Hundreds Of Products Ready Today. Dispatch/Collection Stunning Sparco Evo Sky Bucket Seats Pass Through Our Showroom
Another stunning pair of Sparco Evo Sky bucket seats recently passed through our GSM Performance showroom, and they certainly turned heads. These seats are a perfect example of Sparco’s ability to combine professional motorsport engineering with refined, high-quality finishes that make them suitable for both racing and road-based performance cars. The Evo Sky delivers the same racing pedigree and design as the FIA-approved Sparco Evo QRT but is finished in a premium vinyl trim that’s easy to clean, weather-resistant, and incredibly durable.
When we had these seats in-store, the first thing that stood out was their striking appearance. The smooth black vinyl finish gives the Evo Sky a sleek, professional look, while the embroidered Sparco logos and sculpted shell remind you that this is a true racing seat at its core. The craftsmanship is clear in every detail, from the firm yet supportive padding to the strong fibreglass shell construction. It’s a seat built to perform, but one that also looks fantastic whether fitted in a stripped-out track car or a high-end performance build.
The Evo Sky follows the same ergonomic design that has made the Evo series one of the most popular and respected ranges in Sparco’s history. It provides exceptional body support through its deep side bolsters and integrated shoulder guides while maintaining enough comfort for longer drives. It’s designed to keep you secure during intense driving while offering the durability needed for real-world conditions.
Seeing these seats up close in our showroom really shows the difference in quality that comes with Sparco’s manufacturing. Lightweight, practical, and beautifully finished, the Evo Sky stands out as one of the most versatile bucket seats we’ve seen, a true hybrid between professional motorsport performance and day-to-day usability.
Designed for Performance and Everyday Durability
The Sparco Evo Sky is built using Sparco’s advanced QRT (Quick Resin Technology) process, which allows for a stronger yet lighter fibreglass shell. This innovative method ensures that the seat delivers impressive rigidity while keeping overall weight low, a feature that makes a real difference in competitive motorsport.
The Sky version of the Evo takes this engineering further by using premium vinyl upholstery instead of standard fabric, making it easier to clean after heavy use. This makes it an excellent choice for open-cockpit cars, off-road builds, or track cars that are frequently exposed to dust, dirt, and moisture. The smooth vinyl finish can simply be wiped down after each use, maintaining its fresh, professional look for years.
Even with this extra practicality, the Evo Sky remains a pure driver’s seat. It offers deep side bolsters and a high backrest that hold the driver firmly in place through tight corners and hard braking. It’s compatible with 5- and 6-point harnesses, featuring wide harness slots and shoulder guides for proper belt alignment during high-performance driving.
Motorsport-Level Comfort and Fitment
What makes the Sparco Evo Sky so well-regarded is how it balances precision fitment with long-distance comfort. The seat’s shape has been carefully sculpted to follow the natural curve of the body, supporting key pressure points and reducing driver fatigue over long sessions. The split leg cushions add extra flexibility and ventilation, while the firm yet supportive padding provides confidence and control behind the wheel.
Its medium-width shell makes it suitable for a wide range of drivers, comfortably accommodating those with a 32–36-inch waist. The narrow external dimensions also allow it to fit into tighter cockpits without issue, from small sports cars to touring setups. For those with larger builds or vehicles with more space, Sparco also produces the Evo L and Evo XL versions with increased width and shoulder room.
Here are the key dimensions for the standard Evo Sky:
- Shoulder width: 560mm
- Base width: 485mm
- Seat height: 890mm
- Mounting points: 290mm apart (side-mounted)
These measurements make it one of the most versatile fixed-back bucket seats in Sparco’s FIA range, suitable for both compact performance cars and full-sized GT builds.
Built for the Track, Perfect for the Road
While the Sparco Evo Sky is FIA 8855-1999 approved and fully prepared for professional motorsport, it’s just as at home in track-day cars, road builds, or custom projects. Its combination of lightweight construction, secure fit, and premium finish make it ideal for anyone looking to upgrade their driving position while maintaining a refined interior aesthetic.
The seat’s side-mounting configuration allows for fine-tuned positioning using compatible Sparco or Planted Technology side mounts. For added flexibility, it can also be paired with Sparco sliding runners, letting you adjust the driving position without sacrificing rigidity or safety.
Fabric vs. Vinyl – Which Sparco Evo Trim Is Right for You?
The Sparco Evo is available in two trim options, each suited for different motorsport applications. Choosing between the velour fabric trim and the Sky (vinyl) trim depends on how you plan to use your vehicle and the conditions it will face.
Comparing the Two Trim Options:
| Feature | Sparco Evo (Velour Fabric Trim) | Sparco Evo Sky (Vinyl Trim) |
|---|---|---|
| Material | Soft velour fabric | Water-resistant vinyl (Sky) |
| Grip & Support | Better grip on the body for stability during cornering | Smooth surface, easier to slide into and out of |
| Best For | Fast road, track days, and closed-cockpit race cars | Open-top vehicles, off-road, and rally use |
| Cleaning & Maintenance | Absorbs dirt and sweat, harder to clean | Easily wipeable, resistant to water and dust |
| Durability | Standard motorsport wear resistance | Extra anti-wear pads for longer-lasting use |
If you’re driving a track-focused car and need maximum grip and driver support, the velour fabric trim is the better choice. However, if you’re in an open-top vehicle, rally car, or off-road racer, the Sky vinyl trim is ideal due to its weather resistance and easy maintenance.
Explore Our Sparco Evo Bucket Seat Range
At GSM Performance, we stock and display a wide selection of Sparco Evo bucket seats, giving our customers plenty of choice depending on their needs, whether for full motorsport use, track days, or simulator setups. In our showroom, we currently display the standard Sparco Evo in its velour fabric trim, as well as the simulator and non-FIA-approved versions designed for sim rigs and casual track use. These models allow customers to experience the size, comfort, and build quality of the Evo range first-hand before making their choice.
While our in-store display features the fabric and sim versions, our online range includes the full lineup of Evo models in various materials and configurations. This includes the Sparco Evo Sky with its vinyl trim, designed for easy cleaning and excellent resistance to dirt, moisture, and wear, perfect for open-cockpit vehicles, off-road builds, or outdoor storage conditions.
We also offer the Sparco Evo QRT X Waterproof Fibreglass Seat, which combines the best features of both fabric and vinyl. This hybrid design is fully waterproof like the Sky but features strategically placed non-slip material in key contact areas to provide better grip and reduce body movement, similar to the velour fabric version. It’s a clever blend of durability, comfort, and functionality that suits drivers who want weather resistance without losing Sparco’s signature seat feel.
To put it simply, our Sparco Evo range covers every use case:
- FIA-approved versions for professional motorsport
- Non-FIA versions for simulator or casual track use
- Fabric trim for superior grip and comfort
- Vinyl trim for easy cleaning and durability
