In the Seats of Luxury
By Luxury, I’m not talking about comfortable, fluffy cushions and thick cow-hide… I’m talking about luxury in terms of hard, super lightweight carbon fiber.
A glance at these Technocraft T-1 seats and you will know they mean business, both in terms of lucrativeness and awesomeness.
Made out of high quality pre-preg dry carbon, one seat comes in at 6lbs. The price tag is not such a small number, however, coming in at $2699 each.
The Technocrafts are still a flea-market bargain compared to the ultimate Recaro seats, the Recaro SP-X CL100’s. This was a Euro and Japanese conjunction with Recaro and a shop called ASM from Japan. They’re also around $20,000 for the pair. That’s over triple the price for a pair of the T-1’s.
Why are these so much more expensive than the T-1’s? The Recaros are reclinable whereas the T-1’s are fixed, and also consist of more complex structural shapes with sharp edges. Aside from more structural framework design, the CL100’s also have more detailed upholstery with an alcantara and leather mix. Still, the leather better be from a show-winning goat, and sown together by a Goddess for that price tag.
Regardless, both these seats are very baller, and a great display of craftsmanship.
