McLaren Leather Seats Original MP4-12C 650S 570S 675LT 720S Seats

the market for Original McLaren Leather Seats is divided into three primary categories: Comfort (Electric/Memory), Sport (Manual), and the highly coveted Carbon Fiber Racing Buckets.

While many seats look similar across the range, the mounting rails, airbag connectors, and leather grades vary between the Sports Series (570S), Super Series (12C, 650S, 675LT), and the newer 720S architecture.

1. Seat Types & Evolution

2. Compatibility & Interchangeability

In 2026, “seat swapping” is a common upgrade for owners looking for more lateral support or weight savings.

• The 12C / 650S / 675LT Connection: These share the same basic chassis architecture. You can bolt 675LT carbon buckets directly into a 12C or 650S. However, if moving from Electric Comfort to Manual Buckets, you will need a “Seat Emulator” to prevent an Airbag/SRS warning light.

• The 570S (Sports Series) Factor: The 570S uses a different electrical harness than the 650S. While the bolts might align, the occupancy sensors and side airbags often use different pin-outs.

• The 720S Generation: 720S seats are generally not backward compatible with the 12C/650S without custom floor plates. The 720S seats sit lower and have a more advanced sensor suite for the ProActive Chassis Control II system.
