If you're serious about your driving experience, let me tell you about the RECARO Podium. This isn't just another seat; it's a game-changer. Built from carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP), it???s designed to handle the demands of both road and track. You can feel the quality the moment you sit down. The sleek design isn???t just for looks???it's engineered to give you that racing feel, whether you???re on your daily commute or pushing your limits at the track.
What really sets the Podium apart is its FIA homologation, which means it???s street-legal and ready for competition. You won???t find many retrofit shell seats that can say that. And with ABE certification, you can use it with a 3-point belt in many vehicles, making it a versatile choice for anyone looking to upgrade their ride. Just make sure to check in with a RECARO partner to find out what fits your setup.
Now, let???s talk comfort and support. The Podium has a low center of gravity and a firm, compact upholstery that keeps you snug without feeling confined. The side bolsters are perfectly shaped to hug your body, giving you great support during those tight turns. I???ve taken this seat through the N??rburgring's infamous "Green Hell," and I can tell you, it delivers controlled cornering like no other. You really feel connected to the car, and that thrill of speed? It???s built right into the design.
One size doesn???t fit all, and RECARO gets that. The Podium comes in two sizes: Medium (M) for average builds and Large (L) for those with a bit more heft. The varying pad thicknesses mean you can customize your fit, and the pads are shaped to match your body's contours, allowing for air circulation???yes, a built-in cooling system for those hot track days!
Here are some specs to keep in mind:
Keep in mind, all mounting hardware varies based on your vehicle, so make sure to consult with your dealer or installer to get the right fit. The seat width is measured without the bolsters, and the depth gives you the total length from front to back. If you get the extendable cushion, the dimensions change depending on how it???s adjusted.
In short, if you want a seat that feels like it was made just for you and can handle the rigors of both daily driving and racing, the RECARO Podium is the way to go. It???s more than just a seat; it???s an experience.
