Cobra Nogaro Street Bucket Seat Now On Display
The Cobra Nogaro Street bucket seat is the perfect balance of track-ready support and road-going comfort, and we now have it on display in-store ready for viewing and testing. With its sleek styling, lightweight GRP shell, and thoughtful ergonomics, the Nogaro stands out as a fixed-back bucket seat you can live with daily. It’s designed to offer the secure feel of a motorsport seat without the harsh compromises typically associated with FIA-approved shells. The design is slim enough to fit compact cars like the MX-5 and GT86, while still offering enough shoulder room for larger vehicles. Whether you’re driving to work or heading to a weekend track day, the Nogaro is a true dual-purpose seat with comfort, quality, and support rolled into one.
The Nogaro is also easy to install with Cobra-specific side mounts for a clean, flush fit. It’s compatible with standard seat belts and even allows for slider rails if you want adjustability. While it’s not FIA-approved, that’s a benefit for many users—it means added padding, factory seat belt compatibility, and optional comfort extras like heaters and lumbar support. Perfect for drivers with sporty road cars or casual track builds, the Nogaro is made for enthusiasts who want a more immersive driving experience without sacrificing usability.
Our Cobra Nogaro In-Store Seat Collecton
We also have both the Cobra Nogaro Circuit and Club bucket seats on our displays at our showroom ready for viewing and testing in-store. We can sell each seat in pairs as we have two of each seat in-store ready for immediate dispatch or collection from our showroom. The difference between our in-store Cobra Nogaro seat range is that the Nogaro Circuit and Street have a vinyl trim material with or without harness slots whereas the Nogaro Club comes in fabric.Â
The Nogaro is available in two shell materials, GRP and Carbon and with or without harness slots in a wide range of fabrics, colours, and custom trim options. We have separate listings sold in pairs that are on our fast dispatch page where all seats available in-store as pairs can be found. The Cobra Nogaro seat range is not FIA-approved but are great for the road and track as they have support at the shoulders and thigh areas from its deep bucket design that will pin you in your seat even around fast corners.

Seat Dimensions & Fitment – Will It Work for Your Car?
When choosing a bucket seat, sizing is everything — both for driver comfort and vehicle compatibility. The Cobra Nogaro was designed from the ground up to offer a snug, supportive fit without sacrificing accessibility, making it one of the most versatile fixed-back seats on the market.
Base Width (External): ~490mm – This compact base design allows the seat to slide into tighter cabins like the Mazda MX-5, Toyota GT86/BRZ, or Mini Cooper without interfering with the center tunnel or door cards.
Shoulder Width: ~560mm – Offers broad support for your upper body, ideal for performance driving, while still slim enough to avoid installation issues in most two-seaters and coupes.
Seat Height: ~910mm – Comparable to most OEM seats, so it won’t obstruct visibility or headroom, even for taller drivers.
Depth: ~710mm – Includes the natural recline angle, which means it won’t eat into your legroom or force you into an awkward seating position.
Internal Width at Base (Hip Area): ~330mm – Comfortably fits drivers up to 36-inch waist sizes, giving a snug but not restrictive feel for spirited driving.
Ideal Vehicle Types: Hot hatches, performance saloons, coupes, GT cars, and retro builds.
Thanks to its slimline lower design and taller, supportive upper body profile, the Cobra Nogaro is a great fit for both compact sports cars and larger GT vehicles alike. Whether you’re building a weekend track toy or upgrading your road-going classic, the Nogaro’s thoughtful shape ensures that it won’t overpower your interior, visually or physically.
Installation Tips – Getting the Right Fit for Your Build
Installing the Cobra Nogaro Street seat is straightforward when paired with the right mounting hardware, and getting the fit right can make a huge difference in both comfort and usability. This seat is side-mounted, which means it bolts onto mounting brackets using threaded holes on each side of the shell. To get the best results, we recommend using the Cobra Nogaro-specific side mounts. These are designed to follow the unique contours of the Nogaro shell, ensuring a tight, secure, and flush-fitting installation with no awkward gaps or misalignment.
The Nogaro side mounts are also low-profile, which helps drop the seating position lower in the cabin—especially helpful for taller drivers or anyone wearing a helmet on track. These mounts are fully compatible with standard 345mm sliding runner kits, allowing for fore/aft adjustability that makes everyday driving and shared use more practical. If you’re building a dedicated track car, you can also skip the sliders and hard-mount the brackets directly to the floor or a fixed base for improved rigidity and weight savings.
Whether you choose a fixed or adjustable setup, just make sure:
- All bolts are high-grade motorsport-spec and torqued to manufacturer spec.
- The seat is properly aligned with the steering wheel and pedals.
- Your seat belt or harness setup is compatible and mounted securely.
Ideal Uses – Where the Cobra Nogaro Shines
The Cobra Nogaro Street is built for performance enthusiasts who want more out of their seat without sacrificing everyday comfort. It’s not FIA-approved, and that’s actually one of its greatest strengths. Why? Because without the strict design limitations that come with FIA homologation, Cobra was able to focus on real-world usability, superior padding, and ergonomic design for long drives.
- Fast Road Use: Perfect for spirited Sunday drives, mountain twisties, or backroad blasts where you want proper lateral support through corners without compromising comfort.
- Daily Driving: Thanks to its extra cushioning, optional seat heaters, and smart belt integration, this is one of the few fixed-back seats that won’t punish you on a commute or a road trip.
- Track Days (Non-Competitive): For HPDEs, open lapping sessions, or novice track days, the Nogaro offers more than enough hold and confidence—especially in the Circuit version, which comes with harness slots for 4-, 5-, or 6-point harnesses.
- Safety and Compatibility: Designed to work seamlessly with standard 3-point seat belts, making it road-legal and stress-free to use without any awkward belt routing. Great for dual-purpose cars that need to stay street-friendly.
In short, if you’re building a car that needs to do double duty on the road and the track, the Cobra Nogaro hits that sweet spot—supportive, stylish, and actually comfortable enough to live with day-to-day.
