24 Mar 2020|672 views
Porsche is revolutionising sporty seating with an innovative alternative to conventional bucket seat upholstery.
The new seat utilises 3D-printed bodyform materials to deliver increased driver-specific seat fitting and a wider choice of comfort levels.


The outer skin of the concept seat meanwhile, is made from 'Racetex', a high-quality microfibre material partially consisting of recycled polyester fibres, and features a perforation pattern for improved breathability.
Window panels on the backrest provide a view of exposed coloured components and the 3D-printed lattice structure, and also give the full-bucket seat an unmistakable design.


Street-legal versions of the seats, available in three different firmness levels and colours, will be available ex-works from the Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur from mid-2021. Porsche will explore offering fully personalised solutions if sufficient customers express an interest in the new seating concept.
