I'm pretty sure they are 964 Speedster seats.
Recaro Pole Positions?
or
Something else?

What is available in the aftermarket that looks very much like these?

Thanks.

Not sure, but your first two options. Gotta be one of those.

There look to be the Porsche OEM race shells based on Recaro PP/SPG that Porsche used on 964 Speedsters and 964/993 RS variants.

So the closest aftermarket seat would be a leather Recaro Pole Position. About $1300 a piece last time I checked. I had the cloth version in my RSA and loved them.

These seats were also standard on 968 turbo S.

You can see a bit of the plastic ribbing on the back of the seats; a dead give-away when comparing Pole Positions to Porsche OEM RS/GT/Speedster/CS seats.

Looks like the Pole Position, same in 993 RS too.

Ilko-- Texted you last week re: Parade. If your digits have changed, please PM me.

Craig-- Time for me to stop playing here in Monterey & make the drive to 993Fest. But first, seats:
No.
Yes.
Truth.
Click: "seats showcase: hardback bucket sport shells- Speedster, etc."
No worries; hope this helps!

Craig-- I also have the owner's contact info. If you want me to try to get any more details for you re: his stock Speedster or if I can do anything else to help, let me know.

Dude, why are you digging up a thread from 9 years ago on a different forum to look for my phone number? That's beyond creepy.

Craig- as others have told you those are the OE speedster seats. They are the same as the OE 964RS, 993RS & 968 Turbo S other than those seats have a solid bottom whereas the Speedster seats have a fabric fabric "trampoline" style bottom supposedly to make them slightly more comfortable. Great seats but bring HUGE $$. I have two sets, one for my RSA and one for my 993. I bought them years ago when pricing was reasonable, now I would buy Pole Positions for 20% the cost.

FYI - You can buy PPs with the three-color leather from the factory through the dealership network. I forget the details, but Google will help find the upholstery program. It was only something like $140 more for a pair and they do have black, dark grey, medium grey, and light grey (as well as others).

Thank you, but not looking to buy speedster seats, way too low ROI fro me and my use.

Thanks Nathan, I agree. $$$

OOOH, sounds interesting.

Cheers.
