Default Headroom in coupe - Pano vs. standard roof

Hello,

Does anyone have specific experience comparing the pano vs. standard roof from the perspective of headroom? My dealer has only Pano-roofed models and I'm trying to compare the two (I'm of a mind the pano loses some headroom in comparison)

Thanks in advance for any feedback; I hope to be a 6S owner soon!

I asked my sales manager this very same question and he confirmed what I thought...while you may lose an inch or so for the shade,it's not like a real noticeable amount as compared to the whole sunroof mechanism...I'm 6' and I sat in a Pano car and didn't see an issue with headroom.

I'm 6'1" and have a pano, and have driven both on the track.
Never noticed the difference - so much room over the head either way (although when the pano is "open" it *feels* like a ton of space over you heard - which is a visual thing).

This would vary hugely on your height, where you position the seat (most obviously the height), and your own personal preference/tolerance for room over your head.

I could easily wear a helmet and not hit, which is not the case for me in most all Ferraris and Lambos.
(but *do* hit my head on the way out every time in a helmet, and rarely without)

I'm 6'3" and fit with the pano roof no problem. I should still be able to put on a helmet as well for track events.
