The standard seats on a gt3 use the manually operated lever to pump the seat up and down. There is no rake adjustment with the standard seats. The seat back adjustment is electric, that's it.

Thanks, that's good to know. It's not the first time that the GT3 configurator provided incorrect information. I'll send an email to porsche.com and try to get them to corrected it.

Here's a picture of the standard 991 GT3 seat. I've marked the three controls. Obviously A is the manual fore/aft adjustment and C is the electric backrest adjustment. Until I saw 911dev's post, I had thought that C was the electric height adjustment. Is that what C does? Or is the seat height adjusted by manually pumping lever A?

unless changed for the 991.

the seat center has been Alcantara, not smooth leather as stated above.

If that's the new seat in the GT3 then it is different from the 997s (both gens). It would appear electric **** 'B' will adjust height and maybe some rake. 997s had the classic pump bar which adjusted height while simultaneously minimally affecting rake. This would make sense as the base seat in the Carrera is the same, correct?

All GT3 literature that I have or seen which include Porsche internal and product update documents for the dealers, state that these seats have electric Height Adjustments.

Cheers,

Thanks for confirming what I wrote 10 days ago.

great to know what to expect with the 991 standard seat. the electric height adjustment may be nice but end of the day, offers no more flexibility that the pump lever. Rake adjusts as the seat rises and lowers like the 997 standard seats. I will actually miss the old school lever. That (levered) seat probably weighs a couple lbs less too.
