Try the fully adaptive seats; I love them, infinite amount of adjust-ability - can really tighten the side of the base and back for spirited driving and great on long journeys.
quite a bit heavier than sport bucket seats though ..Seriously do you think you could tell the difference in performance between two otherwise identical cars - how much weight do the seats save? Probably less than a good dump in the morning before you set off!

I doubt your PCCBs save that much weight

Consider the extra weight of full leather (all that stitching!), metallic paint, PDK?, auto dim mirrors with 'brain' sensor, seat heating (esp with adaptive seats with all those elec motors....), dynamic headlamps, Bose etc etc....all performance blunting stuff......

I've got the 2-way electric sports plus seats in my S and find them far more comfortable than the identical looking adaptive sport seats I had in my 7 GT3. In fact, I rate them highly.
Too many combinations on the adaptives I think - I used to be gutted when it went for a service and they moved everything - to have the 18-way(?) jobs again, I would have to have memory on them?

And yet, the 'lightweight' 987 Cayman R was a mere 55kg lighter than standard. Most folks added a/c which reduced that weight saving to 43kg.
That said, the base weight was always lighter (especially spyder compared to boxster s), so adding bits like a/c wasn't too bad. You're unlikely to have an option free boxster s, so compared with a lightweight specced spyder the difference will be a lot more.The other talk of seats. The buckets have been excellent, really comfortable even on long drives. They fit so well and look great.
