Default Difference between regular seats and Sport Seats?

What exactly is the difference between the standard seats and the Sports Seats option? Is there a difference in the leather? Are they both adjustable the same ways (electrically)? Lumbar/heating? And most importantly, how do they feel - better support?

im sure you know what normal seats look/ feel like since they are on most cars.

these are the sports seats:

for me, they are much more supportive around the shoulder and abdomen during hard cornering, and you don't lose much adjustability, they do all the things the normal seats do, the leather/materials are the same

i have a pair for sale, $2000 brand new never used, black leather. PM me

(thanks per usuale to msindi, who has a great collection of pics)

I went to the Porsche dealership today to see if I could purchase sport seats and they told me they do not sell them put together and that no Porsche dealership does

I was hoping that if I get the car I've been looking at I could purchase matching grey sport seats since they not only look much nicer but are far more supportive.

msindi-

It's good you got it out of Shame-bers....it was supposed to be for sale there but it was in the back of the shop covered in dust. They gave a rat's *** less about your car and unfortunely it got damaged.

Remember how they refused to do warranty work on the car they sold me? Well, Clair Porsche wecomes the warranty work and could not be more professional. Georgette has seen the last of me and mine.

I guess we are high-jacking this thread.

Tomoogle, post something about seats will ya?
