The Sparco ADV Elite carbon competition seat places the driver more upright for a rally-style cockpit. Reduced outer dimensions help package its containment shape where a wider seat would consume valuable cabin space.

Selection and Installation
Compare head-bolster clearance with the door opening and helmet rather than judging fit from waist size alone. Drivers seeking a laid-back GT posture should compare the ADV XT before selecting the Elite.
For regulated competition, retain the seat-specific bracket combination identified in the specification table.
