Had them all apart from Lamborghini love the hurracan however I sat in a spydwe this week and couldn’t under any circumstances get the seating right , I’m 5”11 which isn’t tall and yet with the seat all the way back can’t get into a position that I would drive for any periods of time , surly this can’t be the case

Errr no, very unlikely but we are all individuals so what may suit one 5'11" person may not suit another. So it's feasible there might not be a comfortable seating position for you.

Were they the bucket or normal seats?

Similar thoughts, I’m the same height and just did nearly 3,000 miles around Europe in two weeks with no real discomfort issues. I have the spyder with normal seats. Could be whether you have a long torso or long legs. I’m sure there have been discussions elsewhere about different rails for the seats but can’t recall exactly. The dealer should be able to advise.

If you have a long torso you can remove the original seat rails and replace them with aftermarket fixed ones which will give you a couple more inches headroom. May help? You lose the < > option but if it's only you driving that's not an issue. If you have longer than average legs for someone that height then you may have an issue. I'm 6ft1" with a 34" leg and have no problems

I’m 6ft and fine. It’s down to individual proportions.
It’s more especially true on motorbikes.

i'm 6'1" and have tried numerous seats ( and a few mods too ) in gallardo spyder, huracan spyder and aventador roadster

with the firewall having being pushed forward on all three cars relative to the coupes, i haven't been comfortable for more than a matter of minutes in any of them : legs bent and/or buffeting at high speed

Tried the aventador, again I can’t get my head around te seating and driving position , proper have a itch for one , but pointless unless there’s a solution yet both Ferrari and McLaren both suit over 6” with McLaren going to 6”4
