OK I am old and therefore not as flexible as I once was but am not fat and only 1.7m tall. Yet I still found getting in and out of the 296 to be awkward. Reminiscent of my old Lotus.

Yet some potential customers will be of similar age to me, many younger ones will be far taller and many will also be far heavier, if I can put it that way,;) than my 76kg. And that without even thinking of the people across the pond.

So have Ferrari got the car size right in these well fed days?

Question then, for those who have seen it in the flesh…are the front overhangs as large as they appear in the pics?
No. Its quite a good looking car in the tin with a rear end that reminds of a 250LM. Engine bay is nothing to look at and has quite a bit of empty space in it. The cabin has none. I found it awkward to get in and out of and that was with the seat fully back and me of average height if that. It should be sold with free yoga classes.
