Sparco QRT-K Carbon Kevlar Racing Seat
The Sparco QRT-K Carbon Kevlar Racing Seat combines ultra-lightweight construction, advanced composite materials, and race-proven ergonomics to create one of the most impressive competition seats in the Sparco lineup. Constructed from aerospace-grade pre-preg Carbon Kevlar composite, the QRT-K delivers exceptional strength, rigidity, and weight savings while showcasing the distinctive exposed yellow-and-black Carbon Kevlar weave.
Based on the proven QRT-R platform, the QRT-K was specifically engineered to accommodate larger drivers without sacrificing cockpit fitment. Its innovative shell design comfortably fits drivers up to approximately a 36-inch waist while maintaining compact exterior dimensions that allow installation in many sports cars and race vehicles where larger seats typically struggle to fit.
Weighing just 13.5 lb (6.1 kg) fully trimmed with upholstery, padding, and harness guides, the QRT-K delivers premium motorsport performance with exceptional driver comfort and support.
Advanced Carbon Kevlar Construction
The QRT-K utilizes aerospace-grade pre-preg Carbon Kevlar composite construction to achieve an outstanding strength-to-weight ratio. Carbon fiber provides exceptional rigidity and weight reduction, while Kevlar contributes excellent impact resistance and durability.
The result is a competition seat that delivers outstanding structural performance while showcasing the unmistakable appearance of exposed Carbon Kevlar weave.

Many lightweight racing seats sacrifice driver comfort in pursuit of reduced weight. The Sparco QRT-K takes a different approach by providing increased interior room for larger drivers while maintaining compact exterior dimensions for improved vehicle compatibility.
This unique combination makes the QRT-K an excellent choice for drivers seeking a lightweight FIA-approved seat that doesn't compromise on fitment or comfort.
