720s door clearance
Discussion
Does anyone know the maximum clearance required fully to open a 720s door? I'm minded to replace my i8 Spider with a 720, but need to know that I'll be able to get in and out in my absurdly narrow single garage. I can open the BMW's (similar, dihedral) door with a couple of inches of clearance, provided I park close to the LH wall. The McLaren lists as having an almost identical width, so I think it comes down to the height and angle of the door.
I use a tennis ball hanging from the ceiling on a piece of string. I've got it set up so that when I'm in exactly the right position the nearside wing mirror just touches the ball. Admittedly not my idea - but it works perfectly every time. My door clears by about 50mm as it opens and I've never once failed using this method.
