The reviews suggest anyone taller than 5:8 will struggle in a a Huracan Spyder - does anyone think otherwise please. Just come out of a 458 Spider which was perfect for a 6:2.person and was thinking about a McLaren 650s which I fit in perfectly as well, but love the look of the Huracan and haven't owned a Lambo previously.

I'm 6ft 2 and I really struggle in the spyder. It's a shame and i've tried every seat position there is but it wont go back enough or low enough to be comfortable.

Success for anyone above 6ft depends on individual body shape. Long legs, short legs, etc. Only way to be sure is to get in the car and try it.

I'm 6ft1 with a 34" leg. Fit fine in a Spyder.

5ft 11 and I fit in okay with maybe an inch from top of head to roof.

With roof down I felt that my head was poking above the top of the windscreen frame which I felt was disconcerting when driving, although perhaps you get used to it.

Dealer said the seat was as low as it goes, but I'd still want to investigate other options (maybe replacement runners or seats from the Performante?) if I was considering one.

5'10" with 30" legs and I felt my head was above the windscreen or at best level with the top of the frame which made the already poor vision even worse bordering on dangerous IMHO

Seat was lowered all the way but I do like to sit reasonably upright rather than laid back like a deckchair.

Love the car looks but for the above reason I could never buy one.
The rake of the spiders windscreen looks lower than the coupe probably to accommodate the cloth roof which again for me is another big no no.

If only the car had a metal folding roof like the 650S it would be at least stunning to look at even if it can't match the McLaren dynamically or on performance.

If only there was a perfect supercar but they all have some compromises

6 foot 4 and can't get in a 458 or 488 and struggled in a Huracan so that's why I went for the Cali T
