Default Recaro Podium

I think you guys might be interested in this. The same seat has both FIA and ABE approvals, so it's both race and street approved in the same package. Plain seat weighs 4.3 kg, with L-size padding 5.9kg. Paddings are fully configurable.

Beautiful seat, but still defeats the side airbags in the factory seats, so YMMV with legal and insurance issues...

Here’s the word from Recaro on the Podium:

Hey Dealers, I have been getting a lot of calls about the new Recaro Podium. I regret to inform all of you that as of right now, it is a Europe Only seat. Recaro's Facebook and Youtube channel is controlled by Recaro Germany which I assume is where your customers are seeing the seat. Because of this, seats we can not acquire are advertised creating a small amount of confusion like we have now. Thank you for your patience.

Brings the 992 generation of GT cars closer to the seats already seen in the 600LT...

A welcome eyecandy to our street cars!

That said I would absolutely not risk anything without halo extensions for the racecars.

I went to Essen Motor Show on Wedneday and tested the seat, tight but comfy and looks great. €2650,- in Perlon and €2950,- in Alcantara.

Bringing this one back to the top, I see Vivid Racing has these for sale so I assume they’re available in the US now?

I would love to hear/read more about these but can’t find much at all. Looks like a compelling alternative to $15k on LWBS and just go all-in with these, rollbar, etc.
