I guess this means no Ferrari for me :)
William, my best friend and VP of Marketing at OLX, is in the market for a used Ferrari 360 Spider. As a good friend, I decided to help him through the ordeal of car shopping by tagging along to the Ferrari dealer :)
The new Ferrari 458 Italia is so gorgeous I considered letting myself be tempted. After many attempts by the desperate dealer to get me to fit into it (and every other Ferrari in the showroom), we came to a definite conclusion: Ferraris are not made for tall people! And at 6’3” I am not even that tall!
Look at the photos below William took of me in a 360 Spider. My head was sticking out so much it was actually hilarious :)

no wonder why Felipe Massa is a Ferrari pilot.

Isn't William 5'5 or so ? Perfect for him !!
Fabrice…..mon ami…..you are not a Ferrari guy…..just three letters for you………DBS……..ok well maybe the DBS Volante if you want to really have fun… :-)
That's hysterical! So now we know there really is a perfect correlation between driving a Ferrari and a man's "size." Too bad – you are just too big!
very cool
This gave me a good laugh! Thanks Fabrice. :)
Funny! Awe the advantages of being 5'10" and 155 lbs. But no Ferrari for me either. I'm over it…
At 5'3 I think I would fit nicely in that 458 Italia!
I used to have a V8 Vantage which is the prettiest car ever – and looks lot like the DBS. It handled horribly though…
I think my next car will be a Fisker Karma S.
Are you an investor in fisker, I see it in your portfolio companies…..when are they releasing the first model?
I am an investor in Fisker. The first few Karmas should be delivered this December (so they can say they sold cars in 2010 ;)
If you order one now, you will get it next summer.
The Karma S is due 2 or 3 years from now.
this is the way to go my friend! live at full speed! Congrats from Ibiza!
Yeaaah, I am 5’6” >> shaped for Ferrari :)
There must be one out there for you :-) Since it's a car we are talking about, maybe you could have one custom made…. bisous xxx
Maybe they will do one day an Italian family SUV :)
Tant que c’est ton pire problem! Bises, DAD
Porsche re-deemed themselves with the 997. A 911 GT3-RS is pretty nasty, and at 6-3 you will fit just fine
