    Hi, as a tall person: 1,93cms / 6.4 foot who does not usually fit on spiders I was wondering if some of you who have sat on the GTS, got the impression that headroom is Ok, and how would you say it compares to the standard 812.

    For example on a F8 Spider I don´t fit, and on my F8 or Speciale I had to go for racing seats which are lower than standard seats. In my 812 with racing seats there is plenty headroom in comparison with the V8s.

    I have a GTS arriving in November with racing seats, but in Spain there is no demo GTS to try the headroom.

    Thanks!!

    Im the same height (193cm) and have sat in a GTS. As long as it has race seats you’ll fit fine. With normal seats your head would be touching the roof, I think.

    pretty sure the headroom is the same in GTS as 812 SF

    I'm in the same boat... wish there was just an additional 2-3 inches in these cars.

    Lambo is worst, I would love to buy an Aventador but have not found a lower seat available (first world problems), and I have ask in many Spain and UK Lambo dealers, no solution

    How tall are you? I fit perfect in an Aventador comfort seats even, and am 6'2". Nowhere near touching the ceiling.

    6’4” I’ve tried in all of them several times, the normal, the S, SV, SVJ, with normal seats, with racing seats,... my head not only touches the roof, I have to incline it and still touches.

    I even went to Lambo London, who probably sells the most Lambos in Europe, and they told me there is no solution. Lambo to keep the car so low sacrifices a small percentage of tall people, and that’s fine by them.

    Ok. That’s a pity. You are a bit taller. Sorry to hear...

    Hi,
    Thinking if I will fit into 812 GTS. I am 6’5” (198cm). I am fine with racing seats and no lifter on my 488GTB (with normal seats there would be not enough head space).

    Any clues on 812 GTS? Any practical experience and insights would be hugely appreciated!

    Thanks a ton!

    Hi, it has more room than your 488. I say this being 1,93m and I own an F8 and the GTS.
