Sports bucket seats.*
Sports bucket seats are available as
an option and feature a folding backrest,
integrated thorax airbag and manual fore/
aft adjustment. The carbon surface finish
conceals a seat shell in glass-/carbon-
fibre reinforced plastic.
Seat heating and ventilation.
Seat heating is available as an option for
all seats.** Seats are heated in the squab,
backrest and side bolsters. In conjunction
with seat heating, we can equip the seats
(excluding Sports bucket seats) with seat
ventilation on request. A slipstream effect
is produced by active ventilation of the
perforated seat centre and backrest and
by passive aeration at the side bolsters.
This evaporates perspiration moisture
and therefore makes for a dry and pleas-
ant seating environment, even in hot
weather.
Fully electric Sports seats.
If you don’t want to sacrifice sportiness for
comfort, the optional fully electric Sports
seats offer fully electric adjustment of
seat height, backrest angle, squab angle
and squab depth. Also elec trically operat-
ed are the fore/aft adjustment, four-way
lumbar support and even the steering col-
umn. The included memory package sup-
ports a range of set tings,
including both
exterior mirrors and all driv
er’s seat and
steering wheel positions.
Adaptive Sports seats Plus.
For a stronger connection bet ween sport
and comfort, adaptive Sports seats Plus
are available on request. These are an
enhanced version of the distinctive Sports
seats Plus with the added functionalit y of
fully electric adjustment of both the seat
and the side bolsters on the squab and
backrest.
Sports seats.
The standard Sports seats are comfor-
table and provide support even when the
car is driven hard into corners. The seat
centres are finished in Alcantara. Electric
backrest adjustment and manual height
and fore/af t adjustment are integrated as
st a n d a rd .
Sports seats Plus.
The optional Sports seats Plus are uphol-
stered in smooth -finish leather. The side
bolsters of the seat squab and backrest
are more prominently defined and have
a firmer, more sport y padding for even
bet ter lateral support. To help you find
the optimum posture, the seats feature
electric backrest adjustment and manual
height and fore/aft adjustment.
