RECARO Classic LS Seat

The RECARO Classic LS is built for drivers who crave spirited cornering and demand secure, confidence-inspiring lateral support.

Blending vintage style with purposeful ergonomics, the Classic LS delivers the stability, control, and classic RECARO character that enthusiasts expect from a true performance-oriented seat.

The New Edition of the Classic RECARO LX and LS Seats. Nothing Beats the Original.

RECARO understands that a classic car should remain as authentic as possible, with every detail true to its original era. As the company responsible for many of the seats installed in these vehicles when new, RECARO is uniquely suited to provide replacements that honor their heritage. The RECARO LX and LS reflect the celebrated design language of RECARO’s 1980s seats, making them ideal complements to period interiors. Inspired by vintage brochures, this material showcases seats that combine decades of ergonomic and safety expertise with exceptional craftsmanship, style, and individualized comfort. Each RECARO seat promotes an optimal driving posture that supports precise control, confident handling, and safe, enjoyable performance.
- Safety: RECARO makes safety the foundation of every seat it produces, engineering each component to protect the driver under all conditions. Critical safety elements include a reinforced steel core, spring systems, an energy-absorbing steel backrest, a seat frame engineered to resist lateral forces, and robust side bolsters, all designed to withstand high loads without splintering. Fully upholstered, height- and tilt-adjustable headrests add further security. Many classic and contemporary vehicles can be equipped with RECARO seats under existing ABE (general type approval), allowing for seamless integration into official documentation.
- Ergonomics & Comfort: RECARO develops its upholstery based on scientific insights into reducing muscular fatigue, ensuring seats provide firm, supportive comfort rather than overly soft cushioning. This philosophy aligns with performance-focused feedback, including Walter Röhrl’s preference for seats that offer comfort over long distances while maintaining connection to the vehicle. Climate comfort is enhanced through advanced materials, structured fabrics, and a thick wool-fleece layer that absorbs moisture. Highly breathable fabrics and base upholstery promote natural air circulation, helping regulate body temperature during extended drives.

Safety First. No Compromises.

For RECARO, driver protection is more than a promise, it is the guiding principle behind every design decision. The brand is committed to delivering uncompromising safety, reliability, and durability, ensuring customers are protected in all driving situations. With deep motorsport roots, RECARO has consistently demonstrated safety performance that surpasses regulatory requirements, reinforcing its long-standing reputation for engineering seats that safeguard drivers at every level.
