Video: The Making of the CTS-V RECARO Seats

There’s no doubt that the Cadillac CTS-V is a performance car “trapped” in a luxury car’s body. That’s why there is no better fit for the car’s seats than those designed by RECARO. To see how these special seats are hand-crafted, check out the Vimeo video above.

RECARO got its start back in 1906 founded by a young saddler named Wilhelm Reutter. From the very beginning, the company made a name for itself in the automobile industry by creating custom coaches, but it wasn’t until 1965 when the company made its mark in motorsports. It was that year that RECARO began being recognized as a brand, providing performance seats for extreme driving applications. Fast forward 56 years, and RECARO is now known world wide as the premier seat company for performance vehicles. It should come as no surprise then that RECARO was the brand of choice when it came to fitting the Cadillac CTS-V with seats.

With every seat hand crafted right down to the stitches that holds it together, the CTS-V’s RECARO seats offer drivers a unique performance fit. They feature 14-way movement, variable side and thigh bolsters, heating and cooling systems and an adjustable lumbar support. They are also ergonomically correct to fit all different driver types. Added to the unique styling and badging just for the CTS-V and it’s no wonder that Cadillac is proud to feature RECARO in their luxury performance car.
