Porsche STYLE CGT 997 911 GT3 GT2 carbon bucket Leather Look seats Turbo Recaro
Porsche Carrera GT (CGT) Style aftermarket seats. These are distinct from the factory folding buckets because they replicate the iconic, deep-bolstered look of the seats found in the Carrera GT supercar.
Because genuine CGT seats can cost upwards of on the used market, “Style” seats are a popular high-end alternative for 997, 991, and Turbo builds.
Product Features & Aesthetics
-
The “CGT” Silhouette: Unlike standard Recaro Pole Positions, these feature the signature shoulder “wings” and the distinct vertical stitch pattern found in the 2004–2006 Carrera GT.
-
Carbon Fiber Shell: Usually finished in a high-gloss 3K carbon weave, providing a motorsport look visible from the rear window.
-
Leather Look/Synthetic Leather: Often used for durability and cost-effectiveness, offering the premium aesthetic of Nappa leather with higher resistance to sun damage and wear.
-
Weight Savings: Typically weigh between 7kg and 10kg (15–22 lbs) per seat, significantly lighter than factory “Sof-Touch” or Adaptive Sport Seats.
Compatibility & Fitment
These seats are “Universal” in spirit but are usually adapted for Porsche cabins using specific hardware:
| Component | Requirement for 911 (997/991) |
| Brackets | Side-mount brackets are mandatory to bolt to the sliders. |
| Sliders | Can often reuse OEM sliders or require Recaro/Aftermarket sliders. |
| Resistors | Crucial: Since these lack side airbags, you will need “Airbag Delete” resistors to prevent the SRS warning light on your dash. |
| Seatbelts | Compatible with standard 3-point belts, but designed for 4/5/6-point harnesses. |
