    Haven't had the chance to sit in the Huayra yet, but what is the height limit to fit in the driver's seat? I am 6'5"!

    I would imagine they could build you a car to your specifications, more or less.

    The only thing I can imagine is knocking my knees on the dash and seeing if I fit in the seat with the door closed. If not wonder how much extra it would be to make an elegant "Gurney Bubble". I don't imagine it would be too difficult, especially at around $1.3MM Per car. I see there is a Dealership on Wilshire; where else right? At the Auto Gallery though they are calling the Pagani Side of things Pagani Los Angeles!

    I just hate it when these cars come out and the interior is made for people no taller than Circus Midgets - there are exceptions of course.

    As far as I know, if you are buying brand new, they can spec the car any way you like. They will build you a seat that suits your needs. I would jump on their web site and give them a call.

    Yeah they will find a way to sell you a car. Each one of these cars is bespoke, so I would imagine that they could easily find a way to give you some extra inches here and there.

    I sent them an email message yesterday questioning them on current height limits. I heard something on the magnitude of 40%-50% of production is coming to the US.

    I would easily, as you can tell, take this over any offerings by Ferrari and McLaren at the moment. Not unless I was making this money in the 90s, would have bought an McLaren F1 which is in a class by itself to the collecting community.

    Even second hand they'll be able to do all the work. Just get the checkbook out.

    Pagani is absolutely fantastic.

    ----

    I don't think the Huayra would be any problem. Clarkson is 6'5'' and fit easily inside the Zonda, I believe the Huayra is bigger inside.

    At 6'5'' there'll be a number of easy modifications to make you fit (if you don't fit in it already), a smaller diameter steering wheel and lower mounted custom seat are 2 very effective modifications that'll give you a lot of extra room.

    I arranged for a factory tour at the Pagani factory while I'm in Modena next week. I'll check for you.
