We’re not a parts reseller or generic car site. We’re curators of Ferrari history, preserving the legacy of factory carbon seats.
At CarbonSeats.com, we are passionate about preserving the legacy of Ferrari’s most iconic factory components—genuine carbon fiber sport seats. Our mission is to celebrate and supply rare, authentic carbon seats that not only elevate the driving experience but also add unparalleled historical value to classic Ferrari models.
A Legacy Built in Carbon
Between the mid-1990s and early 2000s, Ferrari introduced factory carbon fiber seats in select models, offering an ultra-lightweight upgrade that enhanced both form and function. Each model featured a distinct seat design tailored to its chassis, interior layout, and performance goals.
The 550 Maranello introduced wider seat rails. The F355 offers an ideal driver fit, while the 575M Maranello featured pure, stripped-down carbon shells in keeping with its performance DNA. Most of these seats were manufactured by T.I.R., a renowned Italian composite specialist that worked closely with Ferrari for decades. Some late models, like the 550 Barchetta, used Sparco-built versions with subtle design shifts.
From early carbon-Kevlar hybrids to full carbon fiber shells introduced around 1998, these seats marked Ferrari’s commitment to innovation, weight reduction, and motorsport-inspired design. Today, their scarcity makes them prized components for restorers and collectors worldwide.

Originality matters—especially when it comes to factory carbon seats. At CarbonSeats.com, we’ve studied the materials, stitching, embossing, and fitment differences across production years and seat variants. We know how to identify carbon-Kevlar vs. carbon fiber construction, spot Sparco vs. T.I.R. builds, and match factory finishes like Connolly Autolux leather or Alcantara bolsters.
We’re not just selling seats—we’re providing verified history and guidance. Whether you’re completing a concours-level restoration or upgrading your Ferrari with period-correct factory parts, we help ensure accuracy down to the last detail. Our knowledge is your advantage in a niche where authenticity is everything.
