The Cobra Sebring LP GT Pro-Fit in fibreglass, homologated to FIA 8855-1999. Part number COBSEBLP-GT-PF.
The wider shell
GT is the wider of the two Sebring shell widths, adding 30mm across. If competition seats have felt tight through the hips or ribs, or you race in a full suit and underwear and want the shell to hold you rather than squeeze you, that 30mm is what you are after.
Measure over the kit you actually compete in. A waist figure taken over a shirt is not the number that matters when you are in three layers and a harness.
The shell
935mm tall, 690mm deep on a 500mm base. Cobra’s closed moulding system, so it is very rigid and the lightest in its class.
Engineered for drivers up to 190cm at the shoulder and head restraint, with the geometry to those areas and the harness slots held correct so a HANS device functions properly. A shell that gains height by breaking that relationship is not doing you a favour.
36 combinations
Base and knee cushion in LO, MID or HI, backrest in LO or MID, shell in standard or GT, the GT adding 30mm across. Chosen at order, and changeable afterwards if the fit wants adjusting once you have driven in it.
Start at MID, MID, MID unless you already know you are unusual in one dimension.

Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Does the Cobra Monaco Pro Fit My Mazda RX7 Mk3? A Detailed Fitment Guide, and Our Cobra Pro-Fit Bucket Seat 2023 Collection. That is first-hand coverage from our own builds and showroom, not brochure copy.
Will I fit in this seat?
The maker sizes this seat for drivers over 6ft in height with a 32in to 36in waist. Those are the paper numbers; how a seat actually feels to sit in and climb out of is a different question, and our showroom team sit in these seats every day, so call us with your height and waist and we will give you the honest answer.
Is it FIA approved, and for how long?
Yes, it carries FIA 8855-1999 homologation. Every FIA seat has a not-valid-after year printed on its homologation label, and that label date is what a scrutineer checks, so look at the label on the seat you receive and check it against your championship regulations. Buying new means you get the freshest label the maker currently produces.
What do I need to fit it to my car?
This is a side-mount seat: it hangs between side brackets, the motorsport-style stack with fine height and angle control. You will need the car-specific frame, and a sliding runner if you want fore-and-aft adjustment. Our guide on base mount versus side mount walks through the whole stack, and tell us your car and we will quote the full kit.
Does it work with harnesses and a HANS device?
The shell takes 4 point compatible and 6 point compatible. If you are planning the full seat, harness, and HANS setup, tell us the car and we will spec it end to end.
How do I know it will feel right, not just fit on paper?
Fair question, because makers publish widths and weights, never feel, and two seats with identical numbers can feel nothing alike in the car. We keep the ranges on display in the Nottingham showroom, you are welcome to come and sit in them, and if you cannot get to us, call and describe your build, as the team sit in these seats every day. Our head support measurements guide shows the kind of real-world data we collect.
