THESE CAME FROM A 911 GT3.
Authentic OEM Porsche 911 GT3 991 Comfort/Sport Seating
TWO OEM GT3 SEATS AVAILABLE
ONE WITH ITS ORIGINAL MOUNTED FIRE EXTINGUISHER
EACH INDIVIDUALLY COMMISSIONED · EACH BECOMES 1 OF 1
911. GT3. 991.
NOW WE'RE GETTING VERY SPECIFIC.
Porsche has spent more than six decades refining the 911.
Then there is GT3.
A name rooted in motorsport and reserved for a 911 created for the driver who wants something sharper, more focused and considerably more serious.
And these aren't simply seats with a Porsche connection.
They are authentic OEM Porsche 911 GT3 seats from the 991 generation.
That's the provenance.
That's the pedigree.
And that's where these AutoStuhls begin.
THIS ISN'T PORSCHE-INSPIRED FURNITURE.
THE SEAT IS THE REAL THING.
Authentic Porsche.
OEM.
GT3.
Comfort/Sport seating.
We didn't design an office chair to look like something from a Porsche.
We didn't embroider a crest onto a generic racing chair.
We started with the actual component Porsche engineered for the interior of a 911 GT3.
Then AutoStuhl gives it an entirely new life.
BEHIND YOUR DESK.
AND THEN THERE'S THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER.
One of these seats has something particularly special.
ITS MOUNTED FIRE EXTINGUISHER.
Yes.
We're keeping it.
Because removing one of the coolest pieces of visible GT3 hardware so the chair could look more like conventional office furniture would completely miss the point.
This is an AutoStuhl built around an authentic 991 GT3 seat.
Why would we want to make it look less like one?
The extinguisher is functional-looking mechanical theater.
It's unexpected.
It's slightly ridiculous behind a desk.
And it's absolutely fantastic.
Someone will ask about it.
Guaranteed.
“WHY DOES YOUR OFFICE CHAIR HAVE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER?”
Because it's a GT3 seat.
Next question.
YOU WORKED FOR THE PORSCHE.
NOW WORK IN THE PORSCHE.
There's a cruel little irony to owning an extraordinary automobile.
You work incredibly hard to get it.
Then work prevents you from driving it.
Eight hours behind the desk.
Ten.
Sometimes twelve.
Meanwhile, the Porsche sits in the garage.
You might spend thousands of hours working every year and only a fraction of that time behind the wheel.
We think that's a terrible allocation of Porsche.
DRIVE YOUR PORSCHE WHENEVER YOU CAN.
SIT IN ONE WHENEVER YOU CAN'T.
And if you're going to bring part of a Porsche into the office...
a 991 GT3 seat is a hell of a place to start.
YOU DON'T NEED TO OWN A 991.
YOU DON'T EVEN NEED TO OWN A GT3.
This matters.
Maybe your Porsche is a 356.
An early 911.
A Carrera.
A 964.
A 993.
A 996.
A 997.
A 991.
A 992.
A Cayman.
A Boxster.
A Cayenne.
A Panamera.
A Taycan.
Maybe there's a Turbo in the garage.
Maybe there's already a GT3.
Maybe the Porsche you love most was built decades before the GT3 name existed.
THE SEAT DOESN'T HAVE TO MATCH YOUR PORSCHE.
IT HAS TO MATCH YOUR PASSION FOR PORSCHE.
991 GT3 is the provenance.
Porsche is the connection.
ACTUALLY, THE MISMATCH CAN MAKE IT BETTER.
Imagine the owner of a beautifully preserved air-cooled 911.
The car stays exactly as Porsche intended.
Don't touch it.
Don't modify it.
Don't remove its original seat.
But behind the owner's desk?
AN AUTHENTIC 991 GT3 AUTOSTUHL.
One represents Porsche history.
The other represents what generations of relentless Porsche development eventually created.
Different generations.
Different engineering.
Different experiences.
SAME CREST.
They don't have to match.
They belong to the same story.
GT3 ISN'T JUST A BADGE.
Think about what happens inside a GT3.
Acceleration.
Braking.
Cornering.
Road surface.
Steering input.
Chassis movement.
Everything Porsche engineers into the automobile ultimately has to communicate with one thing:
THE DRIVER.
And this is where the driver sat.
The seat is one of the most intimate components of the entire automobile.
It's where the machine meets the human being.
AutoStuhl simply takes that connection somewhere Porsche probably never anticipated.
THE BOARDROOM.
GT3 PERFORMANCE.
COMFORT/SPORT SEATING.
