One of these being the seats. Car seat design has evolved greatly over the years, starting with the classic bench seat, a design that incorporated a flat platform, and can fit 3 people with ease. There are very few cars out there today with bench seats as an option, one of these being the new Land Rover Defender.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3701\" src=\"https:\/\/www.design911.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/recaro-classic-pole-position-hero-1660x600-1-800x289.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"289\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.design911.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/recaro-classic-pole-position-hero-1660x600-1-800x289.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.design911.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/recaro-classic-pole-position-hero-1660x600-1-1024x370.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.design911.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/recaro-classic-pole-position-hero-1660x600-1-768x278.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.design911.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/recaro-classic-pole-position-hero-1660x600-1-1536x555.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.design911.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/recaro-classic-pole-position-hero-1660x600-1.jpg 1660w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In sports cars, there tends to be one seat style that is perfect for a driver that wants to take their pride and enjoy to the limits, whether that be a spirited back road or setting a lap time on a track. The bucket seat has changed since its inception, from seats that don\u2019t even have a headrest, to body hugging carbon shells we see in cars like the GT2RS. For a while now, there has been one name in the seat industry that is regarded as one of the best, that being Recaro. Founded on the 1<sup>st<\/sup>\u00a0October 1906, the company was first known for building limo body\u2019s during the 1920s, and in 1949 they built the body for the 356, a car that put Porsche on the map. Recaro now offer a wide range of seats, from airplane seats, to hardcore fixed carbon fibre buckets, they offer a seating option that is right for your car.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3666\" src=\"https:\/\/www.design911.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Interior-Small-750x500.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.design911.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Interior-Small-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.design911.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Interior-Small-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.design911.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Interior-Small-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.design911.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Interior-Small-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.design911.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Interior-Small-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But what about a seat that fits an air cooled 911, while not looking too modern and out of place, well they might just have the seat for you. The Recaro pole position racing bucket is a seat that has similar design ques to seats that have been seen in cars like the 964 RS and the 993 RS. These seats feature distinctive 3-point seat belt passthroughs, comfortable lumbar support and they are made out of a lightweight Glass fibre shell, making these seats a massive weight reduction to the standard 993 seats. In this case, the seats have been fitted to a wonderful 993 Targa, a car that we have done additional modifications to, like the MOMO race steering wheel, a modification that goes hand in hand with the seats.<\/p>\n<p>Design911 sells this seat kit to provide owners with a choice of seat that is right for them, a seat that will make their 911 feel like a true race car for the road, while not having race car levels of discomfort.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.design911.com\/RECARO-Pole-Position&#8211;ABE&#8211;Race-Seats-Porsche-964&#8212;993-RS-Look-Kit\/prod147492\/?source=doofinder<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When driving a car for the first time, there are a few things that always stick out.
