Any idea how much these will cost to order and retrofit to our US vehicles?

Kirchheim / Teck, September 2005. With the new lightweight construction shell for the Audi RS 4, seat manufacturer Recaro is once again leading the way in the premium and luxury segment with regard to design and function. The South German company combines lightweight construction from the motor sport industry with the comfort characteristics from the field of ergonomics Sporty design and intuitive functional aesthetics dominate the interior of the Audi RS 4. This is reflected first and foremost in the standard seat from Recaro – the perfect combination of design, lightweight construction and functionality.

No. As of yet, there's been no indication on when/if/ or price on bringing them into the country. Recaro sells their version of the TT quattro Sport seat here already. It's possible they could begin selling a non RS 4 branded version of the seat that could then be retrofitted into other Audis.Interestingly, I took a look at the seat for the new R32, which is similar... though doesn't have the bolster adjustment that this seat does. They're both made by Recaro. As I sort through my Frankfurt press kits and have time to get back to it and post them on Vortex, I'll post them in here.
What I'm wondering is if the 3-door R32 uses the same 3-leg design as the A4/S4 Cabriolet, which I'm told shares design with the A3 3-door. Further, I'm wondering if a 4-door R seat would fit an A3 5-door or even A4. It's all conjecture, as we haven't even determined if the R32 seat will have a side airbag yet, but if it did, then maybe re-skinning an R32 seat with the Audi hide MIGHT be doable for a US retrofit. That said, the seats do appear to have distinct differences, but perhaps just shapes of upholstery segementation is what I'm hoping.

It sucks that the US boung RS4s won't get this seat.
