I'd get them, it'll broaden it's appeal. It costs nothing to get them now or to remove them.
Adding later certainly isn't a no cost option!

Agreed - I have specced them in mine although at 19 and 16, I suspect my "children" won't be troubling them often!

Rear seats all the way IMO, it's the 911 USP

Yep the Spyder fixed buckets suit the car but imo are too expensive for an £86k 911 and doubtful whether you would recoup on resale.

The folding buckets are a better seat but absence of bargain price T pack with these as an option is bad news.

As others have said the standard comforts are best with rear seats optioned which can always be removed so a no brainer.

Or, as I have said, get what you want.
Folding buckets and rear seats for the win!

I've just been told that I should let my dealer have my final spec within the next 48 hours. I asked if they were having any delivered soon so that I could see it in different specs before I locked mine but apparently, according to him, all of them will be built at around the same time. Mine is due to be built early March for an end March/early April delivery.

He also said that the factory is not allowing any further allocations. Mine is a large dealership and they have a total of 6. How many dealerships are there in the UK?

Sounds right.

I wonder will they build any from September on, or will it be the 992 carrera in basic & s form initially!

get rear seats, they save barely any weight and they are easy to remove if you really want to.

don't think too much about resale either, these are unlikely to go for a big premium

Been offered a cancelled slot today for a T which I'm currently mulling over. I'm torn between having and not having the rear seats. Not having them enhances the USP and is the way I leaning at the moment but not having them may make the car harder to sell. I'd be interested to know what other people have done.

the usp is limited numbers

I was told on Saturday that my build slot had been moved forward due to the factory shut down and that there would be no more Carrera Ts after they reopen.

My dealer got 4 in the end.

Mine is now due at the start of March

Hi

Very proud to say I certainly have. It was not a car that I was up for at at first. But whist I have great fun on the road in my 991R. Its hard to get track day cover at a reasonable cost. The more looked to this car it made perfect sense.

Gone for Launch Spec, with a few other bits. March Build.......
