What makes the RECARO Dynamic Sport C different from other sports seats?

The RECARO Dynamic Sport C is the first genuine aftermarket sports seat with all-electric 8-way adjustment, covering backrest angle, fore-and-aft, seat height and seat tilt. Most aftermarket sports seats are fixed or manually adjusted, so full electric control alongside proper bolstering is what sets this one apart.

Is the RECARO Dynamic Sport C street legal?

Yes. The RECARO Dynamic Sport C carries ABE and TÜV component certification and is suitable for street use with 3-point and 4-point belts. It also holds AGR certification from the German Healthier Backs Campaign, and RECARO builds it to the same safety standards applied to OEM seats rather than to minimum legal requirements.

Will it work in an electric vehicle?

Yes, and it was designed with EVs in mind. The very low hip point preserves the floor space taken up by battery packs, which is exactly where conventional aftermarket seats cause problems on EV retrofits. Combined with the slim backrest and lightweight composite structure, that makes it one of the more practical options for electric platforms.

Does it reduce rear passenger legroom?

Less than most sports seats do. The ultra-slim backrest is engineered specifically to free up rear legroom while still carrying pronounced side bolsters and shoulder support. Anyone fitting a sports seat to a car that still needs usable rear seats will find this a meaningful practical difference over a thicker-shelled design.

Are seat mounts included?

No. Mounts are sold separately and are vehicle-specific, so the correct bracket must be matched to your chassis. Order the mount alongside the seat, as the bracket sets final seat height and needs to leave clearance for the electric adjustment and the wiring run to the switch pack.

Is it sold as a pair?

No. It is sold as a single left or right seat, so a matching pair takes two orders with the correct side specified on each, plus two sets of mounts. Each seat weighs approximately 24kg, and upholstery comes in Leather Black or Leather White, both paired with Dinamica Suede Black.

RECARO Dynamic Sport C Seat

The RECARO Dynamic Sport C represents the next generation of RECARO sports seating, combining performance, innovation, craftsmanship, and comfort in a design engineered for an elevated driving experience. Its all-electric adjustability, supportive ergonomics, and firm, low-profile structure create an immediate connection between driver and machine, delivering precise feedback and confident control through every corner. The ultra-slim backrest maximizes rear legroom without compromising support, while premium materials and RECARO’s signature contouring ensure long-lasting comfort on both spirited drives and daily commutes. As the first model in RECARO’s new sports seat era, the Sport C sets a new benchmark for aftermarket luxury and performance seating.

The Revolutionary RECARO Sport C

RECARO introduces the first model in its new generation of sports seats: the first all-electric 8-way aftermarket sports seat. The RECARO Sport C represents the full scope of the brand’s values, including performance, quality, innovation, safety, comfort, and a passion for sporty vehicles paired with expert craftsmanship. The result is a unique sports seat engineered for a distinctly elevated driving experience. Its forward-thinking design, full electric adjustability, and exceptional body support set a new benchmark in the aftermarket, establishing the Sport C as a one-of-a-kind RECARO innovation.

Peak Body Support Performance

Body Support: RECARO emphasizes that the driver’s seat is central to vehicle control, especially during dynamic driving. The RECARO Sport C provides a snug, supportive structure with well-defined side bolsters for superior shoulder and torso stability, ensuring the driver maintains control and proper posture in any driving situation.
Peak Performance: RECARO designs the Sport C to fit the driver like a glove, creating the sensation of sitting in the seat rather than on it. With direct feedback to the driver, a low seating position, firm and compact upholstery, and freedom of arm movement, the Sport C enhances control during spirited cornering. Its slim backrest contour increases rear-seat legroom, and the broad range of electric adjustments allows drivers to personalize the seat for maximum comfort and performance.

Sit Back & Enjoy

RECARO recognizes that driving forces the body into a passive posture, which can lead to discomfort from factors such as lateral load, deceleration, and vibration. The Sport C addresses these stresses through intelligent comfort features and carefully sculpted contours that support the body, making each journey more comfortable and enjoyable.

The Future Starts Now With the Sport C

A Pioneering Concept: RECARO develops the Sport C with future-focused engineering, using innovative materials and lightweight construction to separate design from safety structure. This approach reduces CO2 output and adapts more easily to emerging vehicle platforms. Its low hip point preserves battery space in electric vehicles, making the Sport C an ideal retrofit solution for EV applications.
Performance and Body Support: RECARO presents the Sport C as a true sports seat designed to deliver confident vehicle control and driving enjoyment. With comprehensive body support, it ensures optimal hold even at high speeds and on demanding roads, providing world-class performance aligned with RECARO’s heritage.
Uncompromising Safety: RECARO integrates a protective internal structure into the Sport C to ensure maximum safety. Meeting the same strict standards as OEM seats, the Sport C adheres to rigorous automotive industry safety requirements that exceed basic legal regulations.
Unparalleled Ergonomics: RECARO engineers the Sport C’s structure to follow the natural shape of the human spine. Combined with firm padding and body-hugging contours, the seat enhances comfort and driving enjoyment across long distances while maintaining a secure and supportive posture.
Innovative Design: RECARO highlights the Sport C’s slim, modern design, which delivers both visual appeal and functional benefits. The ultra-thin yet sturdy seat architecture increases rear legroom, while the low seating height improves driving dynamics and accommodates larger drivers by enabling a comfortable position.
Individually Adjustable: RECARO offers the Sport C as the first genuine sports seat in the aftermarket with extensive electric adjustability. Its intuitive 8-way electric controls allow drivers to adjust backrest angle, seat length, seat height, and seat tilt. Additional comfort features include an extendable cushion, lumbar adjustment, and seat heating.

Crafted to Suit Your Taste

RECARO incorporates traditional craftsmanship into every Sport C, ensuring each seam, upholstery panel, and finish meets the brand’s high standards. The Sport C can be customized to suit individual preferences, with a wide selection of upholstery materials and colors available to match personal style or vehicle interiors.

Revolutionary by Tradition

RECARO notes that its legacy in sports seating began in 1965 with the introduction of the first dedicated automotive sport seat at the Frankfurt Motor Show. That pioneering spirit continues in the RECARO Sport C, the first authentic sports seat to offer fully electric adjustability for maximum comfort and functionality.

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
