Tillett B10 Carbon seats Emira (Driver and passenger including trim and seat rails.)
The Tillet B10 is a carbon sport seat that perfectly matchs into the Lotus Interior!
Lets take a look at some of the main benefits and improvements:
EXTRA HEAD & LEG ROOM
As we already touched on, limited cabin space is a big one for Lotus owner - and can actually ruin the ownership experience for taller drivers.
Installing a Tillett seat can immediately address this issue as the seats lower the driver significantly, whilst also going all the way back to the bulk head. This gives taller, longer bodied or longer legged drivers the room to adjust and dial in their perfect driving position. As well as giving that much needed extra leg room, you also get much more head clearance when wearing a helmet for track days - especially important if you fit a roll cage.
WEIGHT SAVING
Depending on your specific Lotus model and specification and the Tillett seat you opt for, you can achieve significant weight-savings.
The stock seats in the new Emira, for example weigh in at 52kg a pair and sit very high in the vehicle. Compare that to a Tillett B10 which weighs just 4.5kg - giving a massive weight reduction of over 82% at 43kg saved (for a pair).
TRACK READINESS
Tillett seats are proven in motorsport, having created winning carbon composite components from kart to production car racing through to manufacturers such as Caterham and Aston Martin.
With Tillett you are sitting in a seat designed to perform, meaning that you have an anatomically superior body-supporting shape, and uprated ergonomics allowing perfect access to driving controls.
HANDLING
As well as providing a more dynamic seat angle, Tillett seats lock the body in position whilst allowing the driver to control the vehicle unhindered by intrusive shoulder support, or movement in a flexible shell.
Additionally, the lowered seating position results in a considerably lower centre of gravity - especially when you consider that in the lightweight Lotus, the weight of driver and passenger is a major part of the overall rolling weight. This directly contributes to improved handling, enhancing stability, traction, reducing body roll, and boosting braking performance.
SAFETY
Because Tillett’s competition programme requires its race seats to be designed to meet very stringent safety standards, they are able to apply the same approach and processes in developing its road-going range. Safety is meticulously integrated into every facet of a Tillett seat, encompassing design, construction, materials, and restraint systems, including features like six-point race harness compatibility and HANS device integration.
EXTRA COMFORT
One of the best improvements, and one which surprises many drivers new to the Tillett brand, is the comfort upgrade they provide. This is mainly down to the accuracy of the profile and shape of the seat, which means that excessive padding (often used to mask a poor structural fit) is simply not required. Most drivers find that a Tillett seat is not only incredibly comfortable, but it is much more comfortable than the stock seats- even over long distance journeys.
THE INSTANT WOW FACTOR
A Tillett seat adds style and drama to any cabin space. In alignment with Lotus' commitment to purposefulness and functionality, a Tillett seat becomes the perfect complement, enhancing the overall aesthetic and functionality of the interior.
