A Brief History of Martini Racing – The Legacy Lives On
The Martini Racing brand has one of the most recognisable motorsport liveries in the world. Since the late 1960s, Martini’s bold blue and red stripes on a white background have been seen on some of the most legendary racing machines—from Porsche 917s and Lancia Delta Integrales to Formula 1 cars and World Rally Championship winners. The brand’s presence in racing has left a lasting impression, symbolising style, speed, and success.
By introducing Martini Racing into its seat lineup, Sparco allows enthusiasts to be part of this rich legacy. Whether you’re upgrading your road car or prepping a track car, these seats bring authentic racing heritage into your interior.
Sparco Pro 2000 QRT Martini Edition – Motorsport Grade Support
The Sparco Pro 2000 QRT Martini Edition is a proper FIA-approved bucket seat designed for serious motorsport use. Built using Sparco’s QRT (Quick Resin Technology), the seat is impressively lightweight and ultra-strong. It’s engineered for performance, with deep side bolsters and a high-grip fabric trim to keep you firmly planted—even in high-speed corners.
Key Features:
- FIA 8855-1999 approved – Suitable for all motorsport use
- QRT fiberglass construction – Lightweight and rigid
- Aggressive side bolstering – Excellent lateral support
- Martini Racing branding – Classic stripes, white Sparco logo
- Side-mounted – Requires side mounts for installation
- Harness compatible – 4, 5, or 6-point harness-ready
This is the seat for the serious driver. Whether you’re building a competitive track day car or just want a functional and iconic fixed-back bucket seat, the Pro 2000 delivers. Pair it with Sparco sliding rails, universal side mounts, and a vehicle-specific sub-frame for a straightforward installation.
Sparco R100 Martini Edition – Comfort Meets Style
If you’re more about comfort, daily driving, or casual track day use, the Sparco R100 Martini Edition is a fantastic option. As a reclining sports seat, it combines adjustability with sporty aesthetics and supportive bolstering. While it’s not FIA approved (due to the reclining mechanism), it’s perfect for road and non-competitive track events.
Key Features:
- Reclining sports seat – Ideal for road and casual track use
- Tubular steel frame – Strong, affordable construction
- Integrated headrest and side support
- ECE approved – Road legal seatbelt-compatible
- Eye-catching Martini branding – A true standout interior piece
- Base-mounted – Compatible with Sparco sliders and subframes
The R100 Martini Edition fits a wide range of vehicles, and its slim-line design means it’ll work in tighter cockpits. It’s a great way to get the Martini Racing look without committing to a full fixed-back setup.
Installation & Fitment – Easy to Set Up
Both the Sparco Pro 2000 and R100 Martini Edition seats feature slimline designs, making them suitable for a wide range of vehicles—including Mazda MX-5s, BMW 1 & 3 Series, Honda Civics (EP3), Renault Clios, and Ford Focus models.
Installation is easy with Sparco’s universal seat sliders and vehicle-specific subframes. Just note:
- Sparco Pro 2000: Side-mounted – requires additional side mounts to bolt into position.
- Sparco R100: Base-mounted – bolts directly to Sparco sliders and frames without side mounts.
