Naturally, a Porsche-inspired gaming chair would be priced like a sports car

Porsche has entered a rather unexpected collaboration with seat manufacturer RECARO to produce a gaming chair based on the former’s sports cars. 

With the rather unsexy moniker, RECARO x Porsche Gaming Chair Limited Edition(opens in new tab), the chair leans more into comfort than race-car-inspired fashion — and that's probably a good thing.

Gaming chairs are famously lacking in ergonomics as manufacturers tend to prefer a flashy look over comfort. And gaming or working for hours on end, you will definitely begin to feel some pain in your lower back. Addressing this directly, the Porsche Gaming Chair comes with an “anti-submarining seat ramp”, meaning the cushion sits at an upward angle, and “firm lumbar support”. All this rests on top of a lightweight aluminum base so gamers can sit comfortably on the chair and not worry about sliding off.

Porsche adds that the chair is made out of “high-quality upholstery foam and breathable fabrics” for a comfortable seat all year around; definitely a welcomed feature for those hot, summer days. And the final notable feature is the 5D armrest that can be adjusted in numerous ways for that perfect fit. Everything put together, you can game sitting in an upright posture without having to deal with twinges in your back. It’s always good practice to get up and stretch your legs a bit after hours of sitting (speaking from experience here).

Staying true to its name, the Porsche Gaming Chair Limited Edition will indeed be limited to 911 units. That seemingly random number is most likely a reference to the latest car model of the Porsche 911 GT3 R. Pre-orders are available right now for a whopping $2,499. It’s shipping date is set for March 15.
