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!
Man math dictates buy the Spyder and enjoy for 6 weeks every year

I have been to Saint Agata and tried a few Lambos but at 6.3 i dont fit in any of them. Shame really as i like the Huracan - especially the spider.

I believe there's a manual carbon shell seat coming as an option soon (probably when the SL comes out) that will drop you down a good 2 inches.

I'm with Beefmeister 100% on this one. I'm 6'4" and fairly long in the body and the Huracan Spyder was borderline dangerous for me to drive, as the header rail obscured my view of traffic lights, signage etc. I'm fine in McLarens and Ferraris but the electric seat of the Huracan just seems to sit you up too high and the cabin length is so short that you can't get around it by sliding the seat forward and then reclining it. One of the very few cars that I can categorically say I don't fit in.

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

OMG, that's a real life issue and an accident waiting to happen.
I guess I would be ok at 5'10" but the younger generations are so much taller today. My 14 year old is already taller and with bigger feet than me and looks like being 6' 4" at this rate.

In the future Will Huracans only be driven by small old men with pipes and slippers, if they are not already getmecoat

I'm 6ft and it's fine for me. I guess 3 inches matters........??

The difference between the seating position of the spider and coupe is weird - I can't see where the space has gone but the spider is nearly undriverable for me too (6' 2") - 200 miles nearly crippled me. Didn't find the visibility too much of an issue but could only get enough legroom with the seat nearly vertical and still couldn't get the steering wheel far enough away.

Coupe is perfect however

Had a 650s for a week recently....absolute hammer of a car when you're on it.....and its dry. Compared to the hurra I think you can really feel the difference between na V10 and turbod 8 when you're not on it...the lag is quite noticeable (in direct comparison). Also everything the 650 is in the dry I thought it wasn't in the wet....front washes out surprisingly easily and it isn't hugely confidence inspiring unlike the lambo in similar conditions. Bloody good fun tho.

absolutely stunning car, congratulations!

I've been considering one and had a passenger ride at last weekend's charity supercar event - amazingly quick and incredible grip -- and the noise with the race exhaust was insane! The owner was great too and couldn't speak higher of the car.
