    There is only one option. Goldrake. They look amazing- like true racing seats. IMHO a must have option. I would not buy a 488 without them.

    I have the most basic seats and am happy with them; on a 360 Modena the basic seats felt like they were borrowed from a sedan car but things have improved generation after generation so now the racing seat are more justified by their look than by their purpose.

    I'm with the Goldrake group....mine are a mix of Black leather and Black Alcantara with Red center stripe, they look great (to me). I'm about to find out how comfortable they are on a long haul, I'll be driving 2300 miles round trip starting late next week, 16 hours straight each way, gas/food stops only. I have a feeling I'll be wishing I had Kirk's seats before I'm done!

    Do you happen to have a photo or two of your seats Jim? I’m considering ordering the exact same spec and would love to see how they came out! Thanks!

    Best of luck with your road trip.

    Yes- Daytona’s are likely more comfortable. But a Honda gets better gas mileage than my Ferrari and yet I’m not rushing out to get one. :)

    Goldrakes look the best and are very comfortable themselves. I wouldn’t buy a Ferrari 488 without them.

    Thank you for input. Goldrake. I didn't know what they were called but THOSE are what I'm getting. Alcantara in the middle.

    Semantics :D … Goldrake seats and Daytona seats do not exist.

    Only "standard seats" or CF racing seats.

    On these seats you can order "Dytona style stripes" or "goldrake" material …

    Just good to know imo … sorry :)

    Image Unavailable, Please Login Carbon fiber bucket racing seats for me. I’ve had both and definitely prefer the buckets. Lighter and more of a fit for a modern Ferrari IMO.

    Thanks for the pic. Beautiful seats - I'm sold! Now just to decide whether to go with Alcantara on the doors and lower dash. Don't wanna overdo it since I'm sold on Alcantara carpeting. Decisions, decisions... :rolleyes:

    I love the racing seats, fit like a glove especially in high speed turns.
