Sparco S-Light Carbon Fiber Competition Seat

For many years, Sparco seats have been the benchmark in racing seat quality, comfort and technology. The S-Light Carbon Fiber Competition Seat continues that long-standing tradition. The S-Light has a carbon fiber honeycomb composite shell that can withstand stresses of over 2200 pounds and was one of the first seats developed in our new state-of-the-art production facility. The S-Light incorporates many other special features such as a fire retardant cover with an anti-slip fabric in the shoulder and seat areas, split adjustable thigh cushions and special shock absorbing material in the head and side areas.

This is the world's leading producer of racing seats. The new Sparco factory for seats and composite materials in Leini near Turino was defined as being state of the art as regards the design and production of racing seats. Over 60 specialized technicians work in this plant, equipped with autoclaves of a capacity of almost 100.000 litres. The Leini factory caters for the entire production circle, from the design and production of the shell to the quality control of the upholstery. Sparco technicians can experiment and develop new technologies and materials internally, adding to or maintaining the superiority of Sparco seats. Sparco seats are approved (depending on the type) by FIA, TUV and ECE regulations as well as by FMVSS (the American regulations), they are designed using the latest CAD systems and the most advanced design methodologies. Including APQP (Advanced Product Quality Planning), DFMEA (Design Failure Mode Effect Analysis). PFMEA (Process Failure Mode Effect Analysis).
