Don't look for a lot of fancy polished wood or chrome inside the GT2, because there isn't much. And there isn't even a pretense of a rear seat like other 911s have. Just an upholstered area behind the seats, to keep the weight down. This is strictly a two-seater. And there is provision in the rear compartment to bolt in an aftermarket rollbar for racing use.This is a very sporty interior, mostly gray on our test car, with brushed finishes on most of the metallic elements. Our silver test car had a gray interior with two large central instrument pods displaying all the necessary data to the driver. The instruments are large, mounted high, and very easy to read, and there's an upshift light built into the tachometer warning you not to over-rev the engine The seats in the GT2 are near race-quality bucket seats with the grippy suede-like Alcantara upholstery on the center sections, and the seat shells are made of very strong, lightweight carbon fiber, with the seatbelt provisions coming up through oval holes in the sides for a tighter fit. The driving position is excellent, and the carbon fiber seats are nothing if not supportive and huggy. We didn't get a chance to find out what the racy seats are like on a 500-mile trip, but we think they'd be comfortable all the way. Driver sightlines are completely clear out front.
