Gallardo Width - Garage - Getting out!

[TCruise]

Hi Guys

I've done a search and found a few answers for fitting the car in the garage.

BUT the Gallardo doors require a lot of opening space.

Who has a narrow garage and how are they finding getting in and out?

Grateful for measurements.

Thanks

I had a Gallardo SL and sized my space for that car.

I had 2665mm clear width inside by which I mean where the car door opens rather than the garage door width.
I am about 5'10'' and slim and with a wall protector in place this was doable.

My car was a 2008 model without electric folding mirrors or, more importantly, auto window shut.

If you reverse in, open the window fully, this makes it easier because you can put your head where the glass would be and Bob's your uncle.

Shut the window after.

Good luck

I have learnt, over the years, that the only way to get a definitive answer is to try an actual car in the actual garage.

Brilliant.
My garage has a 2990mm interior width, I'm about the same height, might have enjoyed a few more dinners than you , but sounds perfectly doable.
