In order to further pursue emotive performance in the Nürburgring Package, a weight
reduction of the interior equipment has been achieved.
The adoption of full bucket seats and exclusive CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plas-
tics) parts reduced vehicle weight and helped contribute to improved drivability. Addi-
tionally, the adoption of these interior parts raises the expectation of driving.
■Full bucket seats (Europe only)
In the Nürburgring Package, full bucket seats (RECARO RS-W) have been adopted
to secure a stable driving position across a variety of driving conditions.
For the frame, lightweight and high-rigid CFRP has been adopted, improving drivabil-
ity due to a vehicle weight reduction and achieving a high level of holding performance
even during sharp turns.
Additionally, while maintaining side support performance, the shape of the seats have
been optimized, increasing the ease of getting in and out of the vehicle and improving
daily usability of the vehicle when compar ed to those used on racing vehicles.

■Holding performance
Even during sharp turns, the full bucket seats hold the driver’s body without allowing
any body movement and support accurate steering operations and pedal work.
Also, by keeping one’s posture, eyepoint is maintained, making it possible to judge dis-
tances and respond to object recognition correctly.
With the Nürburgring Package, the full bucket seat’s high holding performance
enables a precise driving position to be held, allowing the driver to enjoy driving at
their will.
■Weight reductions
The weight applied to the center of the vehicle is reduced by adopting lightweight and
high-rigid CFRP for the seat’s frame and Alcantara * for the seat’s upholstery, con-
tributing to an improvement in driving performance.
