Some of the Porsche owners may know our seat,at all shows and occasions I have been asked for seats for the 914 to fit the rear original padding.
Well the prototyp is made and we are working on the production model,it will have more ,or actual real side support,using the original mounting and tilting mechanism and a integrated headrest.As said ,the prototyp is been made,so no pictures are available at this point,the side will resemble the Rallye ST. The seat called "LeMans" in memories of the 914/6 GT of Ballot Lena ,will be available at the beginning of next year in leatherette/basket weave,leatherette/corduroy or in leather/ corduroy and leather with perforated leather. Pricerange will be according to the Nürburgring. The Nürburgring and Rallye ST fit only without the rear padding or with alterations to it.We hope to meet most of the needs of the 914 comunity. For questions call 702 353 7175 ,GTSinLV@aol.comor go toGTS gran turismo sports |

Since this vendor is in Las Vegas, I was planning to go and look at these seats as a public service to the 914Club members. I was sure that I would not be a potential customer. I thought that my recently recovered stock seats were OK and that the price for these was more than I would be willing to pay. I WAS WRONG.
I had a nice Sparco seat in my race car. I had a Scheel seat in a previous teener. Both were fine, but after all, they were just seats. Right? The stock ones are not that bad and I thought I was reasonably content. GTS Classics was at the Porsche Club race this weekend with samples on display. Here is my review of the products they offer: All of them are top quality. Stefan is a very nice guy to talk to. Monte Carlo = Nice seat that belongs in a bigger car with room to recline. Rallye ST = Very comfortable. A nice choice for a long trip. Wide enough for anyone. Nurburgring = Very similar to the Scheel. High support under your knees. Le Mans = AWESOME. Excellent in every way. The PERFECT 914 seat for me. I was truely amazed at how much I liked this seat. The fit and support are superb. Just enough support for your legs. The sides grip your butt like it was custom made. The upper kidney bolsters are just right. The lumbar and back are molded to perfection. As soon as I sat in one, I knew I had to have one. The other are nice, really nice. The Le Mans is Fantastic!!! It is rare to find a product that is this good. I have yet to see one installed in a 914. I have no doubt that it will work as well as the seller advertises. Now my only question is what material do I want and where do I find the money to pay for it? |
