Gallardo width?

[jeremyc]

Anyone know the maximum width of a Gallardo, mirrors in and mirrors out?

Or put another way, what is the minimum width aperture it will fit through?

Googling gets me dimensions of 1900mm and 2164mm, but no positive confirmation these are with/without mirrors folded.

Mine fits in my single garage, but only if I fold the mirrors in.

So, how wide is the entrance to your single garage?

JC: 2164 is with mirrors out, according to the handbook. When are you getting one?

And more importantly - does that mean the gt3 is going?(!)

Good question! I'd imagine its the standard size if there is such a thing

Thanks Gilly.

I'll need to do some measuring before I do any buying ...

Was that Superleggera of yours left hand or right hand drive?

Not really1 There are many sizes available and you could class them as "standard" as they are not bespoke items. You'd have to take actual dimensions.

It's in SW London, so a right hand drive garage.

[andrew.]

i've a 7-foot garage opening and have around three inches clearance on each side with the mirrors folded in
i wouldn't want to risk a scrape/smoke the clutch in anything narrower tbh
also the doors are very long, so you need tons of opening space

Thanks - if the 1900mm figure is correct then you've actually got over 4.5" each side.

If only they'd put the scissor doors on the Gallardo ....

[andrew.]

i'll measure the gaps tomorrow in daylight
you're a braver man than i if you try less that 7 feet though

[SimonSays]

It's just a matter of getting used to parking...

I had to reverse 30m with only about 3 inches to spare... Wall on one side, cars on the other side:





It's my Diablo, doesn't have powersteering And the mirrors don't fold in (though you can hold them back manually, i'm told...

If it's just the door opening itself you need to counter, just line out properly, and take it slow

That Superleggera of mine is LHD

[ChrisFitz]

Our garage is 7ft wide and it comfortably squeezes in with mirrors folded. Reversing camera helps a little too

He's used to LHD with the beetle.

JC you should buy Andrew's car when he sells it. It's one of the rare ones with a proper gearbox.

Good point Daz.

JC, I might be selling mine soon. Only 10 manuals were ever made. Or I might keep it. I'm not being very decisive

I'm all too aware of that.

There is also a precedent that has been set in me taking on Andrew's automotive cast-offs ...

ETA: Oh, and we need to make sure AdamT buys the Beetle.
