    We have the full electric seats and my wife has a hard time being comfortable because there is limited legroom in the passenger seat. She did not have this issue with racing seats. I have measured and yes the seat back being thicker takes away some legroom.

    It looks like there is room to move the seat back another inch or so physically, but the seat runs into stops. Does anyone know if there is a way to squeeze a bit more room by adjusting how the seat is fixed to the railing?

    I know. It is a long shot. Shoulda got the racing seats. Etc etc…. :)

    Hahaha!

    She does indeed have long legs. And would kill me if I posted any pics! Haha!

    I checked with my dealer and apparently I can order racing seats - for a mere $15k. Each.

    Yikes!

    John , not sure if this will help but I know for a fact that Lambo did have about an inch more adjustment in the Huracan convertible with the electric seats.

    That is helpful. Perhaps there is a little known adjustment that can be made. When I feel and look, it seems there is more space available-it just hits the stops a bit early.

    You know the old saying brah, “Happy Wife, Happy Life…” $30k for a happy wife? You already know the answer…

    Run, don’t walk to your favourite F-car dealer and get those awesome seats ordered! You’ll be glad you did and so will your wife! My two pence…

    Cheers and best wishes to you and yours!

    15k. Only change her seat and leave yours alone. Will be unique and cheaper

    I did think of that. But then they wear differently and…. I don’t know why that’s a big deal. I sold the car once, regretted, bought it back when i came available. No plans to ever sell again…
