The part-leather standard seats offer a high degree of comfort with good lateral support and optimised under-seat suspension. Through bends, your seat gives you a feeling of security without restriction.

The seats are equipped as standard with manual height and fore/aft adjustment and an electric backrest adjustment, enabling virtually every driver to find the ideal seat position, regardless of physical build.

Comfort seats with electric fore/aft, height, backrest and lumbar support adjustment are available as an option. The tilt angle of the seat squab is also electrically adjustable. The memory function supports both exterior mirrors and all seat positions on the driver’s side.

Using the control switches in the door panel, it is possible to restore one of two personalised settings. Additionally, you can store a further seat position in each of the ignition keys.

As soon as you unlock the door using the key remote, the seat and exterior mirrors resume their stored position.

The sports seats have firmer upholstery than the standard design. Higher side bolsters on the seat squab and backrest provide additional lateral support. The seat height and fore/aft position is adjusted manually, the backrest electrically.

The optional adaptive sports seats combine excellent comfort with first-rate track performance. Along with all the adjustment features of the comfort seats, the side bolsters on the seat surface and backrest are individually electrically adjustable, for increased comfort on long journeys and tailor-made lateral support through bends or on the racetrack. The memory function supports both exterior mirrors and all seat positions on the driver’s side, apart from the side bolsters.

For the ultimate sports experience, you could opt for sports bucket seats with a folding backrest, integral thorax airbag and manual fore/aft adjustment. The backrest shell is made from glass/carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic and has a stylish carbon-weave finish. The backrest pivots are positioned high in the side bolsters to provide lateral support to the pelvic region characteristic of a race seat. In contrast to conventional bucket seats, the folding backrest enables easy access to the rear luggage area. The seat upholstery is offered in all available leather types and colours.

For standard seats and comfort seats, optional seat ventilation is available (only in conjunction with heated seats). A slipstream effect is produced by active ventilation of the perforated seat centre and backrest and by passive aeration at the side bolsters. This evaporates perspiration moisture and therefore makes for a comfortable seating environment, even in hot weather. Ventilation intensity can be set to any of three levels and simultaneous ventilation and heating is possible.

As an option, all compatible seats – apart from sports bucket seats – can be equipped with two-level seat heating. Seats are heated in the seat squab, backrest and side bolsters.

The rear seats of the 911 models are surprisingly comfortable for a sportscar. The backrests are foldable and the large shelf behind offers additional storage space. With the backrests folded, the 911 Coupé and Cabriolet models provide you with plenty of space for your luggage (205 litres and 155 litres, respectively).

Child seats with ISOFIX mountings can be fitted to the front passenger seat. Through Porsche Tequipment you can order fittings, a deactivation function for the front passenger airbag and a full range of child seats.

* No child seats can be used in conjunction with the sports bucket seat.
