Tillett B5 seats, racing seats specifically designed for the Lotus Elise and Exige. The new rigid B5 seat weighs from 5.7 to 6.7 kg, designed especially to suit the Lotus Elise and Exige models.
The seat angle is a regular saloon car angle and the small narrow size of the B5 means that many other vehicle applications are possible with this seat. The B5 sits the driver very low in the car which reduces the likelihood of hitting the crash helmet on the roll cage. This benefits the taller driver who may have problems in other seats and also helps lower the centre of gravity. The side profile developed from years of manufacturing kart racing seats gives excellent support and leaves the shoulders free to help steer the car unhindered. Although the seat is small it can fit a surprisingly large range of driver sizes and the seat has been designed to be compatible with a HANS/FHR device. The B5 is available in a black GRP composite format or a carbon fibre version.
The seat is supplied with a Dinamica suede covered headrest pad as standard, but can also be supplied with matching back and cushion panels at extra cost (as displayed).
