GTS Configuration - Sear Cooling w/ Alcantara?
Is it possible to configure GTS with front seat cooling and Alcantara? I can't figure it out.....

Nope.
Seat ventilation is only available if the seat centers are leather.

IMO after owning both do the leather with ventilation. The alcantara is hard to slide in and out of and the ventilation is cool.

I agree -^
I am definitely a fan of seat ventilation.

If I lived in a hot weather area, I’d perhaps do the ventilation. However, nothing is worse than getting into a car when it’s freezing out and jumping onto frozen leather seats. The alcantara is much warmer hopping into the car on a cold day, and cooler jumping in on a hot summer day. My wife’s Cayenne has ventilated seats, and I almost never use them when in her car.

It's a very polarizing subject so it's each to their own. I prefer Alcantara to the point that it's a deal breaker, for me. I've had vented leather but leather is too slippery, for me. Alcantara is ok in summer, the material breathes well and no leg burns when getting in.

I was going to order a Macan GTS and wanted it to have the leather seats with ventilation. My dealer called me up with a great deal on a slightly used GTS which had Alcantara.. I ended up taking the slightly used Macan.. though I live in Canada where half the time I have my seater heaters on and having ventilated seats isnt a huge deal breaker.

I always thought ventilated seats was a silly, money wasting option that old men ordered on Cadillacs. Then a few hears ago I had a DE student with a then brand new 2013 991 take me out for a session on a hot, muggy August at Road America. Right then and there I added it to my 2014 991S order sheet! And I have it in my Macan GTS, too.
