Sparco ULTRA Carbon Racing Seat
$2,623.00
Sparco ULTRA Carbon Racing Seat – FIA 8855-1999 Approved
Extreme weight reduction meets uncompromising carbon fiber racing seat technology. The Sparco ULTRA Carbon Racing Seat is engineered for serious motorsport competitors who demand exceptional strength, minimal weight, and a low seating position. Constructed from aerospace-grade pre-preg carbon fiber, this ultra-lightweight fixed-back competition seat combines advanced materials with a purpose-built ergonomic design.
Weighing approximately 8.3 lbs (3.8 kg), the Sparco ULTRA Carbon represents one of Sparco's most weight-focused FIA-approved racing seat designs. Its exposed dry carbon construction eliminates traditional upholstery and padding, reducing unnecessary weight while providing a more direct connection between the driver and vehicle.
Designed for narrow racing cockpits, the ULTRA Carbon provides an exceptionally compact profile without sacrificing the contoured support needed during demanding competition. Its sculpted monocoque shell, integrated harness openings, and low seating position make it an outstanding choice for lightweight race cars, time attack builds, and competition vehicles where every pound matters.
Sparco ULTRA Carbon Racing Seat Features
FIA 8855-1999 Homologated: Competition racing seat designed to meet recognized FIA safety requirements.
Ultra-Lightweight Construction: Approximately 8.3 lbs (3.8 kg) for exceptional weight savings.
Pre-Preg Carbon Fiber Shell: Aerospace-grade dry carbon construction delivers excellent strength with minimal weight.
Exposed Carbon Finish: Uncovered carbon fiber shell eliminates conventional fabric upholstery and padding.
Low Seating Position: Thin, sculpted shell allows the driver to sit lower in the vehicle.
Narrow Cockpit Compatibility: Compact exterior dimensions help accommodate restricted racing interiors.
Ergonomic Monocoque Design: Integrated lumbar contouring and carefully engineered recline provide natural driver support.
Direct Chassis Feedback: Minimal cushioning allows drivers to experience a more connected seating position.
Integrated Harness Openings: Shoulder harness pass-through openings accommodate compatible motorsport harness systems.
Side-Mount Installation: Designed for installation using compatible Sparco aluminum side brackets.
Premium Racing Appearance: Glossy exposed carbon weave delivers a distinctive professional motorsport finish.
Ultra-Lightweight Pre-Preg Carbon Fiber Construction
The Sparco ULTRA Carbon Racing Seat uses advanced pre-preg carbon fiber technology to achieve an outstanding strength-to-weight ratio.
Unlike conventional composite racing seats, which often rely on thicker shells, padding, and upholstery, the ULTRA Carbon focuses on minimizing material weight while maintaining the structural performance required for competition.
Pre-preg carbon fiber construction utilizes reinforcement materials impregnated with a controlled amount of resin. This manufacturing method supports consistent material distribution and efficient structural design.
The result is a lightweight carbon fiber monocoque shell that provides an exceptionally direct seating experience without unnecessary layers or bulk.
Designed for Narrow Racing Cockpits
Many competition vehicles have limited interior space, especially when equipped with roll cages, door bars, center tunnels, and specialized safety equipment.
The Sparco ULTRA Carbon addresses these challenges with a compact, low-profile shell that allows installation in tight racing environments.
Its streamlined side profile and carefully contoured seating area help maximize available cockpit space while supporting a secure driving position.
This makes the ULTRA Carbon especially appealing for lightweight race car builds, track-focused vehicles, and custom motorsport applications where traditional racing seats may be too wide or bulky.
Lower Seating Position and Improved Chassis Feedback
The ULTRA Carbon eliminates conventional fabric upholstery and thick foam padding to create a seating surface that is both exceptionally lightweight and remarkably direct.
By positioning the driver closer to the carbon shell, the seat can help lower the seating position compared with bulkier upholstered alternatives, depending on the mounting configuration.
A lower seating position can improve helmet clearance, accommodate drivers within tight roll cage structures, and support more favorable driver positioning in competition vehicles.
The rigid carbon construction also provides direct feedback from the vehicle chassis, allowing drivers to feel more connected to the car's movement during acceleration, braking, and cornering.
Ergonomic Support Without Traditional Upholstery
Despite its minimalist appearance, the Sparco ULTRA Carbon is engineered with driver ergonomics in mind.
The one-piece carbon shell incorporates carefully shaped back support, lumbar contouring, and a natural recline angle intended to accommodate the driver's seated position.
Its sculpted seating surface supports the body without requiring traditional foam cushions or fabric coverings.
Drivers should evaluate the seat's shape and dimensions carefully to ensure a secure fit, particularly when selecting a seat for extended endurance racing sessions.
FIA 8855-1999 Racing Seat Homologation
The Sparco ULTRA Carbon carries FIA 8855-1999 homologation and is designed for use in motorsport applications requiring an approved fixed-back competition seat.
Its lightweight carbon construction and competition-focused design make it suitable for professional and amateur racing applications where the seat complies with the applicable sanctioning body's regulations.
Always verify the seat's homologation label, expiration requirements, mounting configuration, and competition eligibility before installation.

Sparco EVO Carbon Fiber Racing Seats
As Sparco's most well known competition seat, it was a no-brainer to provide the refreshed Evo with Sparco's QRT Ultra-Light Technology. Not content to leave well enough alone, Sparco went a step further by improving the overall fit and feel of the Sparco Evo Carbon Fiber. Starting with the shoulder bolsters, Sparco trimmed down the width to help fitment into smaller cars without sacrificing support. Sparco then lowered the side bolsters just enough to improve ingress/egress into/out of the car. Finally, the shoulder belt guides have been raised for improved harness fit in all drivers. With small sports cars in mind (the Sparco Evo Carbon Fiber fits perfectly in a Miata!), the Sparco Evo Carbon Fiber is sure be a mainstay at the track!
The EVO Carbon is the all-carbon fiber version of the EVO QRT. It is constructed with “Pre-Preg” aerospace grade carbon fiber, also known as Dry Carbon. EVO Carbon is one of the lightest carbon fiber seats on the market. It weighs less than 10lbs (shell only) and 12lbs (with padding and cover). The EVO Carbon is has excellent fitment into smaller cockpits. The EVO series of seats feature the most back angle rake of all Sparco seats for a very comfortable driving position. It also has high grip material in strategic places such as the shoulder bolsters and seat bottom to aid in lateral support. The EVO Carbon is FIA 8859-1999 approved.
