Recaro Pole Position ABE, Road-Ready With Race Styling

Why Choose Recaro Motorsport Seats?
Recaro has been a leading name in motorsport seating for decades, and for good reason. Their seats are renowned for their ergonomic design, build quality, and long-term durability, making them a popular choice across both professional and enthusiast circles. Whether you’re tackling back roads on a Sunday drive or pushing your car to the limits on a track day, Recaro seats are engineered to provide optimal support and comfort.
The Pole Position ABE is a perfect example of Recaro’s commitment to quality. Lightweight, supportive, and unmistakably premium in design, this seat is trusted by countless drivers across Europe. It’s also approved for road use and built to meet the highest standards of performance and safety in its category. If you’re after that factory-quality look and feel with aftermarket-level support, Recaro is tough to beat.
Why Choose the Ambla Leather‑Suede Version?
Switching from the standard velour trim to Ambla suede elevates both feel and function:
- Premium grip and feel: suede-like surface aids lateral control while remaining supple for extended drives
- Enhanced aesthetics: pairs beautifully with refined interiors—ideal for modern performance or luxury cars
- Cleanability: treated suedes resist spills better than standard velour, making them more maintenance-friendly
Seat Dimensions – Slim Profile for Easy Fitment
One of the Pole Position ABE’s most attractive features is its slim-line design, making it highly versatile and easier to install across a wide range of vehicles. It’s an ideal solution for drivers of tighter cabins where space is at a premium, but comfort and security can’t be compromised.
Here are the key dimensions:
Hip Width: 390mm
Shoulder Width: 560mm
Height: 880mm
With these measurements, the seat provides a great balance between snug support and fitment flexibility, making it a frequent favourite for platforms like the BMW E46, Mazda MX-5, and Audi TT.
