SEATING & DRIVER ENVIRONMENT

This example is equipped with the factory cloth and suede seats, which are often preferred by drivers over the optional leather sport seats for their more focused, driver-oriented design.The base seats feature a thinner seatback profile, deeper bolstering, and tighter seating pockets, allowing the driver to sit lower and more securely in the chassis. The result is a more planted and connected driving position, particularly during spirited driving.Compared to the uprated sport seat option, this configuration provides a more fitted feel that keeps the driver stable and focused on the road, making it a preferred setup for many enthusiasts.
