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

In low-volume supercars, especially those focused on high performance, the pads are typically glued to the monocoque frame. These pads provide support to the occupant while keeping the weight of the cabin amenities to a minimum. However, these details are not adjustable, and the only alternative solution is a seat with an adjustable backrest tilt and seat angle. Ferrari’s solution not only reduces weight but also significantly increases the range of adjustability for each seat component.

It is worth noting that Ferrari has previously explored cabin adjustments to accommodate 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 approaches. However, this design features a fixed seat mounted on the seat’s central spine in the cabin, which contains the transmission and engine to facilitate seat movement with the assistance of hydraulically operated control rods.

This system works by dividing the seat into seven separate sections, with each section having three levels of motion. Each section can move along multiple axes, allowing for precise adjustments in various directions, including up, down, forward, backward, left, and right. This means that the thigh support, headrest, side bolsters, and even the seat cushion can all be adjusted to meet your exact specifications.

While it would be technically possible to manually activate this motion with separate levers and drive systems, Ferrari’s customers would find such effort inconvenient. As a result, this system is electronically operated and can store multiple different settings, similar to current memory seats.

What sets this new invention apart is the ability to use cameras to detect the occupant’s posture and automatically adjust the individual parts of the seat accordingly. This advanced feature allows the seat to adapt in real-time to provide the utmost comfort and support.
