Lotus Exige Bucket Seat Guide
The Lotus Exige story (00-21)...
A British two-door, two-seat sports car made by Lotus Cars since 2000. Originally a more-hardcore coupé version of the Lotus Elise roadster, since the Series 3 the Exige has been the larger-engined model of the family – using a V6 engine in place of the Elise’s straight 4 with convertible versions of both available.
Once you start using your Lotus Exige for fast road and track use, you’ll soon realize just how much you need new bucket seats to provide more support.Â
On cornering, you may find yourself holding onto the steering wheel tighter than usual, tensing your thighs and legs against the central console and/or door card. You’ll probably find your weight shifting in the seat and having to re-position yourself after the corner.Â
None of this is correct. Your seat should provide the right level of support so that you can grip the steering wheel only for steering, your legs should be supported and your weight shouldn’t shift around. The recommendations we provide are to ensure that you feel comfortable and supported allowing you to focus on the job at hand.Â
We’ve worked closely with our customers to create our Lotus Exige seat guide.
The resulting recommendations are based on previous customer car installations.
Recommended bucket seats:
We recommend these bucket seats based on previous Lotus Exige customer cars.
Tried and tested, we know a wide range of seats, narrow and wide fit your Lotus nicely.

Recommended harness belts:
For the Lotus Exige, we recommend harness belts that are specifically designed to integrate safely with the car’s original mounting points. Two of the best options are from Schroth, both developed for Lotus applications and offering excellent comfort and security:
- Schroth Lotus II ASM Harness: This 4-point harness is tailored for Lotus models and includes Schroth’s ASM (Anti-Submarining) technology. It’s ideal for fast road and occasional track use, providing added safety without requiring extensive modifications to your vehicle.
- Schroth Lotus II FE ASM Harness: Designed with the same Lotus-specific fitment, this version includes FE (push-button release) for added convenience. It combines the proven ASM safety system with the ease of use you’d expect for dual road and track setups.
Both harnesses are available in a range of colours, giving you the chance to match your interior or add a personal touch.

Roll Cage Options for the Lotus Exige
Alongside upgrading your seating and harnesses, a roll cage is one of the most important safety additions for track and competition use. Safety Devices manufacture a range of high-quality bolt-in roll cages specifically designed for the Lotus Exige and Elise platforms. Each cage is precision-engineered for a perfect fit and provides additional chassis rigidity as well as enhanced driver protection.
