Weight difference of Racing Bucket Seats VS. Power Daytona Seats on 360 Modena?

Not exactly what you're looking for, but that will give you an idea.
I think the difference between racing and standard seats is around 18kg on a 430.

 

The difference in my pcar was 54# per seat, but the gt3 seats are more stripped down than the fcar racing shells. I bet Alex is about right at 35# or maybe 40# per side. Significant.

 

Even more if the regular seats have the power seat option. >50 lbs per side.

 

Little OT but I remember seing a Tv show that reviewed a lightend MB SL and when they replaced the seats in that car it they saved 120 kgs

 

I removed both daytona power seats,and these guys are correct about 50lbs each side I then installed 1 fixed racing momo seat 16lbs lossing 84 lbs for me..

 

I also removed my electric Daytona's and replaced them with Ferrari sport seats. I was told the weight difference was about 45 pounds each or 90 pounds total weight savings. For me, the sport seats are much more comfortable and I love the additional feel for the road I get.

 

Here are my Sport seats. I bought them on ebay, so had no chose for color. I had Fernando re-do the seats in black. So here is before and after. The artifacts on the pics are because I resized a resize.

1. Not at all.

2. I was quoted from FOC, $11,000 each for the c/f sport seats and a 6 month wait. I bought them on ebay for 6k.

3. The seats are not died but totally reupholstered by Fernando at Presige Auto Upholstery. I know of some that have died the seats, but I just started from scratch. The leather that is used is amazing, maybe too good, because it looks better than the othe leather in the car.

I will end up putting the Daytona's back in when I sell the car, depending on what the next owner wants, and sell the extra pair.

 

Per seat or for both?

Thank u

 

1. I misunderstood the question. The car feels quick, but not having timed anything I'm not sure. I was told that saving 100 lbs. of weight would make the car .1 quicker in my 0-60 or was it the 1/4 mile?

3. I paid $2k out the door to redo both seats. I feel much more in touch with what the car is doing in the sport seats. I used to sit up too high in the Daytona's. It's now more of a karting feel, more feel of the road. I really like them. Not as much padding but so much more feel.

 

Good question. I'm obviously not that smart. I didn't know they came in sizes nor was a size advertised. I'm 6'1" and 183 pounds and the seats fit really well. They hold me snug without being confining. My passenger last week weighed about 210 pounds and he said he was comfortable. I'm going to guess medium, only because I've sat in sport seats in another 360 and it didn't feel as secure. Is there a way to measure to find the size? I didn't see it listed anywhere on the seat.

 

judging by the average weight of the Ferrari owners at Monterrey last year....i'd say worrying about the weight difference between seats is comical..!

 

Hey! I don't resemble that.....yet. LOL

 

I'd say both. The info comes from the cd-rom i was sent after i ordered the car, but it's not clear if it's per seat or all in.

If so, it doesn't match the other figures posted in the thread, so the question is still open.

Rgds,
Alex

 

They were advertised as 360 seats and the rails bolt into where my old ones were. Does the 430 have the same bolt pattern?

The car feels quick, but I wouldn't say "significantly" quicker. I bought them due to the fact I had trouble seeing without hunching and it was hurting my back to drive. The new seats lowered me to where I now can attain a comfortable driving position. If the car's quicker, it's an added bonus.

 

Sure looks like F430 to me. Does that mean I can get more money for them when I sell them? J/K

Mine are OEM, as far as I know, but it seems I don't know that much. LOL

 

Mine came with sport seats. I don't like the look of the stock seats.

Sparco makes the seat for Ferrari. Why not try calling Sparco USA directly? I bet it would be less than buying them from Ferrari.
