    Apparently F40 seats were available in 3 different sizes. Does anyone have the dimensions of each version? I suspect mine is a large size as there is plenty of hip space. Sitting in another F40 last weekend, the fit was more snug with greater clearance between the seat and the carbon fibre bodywork. Might be interested to swap for a smaller seat.

    They only came in one size but there are aftermarket options of a large seat.

    I've verified this info with the classiche department.

    I have a set of what is called the "big man seats" which are 6 centimeters wider. They're the the same
    identical carbon/kevlar/epoxy vacuum bagged seats as the normal (non-US) 1 piece seats. I'm having
    them recovered currently w/ the factory red Nomex material... they should be finished towards the end
    of January. Seat shells weighed about 6 lbs each (if I remember correctly) without sliders & upholstery.
    I'll be putting them up for sale sometime after they're finished. Not sure what to ask for them... as I think
    I've seen Ferrari's last price on them was $23K (each seat). Has anybody seen what a set of the non-US
    one piece seats with brand new factory Nomex material have sold for recently? If you need a bit of extra
    space (6CM) to feel comfortable sitting in the car, these would be the seats to have. I'm thinking maybe
    asking $19K or so for the pair depending how nice my upholsterer does on them. He has 20 plus years of
    experience doing one-off exotic interiors... and these seats are pretty simple... so they should turn out
    looking "factory".

    I also have another pair of the "normal" non-US one piece seats that will have brand spanking new red
    Nomex upholstery on them, sometime also in February. Great for anyone who has a concourse car with
    fading or edge-worn seats. Probably be asking the same price I'd imagine. I'll post some photos when
    I get them back from upholstery.

    If anyone can help a bit... I'm trying to get very accurate measurements for the
    stitching on the non-US one piece seats. Also a nice close up shot of the special design stitching (logo) between the shoulder blades, on the seat.
