| These 2 types of seats from Recaro were introduced at the D1 Grand Prix in the Fuji Speedway. The limited edition versions that have a unique fabric design are available now! |
Recaro entrusts Recaro Japan to develop this model!! |
|
| These newly released 2 models were developed in Japan, not at the home facility in Germany. They were designed to fit small statures of the Japanese people and to fit inside the compact cars that are produced in Japan. The difference between the TS-G and the RS-G is obvious. The TS-G stands for Touring Sports Glass Fiber, having a larger back rest. This new design feels like the back is covered more than the traditional bucket seat. Because of this design, the eye level is significantly lowered. This seat may be ideal for cars with low roof lines such as the RX-7 or Silvia, which will provide more head clearance. The RS-G stands for Rally Sports Glass Fiber has a back rest a similar shape as Recaro's best seat, the SP-G. | These 2 new models have a
hip point that is 33mm than the SP-G, a narrow shoulder design for the Japanese
people (550mm), and a hole that is capable for 3 inch harness to pass through.
Of course, these seats comply with the European safety standards, which is one
of the toughest in the world. The TS-G and the RS-G are limited to 150 units in production. After these seats have been sold, Recaro plans to release another set of limited edition seats with a different fabric design. |

TS-G
Compared to the RS-G, the backrest has a distinct bend. Once sat in, the back may feel very flat. This enables a lower eye level and a lower center of gravity as well. |
 |
RS-G
The RS-G has a less extreme back angle. This seat feels very secure in a straierect pght osture. The shape of the backrest is about the same as the Recaro SP-G. |
|
 |
Both of these models have a seat where the rear sinks in deep. The hip point is 33mm lower than the SP-G. These seats hold the hips very snugly, enabling to feel the car even better. |  |
Both these models provide a wide belt hole for those hefty 3 inch harnesses. This enables for easy adjustment of the belts. | |
 |
The TS-G and RS-G have narrower shoulder width (550mm) that suits the Japanese people. This new style has a combination of great support and enough clearance to move the arms. | ||

Shark Iiri's impression
 |
 |
Look, my head doesn't touch the ceiling even with my helmet on! |  |
I can shift gears and access the e-brake freely. | |
 |
Wow! I feel like I'm lying down! It feels like I can see further! | "2DR coupes like the Silvia do not have much head clearance like a sedan. Normally, a bucket seat installed in these vehicles will result in helmets touching the ceilings, no clearance between the seat and door, and the driver feels very difficult to move around. On these seats, the lower hip point eliminates most of the problems while providing great hip support. The seat is also very comfortable, not too hard or soft. My narrow shoulders are supported well, signifying that this seat is ideal for typical Japanese bodies". | |
