    I keep reading there are different type of seats for the 360. Attached is a photo of my seats. They can be adjusted electrically. Can someone please tell me which style of seat I have?

    Can someone explain the other seat options that were available?

    Thanks!

    These are the regular 360 electrically adjustable seats, like mine but I have them in black.

    The most comfortable seat IMO

    Great support too

    I'd call them orange myself.

    Only people who don't have Daytona seats dis Daytona seats. They are what virtually everone wants.

    Guys...I am a newbie trying to learn as much about my car as possible. I am posting sincere questions regardless of they seem silly or not. So, with that said, are my seats actually what are referred to as Daytona Seats?

    I am not sure what "dis" means, but I do not prefer Daytona seats. I passed on many a 430 because of it. I polled all of my demographic (ladies and gents) and nobody picked the Daytonas. This was especially true for the multi color Daytonas. So for my target audience; "me", and my constituents, the Daytonas were the last pick with the Challenge and Normal getting most of the votes. The Challenge and Racing seats are quite rare but would have not been a problem if the perfect car had them.

    I am glad you like your Daytona seats, and I respect your seat decision.

    In my opinion there are 3 different styles depending on how you view your Ferrari car :

    1) If you like vintage Ferraris and view your Ferrari as a classic car that should hint at Ferrari's history and previous models (see 365 GTB, 512 BB, Dino etc) then : DAYTONA seats are for you

    2) If you like racing Ferraris and track the car a lot or just want to have a Challenge Stradale / Scuderia look and feel in your car, and are willing to make a small compromise in comfort vs the benefit of support, then : RACING SPORT seats are for you

    3) If you like the original look of your Ferrari, just as Ferrari launched the car, and also want a good mix between sports look and luxury, then : STANDARD seats are for you

    I have the sport seat option. Attached is a picture. This is essentially a CS seat with a leather covering.
