    Hey quick question.
    Does anyone know if Ferrari uses Recaro seats in their cars? They seem to be very similar but can't find anything online that discusses this other than one link? Are Ferrari seats totally oem or are they based on/use the Recaro seats. The Ferrari seats are very comfortable but another car with same seat seem to have a different sit.

    Example is the Recaro LS ideal seats

    It is in the VW Golf and BMW m3, porsche 911 turbo and many other cars as a standard option, and it is similar to the same seat in the 308/355?

    Other than the leather trim during spec, the seats do seem to fit/sit different so wonder if Ferrari changes out the foam/inserts?

    The only info I've seen is this:

    Thanks for the insights

    I always thought the F355 seats were a Recaro LS variant. Have a set on the shelf if you need any photos of anything.

    I thought so too but did not see anything definitive or info describing the differences Ferrari did with the seats to make them unique to Ferrari. I thought there would be others on here with background or inside knowledge.

    Thanks for the offer on providing photos of your seats. I think I am set for now but will send you a PM if I need anything.

    If anyone else has background info that would be appreciated. Thanks-
