Modular by size.
One frame, fifteen seat variants
The Expert is built as a kit. Seat cushions come in three versions, S, M and L, which change the length of the seating surface and the height and contour of the cushion bolsters. A short cushion with flat bolsters (S) suits smaller drivers and easier entry; the long cushion (L) carries the thigh of a tall driver. Backrest side bolsters are adjustable as standard.

Turn the seat
The viewer runs on a turntable sequence: 36 frames at 10° steps,
2000 px wide, white background, fixed camera height. Drop them into
assets/360/expert/frame-01.jpg and set data-frames="36".
The RECARO site carries a 3D viewer for this shell. That viewer is proprietary and cannot be reused, so the equivalent here runs on a frame sequence shot in-house. Drag or use the arrow keys once the frames are in place.
Until then the gallery above carries the product render, the vehicle interior and every upholstery variant.
Expert
What is the difference between Expert M and Expert L?
The seat cushion. L carries a longer seating surface and higher cushion bolsters, M sits between S and L. Across the range the difference between S and L is 80 mm of seat depth.
What do LT/W and LT/X mean?
They are RECARO trim codes that follow the cushion version in the part number. LT/W is supplied with the Expert M, LT/X with the Expert L.
Is the backrest adjustment manual or electric?
Both are listed as standard equipment for the Expert. The version is fixed by the part number, so confirm it against the SKU before ordering.
