    Thanks for rubbing it in... You're making me doubt again... But it is too late. I may end up asking Ferrari to send me racing seats as well, just because of you.

    I am glad you are enjoying it and your wife is too.

    That wasn't my experience when I tried them. The fully electric seemed to have better padding. I found the racing seats bery well supported but with very minimal padding. Not sure how you don't get pressure ulcers in them.. But, do they look nice.

    Incidentally, found the F8 with the Tricolore stripes.. Has the "coll" option... After I see it, I like it. Unfortunately, I didn't get it.

    Oddly enough, a big reason i prefer my full electrics to racing seats (which I had in the 488) is the headrest. Too far back in racing seats because it accommodates a helmet. The only reason I would have racing seats is if i was gonna race...

    I have had the Racing seats on all my Ferraris to date including my current 488. I love them on the mid engined Ferraris but are too hard with not enough padding to be very comfortable over long journeys. Im hoping to get an 812 next year and after my initial strong preference for the Race seats will now look for one with the standard Daytona ones.
    Racing seats are perfect for Pistas however on other less racy Ferraris seats are personal depending on which ones everyone finds more comfortable. I've had quite a few Porsches with LWBS and with its much softer padding compared to Ferraris Race seats are great for long journeys.

    Negative, If I had to do that... I’d have a custom made seat cushion underneath the factory seat covers....

    I ordered my F8 spider with the electric Daytona seats. I’ve enjoyed them in my 488 , 458 and my 430 as well. I don’t track my cars so while the race seats look fabulous, I’m all about my a** being comfortable. Best, Kirk.

    Although my 488 has the electric comfort seats, I ordered the racing seats... They look so much better, especially with red line in the middle and black EMPH.

    Did you have your stripes custom made for the F8 or did you find a manufacturer that has them pre cut?

    I'll see. I don't like artificial stuff. I don't have it yet so... Time will tell and apparently I have all of it. Haven't heard yet status update... Two weeks ago yesterday I was informed of status 40.
