Available for auction is a pair of OEM Porsche Folding Carbon Bucket Seats finished in black leather with black stitching and embossed Porsche crests on the headrests. These rare RoW (Rest of World) specification seats are identical to the U.S. 997-spec versions, with the exception that the passenger seat originally lacked an occupancy sensor, which was later added along with the necessary modules to run without codes in a 991.2.
During the seller’s ownership, they were installed in a 997 with the passenger occupancy sensor coded off as stated by the seller. No longer in production, these lightweight, heated carbon buckets offer an exceptional blend of comfort, performance, and style.
The seller states the leather and bolsters remain in near-perfect condition, while the carbon backs show only minor scratches, making this an excellent opportunity to acquire one of Porsche’s most desirable and hard-to-find seat options. Please confirm fitment prior to bidding. The buyer is responsible for tariffs, duties, customs, shipping, shipping insurance, handling, transactional fees or any miscellaneous fees.

I think you will need these adapters for the stock rails.

Can't speak to any of the electronics though
Do you know if these will work in a 993 turbo? I current have GT3 996 seats in the car.

Yes. There is a thread on Rennlist with a DIY the previous owner followed. https://rennlist.com/forums/991/1078593-gt2-bucket-in-991-2-a-8.html#post16339172
Were these actually installed in a 991.2 at some point? Just hoping to confirm whether they will plug in with full functionality without coding in a 991.2 (despite the description saying why the harness was added). I.e., did it actually work out? Thanks

Thanks for viewing my auction!
Like the listing description mentioned, these 991 RoW folding carbon buckets are physically identical to the US spec 997 version without a passenger occupancy sensor. All of the 991 RoW seats came heated.
The previous owner bought these new, shipped them from Germany and added the necessary occupancy sensor and modules to use in a 991.2 without any dash lights. I used them in my 997 with no dash lights by simply coding the passenger occupancy sensor off (essentially the car thinks there is always someone in the passenger seat and will still deploy airbags in the event of a crash). A 5 minute job with a Durametic, Fowell, or PIWIS.
These will drop into about every modern 911 or Cayman from the 996 on forward!
The seats are in excellent condition. Please have a look through the photos.
I was skeptical before I bought these but the hype around these seats is real! Super comfy, supportive, light, and stylish! I am regrettably selling these to help fund another car project.
I can pack and ship these anywhere in the US! If you are not in the continental US please reach out before bidding to discuss shipping options.
Best of luck!
