How would you spec your 992 GTS?

[turbospud]

you lose the back seats when you spec buckets

Are you certain? It doesn’t say that specifically in the config.

Doesn’t seem logical as my 997 GTS has buckets and rear seats?

[akadk]

Or is it because the 918 seats don’t fold ? And they don’t offer the folding buckets ?

The 997 folding seats are the previous folding type where rear seats could be retained as opposed to the 992GTS ones which are non folding.

It does detail it in the configurator. I have highlighted the pertinent point in the attached.

Could I fit my folding 997 buckets ?

I enquired and was advised I could expect delivery in June/July for an order placed now

Does that seem correct ?

Here is my spec

How do you change the colour of the brake callipers?

[W4NTED]

By adding Ceramic brakes!

It's a shame they are not foldable like the ones in the 997 used to be ... Why would they do that?
In the same vein, shame the GT3 Touring can't be specced with rear seats ....

Also, if you don't spec PCCB, then you can specify to have callipers painted gloss black instead of the red if that takes your fancy.

Ah, bit of an expensive option when all I want is some green callipers haha.

I think you lose the back seat on both lightweight packages even if spec the 18 ways. Anyone can confirm this?

the biggest weight saving from the lightweight package is the deleting the rear seats,hardly worth the bother on a car weighing 1500kg

Completely… lightweight is a bit of a gimmick proportionately to the weight of the car when 25Kgs could be the difference between a chubby driver or having a small passenger or not…

I’m speccing RWS but not the lightweight package as I want the versatility of the rear seats which is one of the big positives of the 911 (as is the relative comfort of non bucket seats)

Won’t make any real difference at the track…

No clue the 991.2 GTS used the folding buckets and they were perfectly good
Seems like just a way to make even less GTS come with the buckets which is a shame as they really suit the car imo and allow give a more mini GT car like feel

The only 992 GTS Coupes I have seen in the UK now, are the press cars one yellow red and i think there is a black one. Oct was the first OPC build month so i would expect to see customer cars later this month.
