Being a larger than than average chap (6ft 3, 19 1/2 stone) and build like a rugby player the buckets on the 992.1 were always a little too snug (tight) for me. Mainly around the thigh area (mine are pretty big.

| see that the 992.2 buckets are different.

Is this just asthetics or are they any bigger?

I think they are actually tighter. I've had a.1 with 918 buckets and I sat in the new ones a few weeks back and they 100% felt tighter

To add to this, they felt more snug around the shoulders / upper torso for me. I think best thing to do is find a car with them that is close to you and give the seats a go. Weirdly I feel they look bigger than the 918 buckets but did not feel like that at all.

It's the 18 ways for me then!

Was always my intention, due to not being much of a track day driver.

Was just curious.

The new seats are definitely narrower and I think the belt buckle is lower in the seat aperture.
Quite often I manage to push it down / forward when getting in maker it a right faff plugging the belt in!!

Yes, a bit tighter. here are mine:


My 997 7.2RS was a bit more commodious:

The 18 ways are far more comfortable if you are not tracking a lot.
