Initial impression is not favorable.
Seems way too "luxury-like" for a hardcore motorsport car.
Center console reminds me of the Panamera. Heck even the script Porsche on the rear decklid over logo GT3 reminds me of a Panamera.
I guess Porsche is striving for a larger market and not just the motorsport enthusiasts.

The lack of availability of sport bucket seats in the 991 GT3 is really bad. They need to add that option asap.

My thinking is this: If I do 10 to 20 track days a year, that leaves a lot of non-track days for which I wouldn't mind having some luxury-like features.

Are you 100% no sport bucket seats? Man, that is silly for a GT3. What are they trying to do have you upgrade to a RS for the track...

My 2007 seats look a lot like the ones in the video and I find them supportive enough for track days.

I have nicknamed the new 991 as the "991 Panamera". From the inside, they pretty look the same, sound the same and to be honest drive the same. Very disappointed in that. Also, by my count when seating in a Panamera GTS, there are 82 buttons within the reach of the driver to press. That is just............................

Thx for sharing, not convinced on the center console, doesn't look like a real sports car, more luxury car as others here have said... I do like the TFT in the dials though, would be interesting to know what info an be displayed there and if its just a summary of what's on the Nav screen in the center or completely independent.....

Keep in mind this car is designed to be used as a daily driver. I can understand the complaints of the interior if the car was designed primarily for the track. Personally, I love the interior and will opt for the deviated red stitching when I order it hopefully in September.
