Cobra: Keeping one stepahead of the competitionTo gain FIA approval, Cobra seats have to undergo the moststringent testing imaginable – it makes Cobra seats one ofthe safest seats you can buy.Every component of a Cobra seat is meticulously designedto ensure that it offers the ultimate in driver comfort andsafety.Metal components are precision engineeredworkshops to tolerances of less than 0.5mm.inCobra seats use Outlast technology – originally developed forNASA to protect astronauts from temperature fluctuations:microcapsules in a Cobra seat absorb body heat to keep youcool and can release it back to the body as needed. It creates amicroclimate to improve driver comfort.Strategic technical partnerships optimise driver safety andcomfort too.ourSeat shells are manufactured in laboratory conditions toguarantee consistency, quality and strength: moulded inautoclaves with capabilities of 250oC and 7 bar pressure, ourseat materials are fully traceable to source.The foams we use are rate-sensitive: while the foam slowlydeflects under sustained pressure, they behave like stifferfoams when they receive an impact. The foams’ ability todissipate energy prevents them from bottoming out andvirtually no energy is returned to the impacting body.Cobra and SCHROTH Racing collaborate to develop shellgeometry with perfect harness position.Cobra and FHR manufacturers collaborate to ensure CobraSeats optimise the comfort and safety benefits of SCHROTHRacing iNDi seat devices.Cobra and SCHROTH Racing iNDi seat collaborate to createbespoke seats with perfect ergonomics.Cobra seats are upholstered in Dinamica – a wonder fabricthat is stylish, tactile and very durable: it is colour fast andresistant to pilling.3
