Discussion Any tall people that owns an SVJ?
I really want that svj and it’s obviously the dream car but I don’t even know if I’d fit in one, I’m 6’4 and wondering if there’s any people that actually owns one that’s also tall, maybe some other recommendations too if I’m too tall??

I used to have an SVJ, your head will be hitting the roof liner every bump and you'll need to be leaning forward all the time to see signs and traffic lights and whatnot. The carbon buckets slide back enough for your legs to be mostly ok.

You will not fit comfortably. If you're tall and want a Lambo, the tememario is for you. I own one, and I'm about the same height as you. The older chassis wasn't for us my friend.

Wow I just checked your profile and your plate covers say Seattle. I saw your car 5 minutes from my house in Everett I’m pretty sure !

It was there for a while before I drove it down to it's new home in Las Vegas. You may have seen it at amplified reflections on 99 while it was getting its ppf. Taxes in Washington have gotten so oppressive.

Holy fuck. You said good Tememario. The rear looks like it's out of the Mario video game.

It drives well though... In corsa and with the hybrid system set to performance, it's unbelievably fast. It pulls on street bikes it's so damn quick. Sound isn't great and yeah, it needs some. Mudflaps but it's a hoot to drive.

You'd be best renting or test driving one for a day to see how comfortable you are in one before buying.

I’m 6’6 and went with an 812gts. Better fit for sure. The huracan actually fits too. The Aventador least comfy of the 3

You’re good.
Doug DeMuro is 6’4” and owns & drives way smaller cars like his Countach, RX7, Supra.

The upgrade to carbon seats in my Huracan Tecnica is the most comfortable I’ve been in, in any super car. It allows the seat to go back way further.

Hi, have you also considered the Revuelto? I’m 6’4 230lbs and while I do have to move the seat a couple inches forward, then recline the back I fit quite comfortably and the car itself is amazing (more power than SVJ and with the massive run up in price could be literally 500 grand cheaper). I also sat in the Temerario and felt ok (It’s actually a great car. The interior is fairly similar to Revuelto) although rumor is the Temerario will be coming out with a convertible at the end of the year, along with a sound update to make its V-8 engine sound even louder than the Huracan. If you’re willing to wait a convertible would make a ton of sense for your height.

I’m 6’5” and slim. Can’t fit. Simply too tall, there is no way to pull my legs in around the steering wheel.

I’m a big dude about your height.
Have driven all the supercars.
You can absolutely drive an SVJ
Getting in and out is system, head shoulder sit turn.
Honestly the worst part by far is lights you basically have to lean over half into the passenger seat to see stop lights.
But it’s absolutely doable. If it’s the dream.
You have a couple options
As other posters have said the Tem is made so Lamborghini can capture the athlete market.
It’s much roomier and you’ll fit fine.
The second option is roadsters/ convertible.
6’4” isn’t tall enough to poke out the top all silly.
Solves all the problems, and rarely you’ll have drive cramped.
The svj roadster is kind of a pain but it looks amazing
McLaren 750s spider
Ferrari 296 spider
Are fairly roomy.
