    Does anyone know if the standard (non racing seats) are height adjustable or is the Full Electric seat option needed?

    Thanks

    I haver ordered the CF racing seats and believe also the full electric seat option.
    Surely, that means that the seats are adjustable for height and position.

    I have CF racing seats in my F8 and the manual lifter is the only option.

    I swear I saw in some video of the 296 on youtube someone lifting the CF driver seat electronically. It was a simple and small toggle. Impossible to confuse with the "cheap" plastic mecanic/manual lifter...

    You're correct, in the SF90 and 296 GTB/GTS with the redesigned CF seats only option is an electric lifter.

    Not Correct. RSES (racing seat lifter) is an option on 296. It's manual. See attached.

    Not sure really. But these are the racing seats. The car has the RSES option. And the driver seat seems to have the small toggle I have seen being activated on some video. And I do not see the mecanical lift system...

    My pix below are taken from video at around the 8:00 minute mark...

    Sorry for the OP... did not realize that the question was for non racing seat.

    But as I am writing this message I can confirm 100% if it is to some use to anyone that it is now an electric lift option for the carbon driver seat. No longer the plastic mecanical lever...

    I added it to my placed order for the 296. Just an additional CHF 2'100 option. But who is keeping count...
