The Japanese luxury automaker calls the new seats Variable Load Coupling Rear Orientation (V-LCRO), which significantly reduces movement across the back and seat to keep drivers in place, thereby allowing them to better engage in aggressive turns.
Available as an option, the seat secures the driver in place, refining the functionality of the vehicles' contoured seat-backs.
This also requires the driver to wear a specially designed custom-tailored matching suit that features a complex pattern of hooks and loops that helps create a significant amount of grip at any angle and up to 3.0G - that's three-times the pull of gravity, in any direction.
What it means is that at 3.0G, a person weighing 100kg will now weigh 300kg.

To complement this design, the Lexus RC F and GS F - both equipped with a 467hp naturally aspirated engine, gets exclusive access, for now, to the seats and may be offered as part of the F-Sport package later on.
"The beauty of this technology is its simplicity. With V-LCRO, Lexus has created an unprecedented connection between driver and vehicle, and the impact on the track has been phenomenal," said Lexus F performance racing driver Scott Pruett.
If you still haven't got it by now, watch the end of the video below and the fact it's April 1 to make the connection. Got it? We hope so.
