It's no longer a secret that the Blue Oval will go all out at this year's Detroit Auto Show. The 2016 Ford Focus RS, 2016 F-150 SVT Raptor and 2016 Shelby GT350 Mustang are officially confirmed, even though it's not known yet whether the Shelby GT350R Mustang and all-new GT supercar will debut as well.
Nevertheless, Monday morning will put an end to the mystery, but until then, the best name in automotive seating confirmed that NAIAS 2015 is the place where the company will showcase four all-new seating solutions. One of them is represented by the so-called Performance Luxury Seats option available for the 2016 Cadillac ATS-V. The hand-crafted leather seats have perforated Miko suede trim covers, as well as top stitching and integrated headrests with sporty cutouts.

The Recaro Sport Seat Platform also makes its American market debut, showcasing its new modular seat design and carbon and foam materials application. The customizable seating solution has a modular design that's offering nearly endless options to customize the look and feel of sport performance car seats, utilizing a cost-effective, lightweight, ergonomic, space-saving concept.

Furthermore, the Recaro Composite Seat Concept is presented as a unique design collaboration between supplier and OEM customers to create a cross-platform performance luxury seat. It combines a specifically designed Recaro composite construction backrest with an OEM subframe. One of the most recent applications of this concept is offered as an option on the potent Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG.

Last but not least, the 2016 Shelby GT350 Mustang's Performance Luxury Seats will also be showcased by Recaro. Slated to be offered as an optional bit of equipment on the all-new Voodoo 5.2-liter naturally aspirated V8-powered Shelby GT350 'Stang, the hand-crafted Recaro seats complement the American performance vehicle by offering plenty of support while being comfortable for everyday driving too.
