One of the biggest stadia in Japan, the Nagai Stadium, has been fitted out with new seats from Recaro. The stadium was built in 1964 and has a capacity of 50,000. It is also the home stadium of the Cerezo Osaka football team. Many Japanese stadia are now being brought up to European standards. In 2011, the Todoroki Athletics Stadium, home of the Japanese national side, was fitted with Recaro seats. Further stadia are set to follow.

RECARO Ultima 1.0 shells
In a world premier, the first Toyota 86 appeared at a rally last weekend. The Toyota 86 is driving with RECARO Ultima 1.0 seats in the All-Japan Rally Championship. This racing car was built in a collaboration involving TOYOTA GAOZOO and our partner LUCK in Japan.
Last year’s winner, Mr. Norihiko Katsuta, is also driving in Team Luck with a SUBARU Imprezza – naturally also on the RECARO Ultima 1.0.
RECARO wishes the LUCK Rally Team every success!

Even now, the former German rallying champion has yet to hang up his helmet. He is involved in bringing through the next generation of German drivers, works as a TV pundit and still actively races in the Baja. Armin and RECARO have worked together for many years and he takes advantage of his visit to Kirchheim to order his new RECARO racing seats. Armin is quite definite that he never wants to go without his RECARO racing seats now or at any time in the future!
RECARO wishes everyone a Happy Easter!

From 22nd to 23rd March the Retro Classics Show took place at the Stuttgart Messe. At the Recaro Group stand numerous former employees met up – among them rallying legend Walter Röhrl, who did not miss the opportunity to drop by, as he has been driving safely and successfully for 40 years in Recaro seats.
A particular highlight of the Recaro Group stand was a Porsche 356. This was one of the first 500 Porsche cars produced in Germany. Today there are only 50 of these rare vehicles left in the world. The car was built in 1951 at the Reutter works on Augustenstrasse, the subsequent company headquarters of Recaro.

FT-Bh concept car (Picture: Toyota)
In its development Toyota concentrated on five key factors: weight reduction, aerodynamic optimisation, drive efficiency, thermal energy management and energy saving. In short, the priority in the development of this concept car was lightweight construction.
A smaller hybrid drivetrain, optimised energy management and aerodynamics all played their part in reducing the weight of the vehicle. RECARO, too, helped Toyota to achieve its goal of developing a full-blown hybrid vehicle weighing less than 800 kg. The seats have a purist design which complements the general design motif of elongated structures. The seats were developed by RECARO Japan working in partnership with Toyota.

Oversized rear wings with a diffuser apron, striking wheels and the typical design characteristic of the ST (the trapeze-shaped radiator grille) were all met with enthusiasm by Ford customers. The interior also boasts RECARO seats with sporty lines, which reflect the unique dynamic and the characteristic design philosophy of the new Fiesta ST. With pronounced side bolsters and stiff padding, the seats ensure maximum support during sporty and speedy driving. The best-selling sports model will be available in Europe from 2013.
