RECARO Classic Pole Position (ABE) Seat

The RECARO Classic Pole Position (ABE) blends vintage aesthetics with modern engineering, offering a road-legal racing shell that captures the spirit of the iconic design developed for the Porsche 964 RS. Updated with contemporary safety standards yet styled with timeless lines and classic upholstery, it allows drivers to enjoy authentic period-correct character without sacrificing performance or protection. Its refined shape, supportive structure, and heritage-inspired materials make it a natural fit for sporty classic interiors, delivering both visual authenticity and the confident, modern safety RECARO is known for.

Classic Seats Tailored for Perfection

  • RECARO positions the Classic Pole Position (ABE) as a seat crafted with the precision and character of a tailor-made suit, designed to complement both the vehicle and the driver. Its fit, functionality, and premium build reflect RECARO’s emphasis on individuality and performance. Built with passion, skilled workmanship, and the finest materials, the Classic Pole Position (ABE) showcases exceptional attention to detail, which is why it excels in sporty classic cars.

Every Inch, Luxurious.

  • RECARO highlights the Classic Pole Position (ABE) through its use of premium leather, vintage Pepita fabric, classic corduroy, refined stitching, and a distinctive silhouette defined by smooth, flowing contours. This seat unites aesthetic appeal, high-quality materials, and expert craftsmanship into a product that meets RECARO’s strict premium standards and the expectations of drivers such as Walter Rohrl. RECARO sources its exclusive leather from Italy using environmentally responsible, carbon-neutral methods, and pairs it with robust GFRP shells and high-grade foams. Traditional craftsmanship remains central to the production process, with meticulous seam work, shell lamination, and finishing carried out by experienced artisans who ensure every detail reflects true RECARO quality.

Pole Position. No Compromises.

  • RECARO presents the Classic Pole Position (ABE) as a pure racing shell engineered for street use, creating the ideal crossover seat for spirited driving on public roads and performance laps on the track. Constructed from a single piece of GFRP with ergonomic shaping and proven safety, it has earned a longstanding reputation in club motorsport. Its classic design makes it a popular choice for historic sports cars, and its lineage can be traced back to the iconic RS seat originally developed for the Porsche 964 RS. RECARO offers ABE approval for numerous classic and modern vehicles, allowing the seat to be integrated into a vehicle’s existing type documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is the RECARO Classic Pole Position (ABE) street legal? Yes. The RECARO Classic Pole Position (ABE) carries ABE and TÜV component certification, with ABE approval covering numerous classic and modern vehicles. That allows the seat to be entered into a vehicle’s existing type documentation, which matters on a registered classic where paperwork is scrutinised.
  • What is the difference between the Classic and Dynamic Pole Position? Styling and upholstery, not structure. Both use a one-piece GFRP shell at approximately 7.0kg with 4-point belt slots and ABE approval. The RECARO Classic Pole Position (ABE) carries period-correct 1980s design language, the classic RECARO emblem, and heritage fabrics such as Pepita, corduroy and checkered instead of modern suede and Nardo.
  • What upholstery options are available? Four combinations: Black Leather throughout, or Black Leather paired with Classic Checkered, Classic Corduroy, or Pepita. The leather is sourced in Italy using carbon-neutral processes. Checkered with red accents is the sportiest option, corduroy the most period-authentic, and Pepita the most understated.
  • Which cars does it suit? Sporty classics, particularly air-cooled Porsches, since the design lineage runs directly back to the RS seat developed for the Porsche 964 RS. It also works in any historic sports car where a modern suede-trimmed shell would look wrong, giving correct period character with current safety construction underneath.
  • Can the cushions be replaced? Yes. Both the seat cushion and the backrest cushion are replaceable, and lumbar support is paddable. On a seat likely to spend decades in a car that gets used, being able to renew the wear surfaces rather than retrim the whole shell is a practical advantage worth having.
  • Is it sold as a pair? No. It is sold as a single seat, so a matching pair means two orders plus two sets of side mounts and vehicle-specific brackets, which are sold separately. Specify the same upholstery combination on both unless a deliberate contrast between driver and passenger sides is intended.
