The width of the original car is 1905 mm, which means 79mm in 1:24, however, the body measures 86mm ?

Tamiya has always operated on a "looks like" system rather than exact data, perhaps they felt that the extra width was necessary? I think the proportions look quite good, but I will say the model looks a bit shorter than my mind sees a real DBS, so that extra width is probably what is doing that.
As for seats, it never crossed my mind when I built it. A lot of seats in exotics are narrow.
My biggest beef is with the clunky tires, same as they used in GTR. They're simply too tall. Enzo front tires would be perfect on it...
