Yes.
2600mm is the width of my drive (although it's not the part I usually park my car). You (probably) won't be able to open the door fully (I can't in my 650, but the sport series doors do open more vertically I think) - but it's enough to get in and out. You will need some foam / carpeting on the walls.

Sorry actually figured I could be more helpful than that!
I’ve just measured and with drivers door open to far side of the car seemed to be more like 2650mm. I wouldn’t want to risk it without 275 / 280 cm I think (I’m leaving a bit of a margin there as my boy was holding the other side of the tape, and not 100% sure what his definition of the edge of the car was!)
I’m not aware of a way to stop the door fully opening so would seem like a risk to balance on the tub climbing out and holding the door in…

OP, you are going to struggle!
If garage is 2600 wide, what about that standard 2130 door?
600 LT dimensions:
Body width = 1930
With mirrors out = 2095, clearance at door = 20
With mirrors folded = 2045, clearance at door = 70
My previous garage was 3050 inside and that was doable.
Fix some carpet to the internal wall.
GOOD LUCK!

My bad, good news.
Car is 2090 mm wide with mirrors.
2664 mm wide with one door fully open, so Dave is right, you can do it.
Personally I’d find it stressful but not impossible.
Send me a pm once you get the car if you’d like to join the Whatsapp UK Owners group.

Don’t think you would even be able to drive it in.
Based on what?Don’t think you would even be able to drive it in.
I have reversed my 650 down my 2600mm driveway many times - and got in and out. As I said, door does not fully open - but it gets to about 80% and I can get in and out fine.

You should be fine. My garage is of similar width (maybe even slightly narrower) and my McLaren fitted in no problems.
Just park as far to the passenger side wall as you can and pop some soft material onto the wall to open the door against on the drivers side (I suspect it won't open fully but enough for you to get out). I found it a lot easier to get in and out with the window fully down.
