992.2 touring models will have the option of rear seats as long as LWB seats are not chosen.

Amen. Plenty of 911 options if back seats are important.

The reason given for two seats is that the scope of the car would need to be compromised to allow for the weight of two adults in the back. It would be a bummer if the GT3, even in Touring form, continues to become less focused as the pure DRIVER'S car in the lineup. They should be going the other way with it: Federalizing roll bars, club sport package, expanding lightweight materials for 'regular' GT products, etc.

And making it appeal to a wider audience will of course increase demand, and with it ADMs.

Sorry but this just doesn’t make sense to me. 1) I don’t think anyone is saying make the GT3 less of a drivers car or that Porsche should optimize for the weight of people (ie kids) in the back. 2) No 911 is built to have 2 adults in the back - what adults actually fit back there? 3) if the car appeals to more people who cares? if ADMs go up who cares? It’s a free market - if the car appeals to more people who are willing to pay more all of a sudden because magically they can have back seats then so be it. It’s simple - pay the price and order the car exactly the way you want it.

I do agree with your other points though in making those options (more lightweight materials etc) available as well.

sounds like "cool" status conscious parents who need attention might as well drive a Cybertruck. I see too many poseurs out there driving GT3 as it is. The Touring is such a ridiculous concept to begin with.

No posing here.
I'm not saying the next GT3 will have rear seats as an option, but it would be cool.

12 years ago I used those rear seats a bunch, here I am with my three,

Yes I know it's not a GT3 but I'd rather bein a 911 than a minivan!

Oh yes, I drive my Touring when I want attention and to display "status". Not because it makes a great DD, and it looks just like a base 911. No modern Porsche is a status symbol.

I like RBR and will continue to watch his channel, but I do not like the style of these rear seats. Also did not notice the green stitching on the Cohiba. Interesting choice for sure.

He did not spec it himself. He bought it used.
