How much headroom is lost with the carbon fiber roof?
I'm looking at a 2018 that has the carbon fiber roof. Its 700 miles away so I can't go sit in it myself and all local F types for sale have the pano roof.
At 6'3", I can get the seat low enough to fit comfortably in F types with the pano roof, but there isn't much room left to spare.
Anyone with the carbon fiber or non pano roof that can give me an idea of head room please?
Thanks.
Sean
I expect the panoramic roof has slightly less headroom since there has to be room for the sliding shade tracks, but don't have anything to compare. I've got the panoramic.
Hi, I have the carbon fiber roof option on my 2017 SVR. It feels shorter than the pano roof to me that I had previous. However, I'm 6-3 and have 2-3 inches of headroom and love the relative rarity of the roof. Good luck if you go forward with the buy!
Thank you Jag ABQ23 for the reply. The dealership was kind enough to send me a photo of the interior roof line. Here's a side by side comparison pic for those who may also be interested. Looks like the area directly above the driver's head is about the same.
I am 6'2'' and have a 2018 R-Dynamic with a carbon fiber roof and I still have 2 to 3 inches of clear headroom. I love not having to worry about having some rogue rock come up and chip the glass on the roof.

I'm not sure what difference there is between the two types of seats. Maybe nothing, but it's a question I haven't seen asked.
