RECARO Podium Seat

If you’re serious about driving, the RECARO Podium is a game changer. This isn’t just another seat; it’s a carefully engineered piece of craftsmanship that balances the demands of both the road and the track. With its CFRP shell, you’re not just getting a seat—you’re getting a whole experience that’s built for those who crave performance.

What really sets the Podium apart is its quality. You can feel it the moment you sit down. The snug fit and supportive structure hug you in all the right places, thanks to side bolsters that keep you stable during those hard turns. It’s like having a second skin, designed to give you instant feedback and keep you connected to your vehicle. And let’s be honest, there’s nothing like the thrill of controlled cornering, especially when you know this seat has been tested at the Nürburgring. If it can handle the "Green Hell," it can handle just about anything.

The Podium is FIA homologated, which means you can take it from the track to the street without breaking any rules. It’s one of the few retrofit shell seats that’s approved for public road use, so you can enjoy that racing tech wherever you go. Plus, it’s designed for both 3-point and 4-point belts, making it versatile for various setups.

Now, let’s talk comfort. This seat comes in two sizes—M for medium builds and L for larger builds—so you can find the perfect fit. The varying pad thicknesses are not just for show; they’re shaped to fit your body’s contours, allowing for airflow and keeping you cool during those intense drives.
