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

RECARO believes a classic car deserves seating that preserves its original character and era-correct authenticity. As the creator of many of the seats found in these vehicles when they were new, RECARO is uniquely positioned to deliver replacements and upgrades that honor the period while incorporating modern advancements. The RECARO LX and LS echo the hallmark designs of RECARO’s 1980s seats, making them an ideal fit for classic interiors. Inspired by the brochures of that time, this material highlights seats that combine today’s knowledge of safe, ergonomic design with RECARO’s long-standing commitment to craftsmanship, comfort, and support. Every RECARO seat ensures an ideal driving posture for precise reactions, strong performance, and confident, safe control.
- Safety: RECARO places safety at the forefront of its seat design, building each product around a secure and resilient internal structure. Key safety elements include a robust steel frame, energy-absorbing backrest construction, rigid lateral seat frame components, and strong side bolsters, all engineered to withstand forces without splintering. Height- and tilt-adjustable upholstered headrests further enhance protection. Many classic and modern vehicles can receive ABE (general type approval) for RECARO seats, allowing them to be integrated seamlessly into a vehicle’s existing approval documentation.
- Ergonomics & Comfort: RECARO develops its upholstery based on the latest research into muscular support and driver endurance. Rather than being overly soft, RECARO seats provide a carefully balanced firmness that maintains comfort during long journeys without dulling vehicle feedback. Improved climate comfort is achieved through strategic material selection, structured fabric surfaces, and a wool-fleece layer that absorbs moisture. Highly breathable textiles and base upholstery work together to naturally regulate body temperature for long-lasting comfort.

Safety First. No Compromises.

For RECARO, driver protection extends far beyond the feeling of security, it is their highest priority. Guided by a commitment to uncompromising safety, reliability, and durability, RECARO engineers seating systems that offer superior protection in all conditions. Drawing from deep motorsport heritage, the brand consistently delivers safety performance that exceeds legal requirements and demonstrates true competition-grade engineering.
