It's the Race Tex that locks out the ventilated seats.

You don't need them at all with Race tex.

Thanks everyone; very helpful. I do want it to feel slightly different to my current Macan GTS, so I’m going to go for it. I think it’s the contrast stitching (oddly enough) is my favourite part.

On the seats, the 18-ways aren’t for me; I chose 14-ways for my current car and every time I get a loan car with the 18-ways, I repeat the same process... they look much better than the 14-ways (to me), I then find it harder to get in, once I’m in I love them and then when I come to get out, I resolve to stick with the 14-ways which I love!

On the seat ventilation, I’d actually like that. But you can’t spec it with 14 way and the GTS leather package. On the Race-Tex, I don’t have a particularly strong reason for wanting to stick with all leather but again, there’s no Race-Tex option with the 14-ways so it’s not a decision I need to worry about!

No, mine are full leather, no Race Tex.

Sorry, you're right. I've just spent a few minutes on the configurator and as soon as you specify the GTS interior seat ventilation is removed regardless of whether it's full leather or leather and Race Tex.

I was debating the same thing myself on the stitching, it is a lot of money but I'm of the thought I won't be specing a car every 2 or 3 years so get what I want. I also had the dilemma with the tow bar and cycle rack, 1400 all in. I could get a nice new mountain bike for that and chuck it in the back of by old van.

Hi Shivan,
My 2p if you haven't locked down yet
I highly rate the GTS leather package and specced it on our previous GTS and again on our current GTS. Really like the premium look/feel and the contrasting stitching. Didn't bother with the 18 way seats on either car as the 8 way GTS seats are similar style and very comfortable, with more than enough adjustment for us (I have 18 ways in my 911 for comparison).

Mind the GTS interior package is a lot more than just the contrasting stitching. It gives you full leather across the dashboard, doors and centre console. You get contrasting seatbelts, and colour rev counter, and also contrasting stitched mats which are nice. It's a lot of money and may or may not be 'worth it' to different people.
