Hi folks,

First time I’ve dipped my toe in here. I’m contemplating a FF, GTC4 or maybe even a 599 having been a serial Porsche owner.

At 6 3” will I fit comfortably? I’m in Ireland so options to try are very limited.

I tried to fit in a 355 about 20 years ago and couldn’t.

Cheers!

No idea but I’m 5’8” and I found the seating position in my 355 very odd even with a Hill Engineering wheel spacer. Italians are clearly different to us!

I'm 6'4 and have had 355's, air cooled 911's and two 308's. Tight but not unusable. Modern cars are like limousines by comparison especially V12 Ferraris.

I’m 6 foot 5 and couldn’t fit in a 458/488/296

Owned an F12 and a Lusso and both absolutely fine.

Require the bucket seats for an 812

Excellent news! Thanks very much indeed,

I’ve always admired the V12’s in particular so am enjoying immersing myself in reviews on YT.

I’m 6’5” I think you’ll be fine with all those V12’s.

I’ve had/driven 355, 430, 458, 488, F12, F8, FF with no problem at all.

Only 296 and F40 I’ve not be able to fit. Unfortunately stopped me buying an F40 back in 2013.

Cheers! I may have more questions lol.

They all look like serious value to me coming from 992 GT3’s and a 992 Turbos S.

Rarer too.

6’ 3, Carbon Buckets in F12 fit great. They sit a bit lower than the Full Electric ones.

Owned both. 308 has more room as the seat sits lower. 328 has a more padded seat which limits headroom. Tight fit but certainly not unusable. I preferred the 308 anyway for multiple reasons.

I am 6ft 3 and it is all in my legs and I have driven quite a few lussos and can comfortably say I had no issues.

We have also tried myself in the drivers seat and a 6ft 7 person in the back and had no issues.

The lusso and FF and cracking cars.
