The iconic bucket seats in the 1992 NSX-R, 1997 NSX Type S, and 2002 second-generation NSX-R almost took a very different path. Initially, Recaro proposed using fiberglass for the seat shells—a common material in automotive applications due to its low cost and relative strength. However, Honda’s NSX development team had higher ambitions. They knew fiberglass would be too heavy to meet the NSX’s uncompromising performance goals, so they rejected the idea outright.

Recaro responded with an extraordinary alternative: carbon aramid composite. This lightweight and incredibly strong material was more commonly reserved for racing cars, not production vehicles. Even Recaro doubted the proposal would be accepted due to its high cost and complexity, but Honda surprised them by saying “yes.” This bold decision not only made the seats lighter and stronger but also set a new benchmark for innovation in mass-produced sports cars.

This same dedication to excellence drives our Type R seat shells at MITA Motorsports. Like Honda, we refused to compromise with fiberglass. Instead, we meticulously crafted our shells using five layers of carbon fiber, including a final layer of dry carbon Kevlar for added strength and the signature iconic weave. By replicating the exact NSX-R ergonomics and finishing with authentic NSX-R fabrics, we ensure that every detail reflects Honda’s groundbreaking vision.

The NSX-R’s bucket seats were born from a refusal to settle for “good enough,” and we carry that same ethos forward. Fiberglass might have been easier and cheaper, but true performance demands innovation, just as Honda proved decades ago—and just as we continue to demonstrate today.
