The Recaro Pole Position ABE has been designed to be their road-going version of the FIA. So what does this actually mean? Firstly the seat is available with a wider range of trim designs including ambla-leather and alcantara. These are trims Recaro regularly used with their road-going seats. Secondly, and most importantly it’s actually physically wider at the hips.

Both Recaro Pole Position seats share the same footprint into the vehicle and are identical in their height and shoulder positions. However, the ABE version flares out at the hip bones. This feature has been included to make the Pole Position more ergonomic for daily use and road use, while also allowing people with wider hips to fit the seat with more comfort.
