355 headroom space ?

Hello to all,

I would like to know How the headroom space and cabin size of a 355 compares to a 328 or a tr512 ?

Regards

Dinos

 

I'm 6'4 and comfortable.
Edit: Sorry my car is a 355. I wouldn't know the 328 as I never been in one. I drove a Testarossa once but I do not remember the headroom.

 

355 Spider has slightly more headroom than a TR512 or a 355 Berlinetta

 

I am 5'9" tall and if the seat was upright my hair ( not big hair ) would touch the top of the GTS top in my 328. Seat angle and how you like to sit upright verses laid back will vary the headroom. My 355 Spider with top up has never touched the top of my head even with a baseball cap on.
So thinking the 355 has more than a 328.
Best bet is go and sit in all 3 and adjust the seat to your style.

 

I'm 6'2". My hair adds another inch or two and it's usually messed by the time I'm done driving. Nothing horrible though.

With a helmet it's a little snug.

 

ditto. Getting in and out is fun.. LOVE it though

 

I'm 6'1" and wore a helmet in my car for the first time last weekend (GTS).

No problem at all although it was pretty snug and the top of the helmet was just clearing or lightly touching the roof.

 

I'm 6'3. In a 308 GTB I have about 1/4" headroom with the seat fully back & reclined. Comfortable, just watch the speed bumps. The plus is I don't need a sunvisor - ever.


In the 355 Spyder - no issues. Though my hair gets pummeled by wind over the windshield. No wearing hats.

 

See post #4 above, my 355 spider with the top up gives me at least 3-4 in of clearance with the top up.

 

Thank you for all your replies.

From what I understand the 355 interior have more space than a 308/328.

 

What kind of seating position are you guys using? I'm only 6'1 and I need to recline way further in my Berlinetta than in other cars to clear the headliner.

 

Jeez

All you Americans are soooo big.....

All except 1 over 6'

 

As I understand it, the 348/355 series have more headroom than the 308/328 series as they are taller cars (see below), but the 308/328 series has slightly more leg room as the foot-well is slightly deeper (it's not a massive amount more though!)

308 GTB/GTS: Height = 1,120 mm (44 in)
328 GTB/GTS: Height = 1,128 mm (44.4 in)
348 TB/TS/GTB/GTS: Height = 1,170 mm (46.1 in)
355 GTB/GTS: Height = 1,170 mm (46.1 in)

I'm 6'2" and have @ 2" of headroom left to the roof panel of My 348 TS (the TB version is not much different headroom wise, nor is the 355 GTB/GTS).

And with the roof panel off, the sky's the limit when it comes to headroom!

 

If you live long enough you will get shorter! So there is hope.

 

The 355 Spider has considerably more head room than a 308/328 GTS. At least an extra inch if not two.

 

I'm even Chinese. True story, the first roommate to arrive at my college dorm in southern California knew we were all ethnic Chinese from our email addresses. He was 5'10", thinking he would be tallest.

Then I arrived at 6'1.

Then our other roommate arrived at 6'4.

The 6'4 guy has ridden in my F355, but it's more like torture for him, sort of like listening to a great orchestra with Sennheiser headphones but on a B747 economy class seat.

 

At 5'6", I have no problem with 328 GTS, 348TB, 355Berlinetta, and of course the 355 spider has infinite head room

 

dinos: To help us all out a bit here, how tall are you exactly?

 

Hello I am 181 cm ( around 5 feet 11 inches )

I never drive my 328 gts with the top on unless is raining !!

Also is impossible to drive with the top on with a helmet in a track day !!!

Anybody drives his 355 coupe with helmet ?
