I really want one but the few i have sat in, including the Spyder, seem to have a high seat position. In the coupe my head was very close to the roof and the spyder i felt i was looking at the top frame of the screen. I'm 6'3... are there different seat options that lower the position ?

I'm amazed you felt this. I am 6'2 and hate feeling cramped or high in cars, and in the Huracan I have loads and loads of head room. Many cars I would be hitting the ceiling if I wore my crash helmet, but not even close in the Huracan.

I don't know about seat adjustment, but mine has full electric adjustable so maybe they are lower than fixed due to different mechanism?

My head was about half an inch from the roof in my 560 and Gallardo .... perhaps i have a long body. My 458 on the other hand has plenty of room. I'll pop to the dealer at the weekend and ask some questions.

Yea I couldn't easily wear a helmet in Gallardo. Loads of room in Huracan.

Absolutely love it!

Craig been taking pictures again!

Nice car and would love to do get a yellow or blue one, just can not pull myself to it!
Craig has my coupe in the showroom at the moment (grey) you should of bought that one!
Enjoy, its one car I can honestly say I enjoy daily and can drive it in normal mode (not very often) or have some fun (Just got a Spyder so hopefully we will have a summer!!!)

They look superb in the grey, but I had to have a bright colour while I'm still "Young" enough to pull it off. Once I get into my 40's or 50's maybe I'll tone it down a bit

Enjoy the Spyder!

I'm 6'3 and this was taken with the phone camera lens at eye level.

Great choice and well done for breaking the stereo type Mclaren mold. I too ditched the 458 and 650s plus GT3 on this occasion in favor of a car with some old school character which I think also pops more than the others listed.Each to there own I guess and you cant beat the V10 soundtrack

Me too - that's awful

I must have long legs and short body because my view is quite different!

Congrats!!!! I had a mine a few months now and still can't get over what a car it is!!!

I love this colour

[sone]

never once considered the visibility being compromised in mine I've also heard comments about poor rear visibility all of which is none sense. Mind I am a bit of a stumpy!(-:

[UH-Matt]

Cars with the slatted engine bonnet have much better visibility as you can see through.

Mine has the glass cover and the reflections from the engine mean very little rear visibility out the back window.

I was advised by a Lambo tech that this was the case, Lambo Birmingham kindly arranged for my slatted cover to be sprayed to body colour. Looks great and a fraction of the glass cover price, more importantly you can see through it(-:

Do you have a pic of that? Sounds fantastic.

[sone]

Not a great photo but all I have on my phone

[Beefmeister]

That looks great, I think if it was all painted it wouldn't look as good. Excellent work!

Hi Matt, many congrats on the new car, looks stunning! Would be nice to hear your thoughts comparing it to the LP560

I've done a few hundred miles and I can tell you its a totally different animal.

1. Its faster, a LOT faster.
2. It doesnt complain about being cold, or full lock manoeuvres, or reversing up a hill, or traffic.
3. The gearbox is in a different planet (and clutch seems more hardy).
4. You can use it in traffic.
4. Its more comfortable and spacious inside, more head room.
5. The finish and attention to detail is sublime. Everything carries the hectagon theme from the wheels to the switches, rather than just audi parts bin ala gallardo/lp560.
6. Every time I look at it on the outside I discover another line or part of the design that I love. Pictures don't do them justice.
7. Never cared about spec before, but this car has most boxes ticked and little things like style pack actually make a BIG difference.
8. They need to be in a bright colour. I considered white/grey/black but the lines just don't show like a pearl bright finish provides.
9. The exhaust note and pops and bangs are addictive, its relentless.

I've yet to find a negative in all honesty, even the usually crap hifi isn't half bad inside. Much improved sound quality, volume, and DAB that works.

Excellent, great to see you back in a supercar, look forward to seeing/hearing it around St Albans

I'm 6ft 8" so it appears I will never own one of these.

Which is a shame because non turbo is rare these days!
