Ferrari is developing new seat technology that allows drivers of all sizes to easily find the ideal seating position with maximum support. The seat will be divided into 7 separate sections connected to the seat’s central spine.

In low-volume supercars, especially those focused on high performance, the pads are usually glued to the monocoque frame, with these pads providing support to the occupant while keeping the weight of cabin amenities to a minimum. But these details are never adjustable and the only alternative solution is a seat with adjustable backrest tilt and seat angle. Ferrari’s solution not only reduces weight but also significantly increases the adjustability range for each seat component.

Note that Ferrari has previously explored cabin adjustments to fit various body types and Lamborghini has been granted a patent for adjustable seats with independent moving parts. Ferrari’s new concept seems to be a combination and improvement of both. However, this design shows a fixed seat mounted on the seat’s central spine in the cabin, containing the transmission and engine to move the seat with the assistance of hydraulically operated control rods.

This system works by dividing the seat into seven separate sections, each section having three levels of motion, and each section moves along the planes, meaning up, down, forward, backward, left, and right in a straight line. This means that your thigh support, headrest, side bolsters, and even your seat cushion can all be moved in various directions to precisely meet your requirements.

While it would be technically possible to activate such motion with separate levers and manually operated drive systems, Ferrari’s customers would scoff at such effort, so this system is electronically operated and can store multiple different settings, much like current memory seats.

What the current seats cannot do is use cameras to detect the occupant’s posture and automatically adjust the individual parts of the seat accordingly. Ferrari’s invention can do that and even adapt in real-time.