There's another reason we love these particular seats.
They carry genuine GT3 provenance without turning your office into a race paddock.
These are Porsche Comfort/Sport seats.
Which means they're perfectly suited to something we very much hope you'll do with your AutoStuhl:
ACTUALLY SIT IN IT.
Work.
Read.
Think.
Take meetings.
Build companies.
Make decisions.
Plan the next acquisition.
And occasionally browse Porsche listings when you're supposed to be reviewing spreadsheets.
We won't tell anyone.
PORSCHE BUILT THE SEAT.
AUTOSTUHL BUILDS EVERYTHING BENEATH IT.
Taking an authentic OEM 991 GT3 seat and attaching it to a bargain imported office-chair base would be almost offensive.
So we don't.
AutoStuhl creates a substantial purpose-built fabricated steel foundation beneath it.
Heavy-duty casters.
Engineered mounting.
Individually fabricated components.
Careful finishing.
Hand assembly.
Porsche people understand why this matters.
THE FOUNDATION SHOULD DESERVE THE SEAT.
Especially when the seat says GT3.
THEN SOMEBODY WALKS INTO YOUR OFFICE.
They notice it.
The proportions aren't quite right for office furniture.
The bolsters.
The leather.
The unmistakable automotive architecture.
Something is different.
A Porsche person looks again.
“IS THAT ACTUALLY A PORSCHE SEAT?”
Yes.
Then they realize which one.
“WAIT...THAT'S FROM A GT3?”
Yes.
991 GT3. OEM.
And if you've commissioned the extinguisher-equipped seat, there's probably one more question:
“IS THAT A FIRE EXTINGUISHER?”
Also yes.
At this point, the chair has pretty much handled the introduction itself.
SOME LUXURY NEEDS A LOGO.
GT3 NEEDS THREE CHARACTERS.
There is no need to make this loud.
No gold.
No giant branding.
No explanation of why it's special.
Among the people who understand Porsche, GT3 already carries the message.
To everyone else?
It's simply an extraordinary piece of automotive furniture that looks unlike anything else in the room.
BOTH REACTIONS WORK FOR US.
NOW MAKE THE GT3 TELL YOUR PORSCHE STORY.
Your AutoStuhl can be commissioned with bespoke laser-cut stainless steel Signature Panels created specifically for you.
Your Porsche's silhouette.
Your VIN.
Your model designation.
Your racing number.
The year of your first Porsche.
Your company logo.
Your family crest.
Your initials.
Your signature.
A favorite road.
A meaningful date.
A personal motto.
Or the Porsche you sold years ago and still regret every time you see what they're worth now.
THE 991 GT3 PROVIDES THE PEDIGREE.
YOU PROVIDE THE STORY.
The finished AutoStuhl doesn't have to represent the Porsche this particular seat came from.
It can represent the Porsche that matters to you.
TWO SEATS.
ONE HAS AN EXTRA STORY.
There are two authentic OEM Porsche 991 GT3 seats available for these commissions.
Only one retains the mounted fire extinguisher.
That makes the two commissions inherently different before we've fabricated a single personalized component.
One is the beautifully restrained GT3 Comfort/Sport Commission.
The other?
THE GT3 FIRE EDITION.
Same extraordinary 991 GT3 provenance.
With one wonderfully unnecessary piece of GT3 equipment still along for the ride.
Once someone commissions that seat...
THERE ISN'T A SECOND ONE.
NO, THIS ISN'T A SENSIBLE OFFICE CHAIR.
Good.
There are thousands of sensible office chairs.
Some are excellent.
Some have mesh backs.
Some have ergonomic certifications.
Some have twelve adjustments.
Some were chosen after six meetings by a corporate furniture committee.
NONE OF THEM STARTED LIFE IN A PORSCHE 911 GT3.
And we're reasonably confident none of them arrived with a fire extinguisher either.
You're commissioning something because you couldn't find anything else like it.
That's an entirely different proposition.
SOMETIMES WE CAN FIND ANOTHER.
THIS TIME, WE KNOW THERE'S ONLY ONE WITH THE EXTINGUISHER.
AutoStuhl doesn't manufacture the most important component.
We have to find it.
Finding exceptional Porsche seats is unpredictable.
Finding authentic 991 GT3 seating is considerably less predictable.
Finding one with this particular equipment?
We have one.
That's it.
When commissioned, it is gone.
Maybe we'll find another someday.
Maybe we won't.
GENUINE SCARCITY DOESN'T COME WITH A RESTOCK DATE.
