Anyone going to spec the GTS style Sport Seats or is every 981 Spyder going to be with buckets this time around

Do you mean black leather with red stitching? That would be my choice with white as well, as it follows the brake calipers.

Subject to seeing it in the flesh hopefully before lock down I want something "Special" so my favourite number 1 choice is GT Silver with Classic Interior as much as I find the cost of this shade of silver a complete rip off

Have you seen that PTS has appeared on the Spyder configurator !

Maybe time for something EXTRA SPECIAL

OK, so what does PTS actually mean? Can you have any colour you want? How does it work?

The Sports Seats are great seats, but I reckon most of us are going to go with the buckets.

I've never had the buckets before, but from what I've been reading on the forums, the new LWBS seem to be causing back pain with quite a few owners of the GT3/GT4s.
I don't hear that ref the old buckets we are currently being offered on the Spyder.

Any one got any comments on this ??
Cheers

I believe Porsche have a list of colours that are approved.

Not sure what the process is for colours outside of the approved list.

Not experienced the lightweight buckets.

The buckets in the 987 Spyder are very comfortable I find. A very slight bit more effort getting in and out but I think most of that comes from trying not to scuff the outer edges.

I've noticed, too, that PTS is now an option on the Spyder, albeit an expensive one at circa £2800! I believe that opens up a host of colours, no doubt the blue one in an earlier post being one of them! Sadly, I am going to look though...

I'm up for PTS, have emailed OPC to get it under way as I understand it's normally only available for a short period.

Does this mean you can get the 911 'Sport Classic' grey? Is that a PTS colour?

Thanks for the feedback.

Any one else want to chip in with how comfortable the 987 Spyder buckets are ??

"The buckets in the 987 Spyder are very comfortable I find. A very slight bit more effort getting in and out but I think most of that comes from trying not to scuff the outer edges."

100% agree on this too. I find them better then the standard seats.

Closest is Modegrau (Fashion Grey) - and yes that's on the list

[2010spy]

Fashion Grey - sounds good, with grey strips up the bonnet!

[Akajak]

Thanks gentlemen...
Sounds like it's a no brainier to go with the "old" but comfy buckets then
