Bimarco PL PHANTOM Rally Car Seat Black (FIA)

Bimarco PL PHANTOM Rally Car Seat Black (FIA) – Engineered for Motorsport Excellence

The Bimarco PL PHANTOM Rally Car Seat is meticulously engineered to meet the rigorous demands of competitive rallying and motorsport. With its FIA 8855-1999 homologation, this seat assures compliance with international safety standards, providing peace of mind for drivers on the track. Weighing approximately 10 kg, its lightweight yet durable fiberglass construction contributes to optimal vehicle performance.

Detailed Appearance of the Seat

The Bimarco PHANTOM seat presents a striking, high-back bucket design, predominantly in a sophisticated black color scheme. The front seating surfaces, including the backrest, seat cushion, and prominent side bolsters, are covered in a matte black fabric upholstery, which appears smooth yet subtly textured, suggesting comfortable and firm padding. The high shoulder area seamlessly integrates extended side head supports, offering comprehensive head protection. The backrest features a distinctive pattern of four vertically arranged, wave-like padded forms, contributing to both aesthetics and lumbar support. Two trapezoidal cutouts, reinforced with smooth edges, are positioned near the upper backrest for optimal shoulder harness strap routing. Branding is elegantly incorporated with the "bimarco PHANTOM" logo embroidered in white and red on the upper center of the backrest, and replicated on the right headrest wing and the right-bottom padded protrusion on the seat base. The seat base includes two visible padded support sections at the front. In stark contrast to the matte fabric front, the rear of the seat boasts a smooth, glossy black molded shell, highly reflective and indicative of a rigid composite material like fiberglass. This rear shell subtly echoes the wave patterns of the front padding through embossed detailing. Mounting points are clearly visible as two bolts on each side near the base, exhibiting a typical metal appearance. The overall visual impression is one of professional-grade equipment, built for performance and safety, with clean lines and a pristine finish.
