Just starting to look at 570 options and would appreciate any experience re Space and headroom .

I’m 6ft 2 and “broad built” ! How do find space in the cabin say compared to a R8?

Do you find headroom different in Coupe v Spyder? I’m thinking about any issues I might have re helmet .

Many thanks

I am 6’2 broadly built in a 570 coupe with the carbon buckets. There is plenty of headroom, no issues with space in general I think it feels quite big considering what it is.

I'm not an owner but I had a passenger ride in a friend's spider. We are both 6'4 and had no trouble. The driver is a big guy and never mentioned any issues.

I'm 6'6" maybe slightly more, and I found I had to get the manual seats in order to sit low enough in a coupe to avoid headroom issues. I haven't sat in a spider with manual sears for comparison. The buckets are even lower but my frame didn't fit into them properly, and as they have no adjustment become painful for me after 45 minutes driving. I did drive a spider with buckets and found the wind hitting my forehead more than rustling my hair.

Buckets give you a little more space.

Also there are 2 options with the buckets with the touring option having the wider seat for a little more comfort for the lager driver.

More room for the beer belly ?

I meant larger and not lager, but the two often go hand in hand....
