GT2 seats option

So the new GT2 bucket seats are now available to purchase from porsche for just abotu any vehicle. Does anyone know exacty how much they weigh?
I know the carrera gt seats (aka european spec gt3RS seats) at about 22lbs each (10kg), as stated directly on the porsche brochure.

Anyone got the lowdown on the gt2 seats?

Where have you seen these in BMWs and used for $2k? They haven't even been released as "parts" yet - the first sets are just now arriving. Perhaps you mean seats that look like these? I'm not being smart, genuinely interested to know if this is a design that's "out in the market" (ie: A Recaro seat that Porsche is using, but is available elsewhere).

I am near certain the sport bucket seats are exclusive to Porsche. BMW has some sport seats that are available as a dealer installed aftermarket item, but they are not like the Porsche seats. From what I've seen, the Porsche sport buckets are like no other seat yet developed. I like them so much, I'd get them even if I wasn't going to track the car.

I know a gut that is running a set of 996 GT3 Seats in the his Z4 M. He is too tall with his helmet on to sit in the stock seats.
