Reutter Carosserie<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Recaro, of course, has a long and rich history, the brand having become synonym for excellence in race car seats. Recaro was in fact the continuation of the original \u2018Stuttgarter Carrosserie und Radfabrik\u2019, founded by Wilhelm Reutter in 1903. By 1960, the firm had become become \u2018Karosseriewerk Reutter\u2019, based in the Stuttgart suburb of Zuffenhausen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the producer of the steel coachwork for the 356 models, Reutter was essential to help the sports car brand Porsche develop. In 1963, Reutter sold the coachwork division to Porsche and continued as a car seat producer; Reutter Carosserie or Recaro in short. The small bucket seat, giving the driver more enveloped body support, made Recaro famous, once again through Porsche.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benchmark<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even today, Recaro sets the benchmark in racing seats, continuously developing to new safety standards. The insolvency plea shows Recaro Automotive is currently not capable of paying its bills, a situation that followed from the current decline in car sales. The court has appointed lawyer Holger Bl\u00fcmle as the temporary receiver, tasked with investigating the options for the beleaguered firm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
