Back seat for 991 GT3

[adamGT3]

Hi guys,

I have a 991 GT3 coming in September if the bloody engine arrives in time. I am also expecting my 1st new born in January. There will be a 2nd car at home however there will be times that I want to take the family out in the GT3.

Does anybody know if it’s possible to retrofit the back seats or just for child seats at the back, I did add the ISOFIX at the front but there isn’t anything for there rears. I intend to keep this car for a long time and looking to enjoy it with the family as my DD with occasional track use.

I am based in the London area but willing to commute where necessary to get this done. Any advise will be appreciated.

Thanks

I think JZM did this in the past for an owner of a 997.1 GT3, might be worth giving them a call.

Also worth considering the insurance position ? I'd guess most of the non-specialist insurers would be unhappy about "adding seats", even though the real position is more like "putting the seats that Porsche took out, back in".

997 thread here:

No insurance issues.

I thought there was an issue with the rear of the 991 GT3 being 'single-skin' unlike the 997??

997.1 GT3 double-skinned, 997.2 GT3 single skinned.

This question seems to arise quite often wrt GT3s (should be a factory option ) and although it may be do-able, I don't think many actually go through with it. BTW, you'd need to notify your insurers.

Mannings in the UK don't have a problem with this modification from an insurance point of view as long as carried out properly. I enquired earlier this year. I'm not 100% but thought you could only do it on a 997.1 GT3 not a 997.2 due to the double vs single skin, but happy to be corrected.
