The F430-Scuderia/16M is one of the rarest and most comfortable seats we have ever offered. This particular model is a gey alcantara body with a black alcantara center. The seat has white stitching along with a white embroidered horse on the headrest. Although it looks strange to have the cut out area around your kidneys and the opening between your knees, this ergonomic change from Ferrari has proven to be one of their most comfortable seats yet! The entire rear shell and side trim is clear coated carbon fiber (not a "carbon print"). The headrest has an opening at the shoulders for racing belts, giving away it's true racing heritage.
This is an authentic and original seat removed from a very rare and special edition new F430 Scuderia at a European dealer delivery.
The seat base is an average width with a deep and comfortable back, and this sculpted design fits any modern office. The seatback tilt can be adjusted with a few turns of the carbon fiber knob on the side of the seat.
Your order also includes a custom base color of your choice and integrated arm rests as you see in the last sample picture. Shown here for example is the seat on a solid Rosso Corsa frame. Due to the rariety of this seat, we suggest a more custom design with a black or dark silver metallic flake and contrasting red wheels. We can also do an authentic Scuderia factory paint option or an Italian theme.
We currently have only 1 of these available, the matching seat has been already sold.
Each chair we build is unique, the metal base and frame are actually painted separately for each order with a professional automotive quality paint job in a deep, high gloss metallic paint. Your price includes a custom color of your choice. Match it to your existing car's paint, a trim color in your office or anything else you desire. We only need a paint sample or paint code to get finish you chair. We always have a few metallic silver and metallic black bases in stock for rush orders, for the custom paint it is a 3 week processing time.
***After you place your order, you will be contacted to discuss and pick your custom base color***
The mechanics of the bases are a Synchro knee-tilter from Global's Ride collection. They are a full metal base and frame with sculpted sport wheels. The smooth synchronous tilting action maintains constant contact and support for your body in all postures. There are sculpted shift levers at the side of the seat to control the synchro tilt mechanism and seat height. The rotating pivot arms are height adjustable.
Racechairs come from actual exotic sports cars and racecars. We find late model race conversions and parts cars and acquire the seats from around the world. Once we receive a new seat, it is disassembled, the leather is cleaned and conditioned, the unnecessary hardware is removed and a custom bracket is created to place the seat in the optimal position.
SEAT CONDITION = NEW
Because Leather has natural markings, and these seats do come from a pre-owned vehicle, some wear on the seat is to be expected. We have implemented a rating system to more accurately describe each chairs condition.
