Porsche 997/987 Sport Seats Leather Black
For the Porsche 911 (997) and Boxster/Cayman (987), the “Sport Seat” refers to a specific mid-tier seating option between the standard “Comfort” seats and the hardcore “Carbon Bucket” seats. These are a favorite in the 2026 secondary market because they provide the ideal balance of daily comfort and track-day lateral support.
