Found out a bit more since then. They are $7k per pair, and they are the Porsche Sports Bucket Seat, made by Recaro commissioned by Porsche. They are essentially bucket seats, but can be reclined forward for easy access to the rear. There is airbag like the Sportster CS, and the seat is designed to take a 6 point harness.

Here is the other site selling the seat: http://www.carnewal-europe.com/cpx_p97064.htm

The problem I would say would be the electronics and seat belt point compatibility. However, someone is trying to adopt it into their R8.

It is not available at the moment for the 991 GT3 at the moment in the US, due to change in US legislation change, and they are currently developing a new seat and be expected to be available in about a years time.
