997 GT2 Sport Bucket Seat feeler

Hey guys,

We are starting to receive information from Porsche about the new GT2 Sport Buckets.

As you all probably know by now, these are the seats that can currently only be optioned in a new car. They are foldable bucket seats, with Carbon Fiber backs, and thorax airbags. Fitment will include all 986's, 987's, 996's, and 997's.

Now the part everyone wants to hear. For now, we're estimating pricing for a pair of black leather seats will be below $9k, which places them right in between the 996 and 997 GT3 seats we already sell. We have not talked to Porsche about Alcantara, or any colors other than black. In a few weeks they are going to start hitting our shores and I will be able to get a more solid price for you guys.

We have set ourselves up to receive the first batch that come into the states, so if you're interested in a set, PM me your name and email address. When they start to come in I will let everyone on the list know via email, and give them first crack at the seats.

Thanks guys!

Steve, does this mean there shouldn't be issues with airbag lights, etc?

jonasgranlund is infamous around these parts
I talked to Porsche in Sweden yesterday regarding the 997GT2 seats, they wanted
80 000sek / seat... = 160 000SEK, but they also had to buy the seats in parts so it would be an additional cost to asemmble the seats also...

160 000SEK is around 25 000USD.... I dont know what is up with the Swedish Porschedealers... Everything at Porsche in Sweden is possible to buy at half price on Porsche in US including the shipping...

This is only because Porsche is not selling GT2 seats at the moment.... only way is to build them from these parts, this is why they become so expensive.

Wait for a while, they will be in later, and You will be able to purchase then for much less
