Default New LWB's for 992.2 GT3 from Mission X?

Would love these in 992.2 GT3:



Looks like the sides are built right into the tub, so maybe this is impossible in the 992. But would be nice to carry over the general design and bolsters...

Reminds me of the Recaro Podium's a bit...

I'd be very surprised if those exact designed seats actually make it into production on the car.

I believe they said that car is coming “maybe” by 2030?

Slim chance they debut the Mission X anything not on the Mission X, especially on a 992. Maybe the next gen.

The Minority Report dentist vibe. 1k miles in 5 years, ready to trade.

Gunter, our buckets are too functional, can you make them also not move up and down or back and forth? Danke Gunter.

Not a fan of the seats.

And what is this fascination with putting a yoke instead of a steering wheel in road cars with street appropriate steering ratios? Makes no sense at all.

It’s so the owners can pretend their road to Grocery Outlet Bargain Market is Le Mans.

Is it me or does it seem like Porsche is increasingly trading heritage for "the future", making their designs more on the me-too side of the equation? That steering wheel and those seats, along with the doors and the rest of the car are a departure from Ferry's "form follows function" mantra.

Not a fan of the steering wheel (done for gauge visibility, I’m guessing), but the seats look very functional to me.

Those seats don't look comfortable but I'm curious how they feel. No way the real car will get that steering wheel.

I would hope not. But Telsa did it. I think Lexus is doing it or at least thinking about doing it.

IMO, it's nuts. I would never buy a road car with a yoke, I don't care if they use variable steering ratio or whatever. It's literally reinventing the wheel for no reason.
