Think I am in the minority but I wish I could spec the back seats and keep the wing. While the back seats aren't great for many occasions they do come in handy every now and the .

I'll say it once more to finally end this discussion.

The GT3 Touring will NOT have back seats.

Not quite alone, I'd seriously consider that, don't want to lose the wing but rear seat for the odd short trip would be really useful

RealityGT

I hope porsche doesn't get killed with lawsuits stemming from injured children should they include rear seats for this Touring option..

Oldmxnut

Excellent news. Thanks for the update. I don't have a locked build as yet either given manual preference but this sounds promising. (also Aus located)

if truly avail only w 6MT , it makes sense for company employee AP's PR-approved statement months ago that Porsche Motorsports is in the business of engineering GTx cars for driving pleasure -whatever that means for its end user - not as investment instruments ( ignore market reaction to production volumes/dealer allication )

it was most likely aimed at gently tamping short term valuation expecations of 911R owners and or its speculators, knowing a " manual only wingless GTx .2 " fraternal , not identical, twin of the .1 911R was already long signed-off

A rennlist cleaning lady has spoken.. can you tell us about the seat inserts also TomTomTom?

I think your analysis makes a lot of sense. Offering this package for just the MT and not PDK as well doesn't make much sense unless you have already backed yourself into a corner in terms of the intended niche each transmission must occupy. As it stands the Touring Package finds itself as a second tier 911R instead of a broader configuration option for the GT3.

For those of us with GT3 builds that will lock before September, any cost estimate to replace the wing with either the rumored 1. Boot lid rear deck or 2. Standard Carrera spoiler? Maybe it's worth a trip to the Parts counter, but realistically, I'll likely end up preferring the wing to the $6-$7k cost to replace it.

The Touring option sounds like a winner to replace my 50th, and I don't care about a back seat.

Correct--the Sport Classic will be the manual 4.0 you want with back seats. (if history is any guide)

MileHigh911

Make this GT3 touring package come in just 2 unique colors and different seating material and they will sell above the GT3 pricing.

I'm guessing the Sport Classic will be similarly limited to around 250 units like last time? It's a shame, I think that's the car everyone is going to want vs a GT3 sans tail.....or maybe just me...heh

TomTomTom

Sadly my cleaning lady is not working with the "press cars" and therefore all her interior knowledge is based on some botched up test mules.

She has not seen the final styling of the seat inlays but her money would be on houndstooth.

Tangerine

It's good and bad--I was debating if I could lose the 2 seats in the GTS or not. When the rumors started about backseats coming to [any car] with the NA 4.0 and 6-speed manual, it was very exciting.

I expect the Sport Classic will be that perfect car, but all go to the VIPs. I can't even get a GT3 allocation, no point even trying for something limited.

Still very happy with the 991.1 GTS--even more now that there won't be a way for mortals to get back seats in any NA Porsche going forward.

Suicide Jockey

If so, then yet another poke in the eye for R owners. Ouch.

The "poor man's" R is slowly coming to fruition. No wing -- check. Houndstooth -- check.

How long before we see a GT3 touring re-badged as an R
