car.
They think the Cayenne is comfortable, can't take both of them in the Spyder, and they liked the 911 better.
I still remember getting to drive in a friend's dad's 911 as a kid - the sound, the straight line acceleration, how cool it was in the back like a cocoon.

Rear seats would be so cool for occasional kid rides and have absolutely no negatives - no meaningful extra weight or space taken.
On the other hand, what's the reason to get rid of the wing? I have not seen any drawbacks to it. This wing-consciousness reminds me of a guy I knew who thought that if he wore anything that was not white, black or perfectly gray, people would judge. The truth is that it almost universally looks better with colors/wing, almost no one notices it, out of those who notice most like it, and that uptight >1% who notice it and judge you for it hate themselves more than they hate the wing/colors anyway. Enjoy having a car with some soul and character.

I've already added the touring package to my order -- it's listed as "Bose" in the configurator.

Exactly. My weekend car also happens to be my weekday car. I just want to be able to take my kids in it every now and then rather than having to take the SUV every time its more than just me.

Fully understand, it would significantly increase the occasions you could drive the car

I'm sorry guys but it says nothing about rear seats, it just posts what clubsport means for the car. Nothing inclines there will be backseat.
Someone here said its better to go safe in a macan or something with children, this thing is for tracking and inspired driving. If im wrong please correct me!
Touring package is in europe no new term for the gt3, it has always meant sofas without cage. Different story in us where as i understand you can't have cage from factory. Sorry if i ruined you guys hope.
