      They will easily find new investors willing to inject some money in the business particularly with the history and heritage. Although there airline seat producing side of the business is quite successful. You have probably sat in a Recaro airline seat without realising.

    Prices are so high I cannot see how people afford BBS and/or Recaro.

    It’s no surprise they’re going bankrupt.

      They seem a complete bargain compared to Porsche bucket seats

    Recaro is synonymous with racing seats! Our world is really collapsing.

    I think one of the problems is that people don´t modify their cars as much these days like they used to.
    Cause you have so many options when you buy it as new compared to what you had 15-20 years ago.
    So that might be the reason that some nufacturers that are mostly known for aftermarket parts struggle.

      Recaro has a couple of side businesses though. Aircraft seats (both economy & business, with several airlines as customers)., and they even make gaming seats. Maybe Boeings production and delivery issues play a part here.

      The company that makes seats for aircrafts are a different company as the one making for cars.

    Re Recaro: its not surprising considering UK and EU governments pushing EVs and the cessation of IEC cars from 2030. Car manufacturers are suffering badly as result of the non take up of EVs. I’m sure UK and EU car manufacturers will all go back and start making ICE cars again just to stay in business.

      I wondered how long I’d have to go down the comments before seeing EV’s as the blame for this. 1st comment, geez.

    Recaro 😮
    I wonder if it’s a symptom of modern cars in general. The days where we modified our cars has become less common than back in the 80s and 90s max power era.
    So sad

      Yup more cars than ever otr world wide(well suvs cuvs and pickups at any rate)

      And less passion for modifying or customizing your ride than at anytime I’ve ever seen since getting into cars and modding them ipback in the 90s. I ran a car repair shop and I’d say 3-5% of my customers cared at all for their cars beyond treating them like appliances.

    There were 5 cars on one stop . Only GR was DQ . None of the cars do a close out lap at Spa after the race due to lengthy track and fuel ⛽️ load

    Loved it when the Grand Prix was either at Silverstone and/or Brands Hatch, loved Paddock Hill Bend.
    I’ll never forget Keke Rosberg flying through there sideways in the Williams-Honda FW11 at the Grand Prix of Europe in 1985, the speed trap on the approach was over 170 MPH, amazing. It was Our Nige’s first Grand Prix win.
    Surprised that Recaro and BBS are in big trouble, its just the car seat division, not aero and stadium seats.
    I’m not sure all car manufacturers are going to survive, there were too many before the Chinese turned up, my money is on Ford pulling out of Europe

    Really surprised with Recarro You’d think someone would buy the name and keep it going due to how iconic it is.

    Typically when private equity firms get involved in your business, it does not end well for you. They are never interested in your longevity just making money asap.

    Only about 1.5 kilos! That is a huge number. Ask the Alpine guys how hard they fought to reduce 1.5 kilos.
