The RECARO Podium CF is a carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) racing shell seat engineered to meet the combined demands of road and track use.

This version is designed for the right side and finished in Black Alcantara / Red Leather, equipped with Pad Kit M for drivers of medium build.

The lightweight CFRP shell features visible structural elements, an integrated headrest, and pronounced lateral support in both the backrest and seat cushion areas.
