The perfect fusion.
Sport seat meets racing shell
The Sportster CS carries the geometry of a racing shell on a seat that still reclines. The composite shell holds pronounced side bolsters and a shaped shoulder support, the backrest is adjusted manually, and the frame is released for 3- and 4-point belts in street use. RECARO supplies the same seat to vehicle manufacturers for series and limited-run models, among them the Ford Focus RS.

Supplied to vehicle
manufacturers
RECARO lists the Sportster CS as factory equipment on the models below. Factory fitment is a useful check on whether the shell suits the car, though it is not a substitute for a fitment check on a specific chassis.

|---|---|---|
| Renault | 3 vehicles | Mégane R.S., series and limited edition |
| Toyota | 14 vehicles | 86 GR (option), 86 GRMN (limited edition) |

Sportster CS
Does this seat work with a 3-point belt?
Yes. The shell is released for 3- and 4-point belts in street use, and the shoulder aperture takes a 4-point harness.
What happens to the factory side airbag?
Replacing a factory seat disables the airbag built into that seat. Where the side airbag sits in the door, it is unaffected. Check which layout your car uses before ordering.
Are the baseframe and adapter included?
No. Both are vehicle-specific and ordered separately. The ABE/TÜV certification applies in combination with the RECARO baseframe and adapter.
