Inside is where it starts to get a bit weird, with the seats looking like they are made from recycled tyres. They are in fact half-leather and have the Pirelli tread pattern imprinted on them. Yellow stitching contrasts against the black leather of the seats, sports steering wheel and handbrake.

Wouldn't be that bad if they removed the tyre tred pattern - I hope full leather's an option  :wink:

It doesnt look that bad. Maybe its cooler in person.

I reckon the tread pattern will wear quite quickly looking at that :undecided:

Perhaps you have to change the seats when they get to minimum legal depth :grin: :lipsrsealed:

there isnt a full leather option, oh and perhaps the tyre tread will look better when they have worn down a bit LOL, perhaps they need changing when they reach a certain limit  :laugh:

Is it a real Pirelli read pattern?  :rolleyes:

If you look at the compare exterior "view" it lists 18" Pescara Alloy Wheels for the Pirelli

i do like the seats in the pirelli, but i bet no ones thought of this, Will you have to change the seats every 10,000 miles when the tread wears thin with less then 2mm on the seat  :laugh: :laugh:

could be expensive!!
