For a quarter of a century, Excellar Auto has been the name behind RECARO in the Philippines—bringing world-class seating solutions to racers, car enthusiasts, and everyday drivers who demand more from their ride. This year, the company marked its 25th anniversary with a milestone event: the official launch of the RECARO RSS, held at the Karerra Showroom, Bloc 10 Filinvest Avenue.
The celebration wasn’t just about looking back—it was about driving forward. With the unveiling of the RECARO RSS, Excellar and RECARO reaffirmed their shared commitment to innovation, comfort, and performance.
The RECARO Philosophy: Where Science Meets the Road
RECARO seats are more than just stylish—they’re engineered with purpose. Built on decades of anatomical research, each seat is designed to support muscle groups, postural alignment, and pelvic stability, helping drivers stay focused and fatigue-free whether they’re chasing lap times or navigating city traffic.
“The launch of the RECARO RSS marks a new chapter in our commitment to performance and comfort,” said Yukari-san, RECARO Japan. 
“We’ve designed this seat to meet the evolving needs of both motorsport professionals and everyday drivers—combining ergonomic excellence with adaptability.”
Bond-san, also from RECARO Japan, added: “With enhanced ventilation, customizable fit, and increased rigidity, the RSS is more than a successor—it’s a statement. 
We’re proud to see this innovation take root in the Philippines through Excellar’s continued dedication to the RECARO legacy.”
Meet the RECARO RSS: The Next Generation Motorsport Shell
The RECARO RSS is the long-awaited successor to the RSG, and it’s built to perform—on the track and on the street. Highlights include:
- Improved ventilation, especially in the lower back
- Lower seating position with a redesigned shell bottom (10mm lower than the RSG)
- Enhanced shoulder comfort with new foam types and thickness options
- Greater rigidity for better performance and durability
- Multiple seating positions in one shell for a personalized fit
- Touring-style accessories for long-distance comfort
Now available in larger FIA-approved sizes, the RSS caters to a wider range of body types. For female drivers, additional side padding ensures a snug, tailored fit—reinforcing RECARO’s commitment to inclusivity and adaptability.
“The launch of the RECARO RSS marks a significant milestone not just for the brand, but for Excellar’s 25-year journey as its official distributor in the Philippines,” said Jeff Tan, President of Excellar Auto.
“This next-generation motorsport shell reflects RECARO’s commitment to innovation, comfort, and adaptability—qualities that Filipino drivers value whether on the track or on the road. We’re proud to bring this cutting-edge seat to our market and continue delivering world-class products to our community.”
What’s Next: New Seats for 2026 and 2027
RECARO continues to evolve with upcoming seat designs that meet global standards. In response to Japanese regulations, future models will feature 45mm headrests, ensuring compliance while maintaining RECARO’s signature style and comfort.
