SHOPPING for a new vehicle can feel overwhelming — especially if you’re 7’2.
Bodybuilder and YouTube influencer Olivier Richters, known as the Dutch Giant, took viewers on his journey searching for a sports car he could fit into.

Richters’ video blog begins with him rolling up in a Toyota Aygo.
This bodybuilder uses the Aygo to show viewers the car comfortably accommodates his large presence, even as a compact city model.
Richters said: “[With] 99 percent of cars, I’m stuck against the steering wheel, or the dashboard is in the way, or my head is against the roof.”
The friendly giant then exits the Aygo and notes how the tiny automobile isn’t his dream car.
Richters invites viewers on a journey to see if he can fit in his ideal models, including a Mustang, a Cadillac, and a Corvette.
First up was a Ford Mustang GT500 with 460 horsepower and a 155mph top speed.
After uncomfortably sliding behind the Mustang’s steering wheel, Richters noted how he couldn’t even reach the model’s gas pedal.
If the sizable YouTube influencer moved the seat back, he said his head would be forced against the car’s ceiling.
Richters then moves into a Mustang GT convertible, with just enough space between the steering wheel and his right leg to drive.
Next on this bodybuilder’s car shopping list was Cadillac’s CTS-V delivering 650 horsepower and a 185mph top speed.
After hopping in the Cadillac’s driver’s seat, Richters is surprised to find that the fast sedan is a solid fit.
Richters said: “My knees are totally free [in the Cadillac]; that’s really unique.”
But this gentle giant didn’t have as much luck when getting into a Corvette C7.
After moving the Corvette’s steering wheel forward and its driver’s seat back, Richters cannot swing his right leg under the car’s steering wheel.

Toward the end of his video, this bodybuilder goes electric and explores Polestar’s 1 and 2 models.
After getting his right leg completely stuck under the Polestar 2’s steering wheel, Richters encounters the same issue with Polestar’s 1.
Richters’ final test drive is in fellow bodybuilder Zac Aynsley’s Maserati Ghibli with 345 horsepower and a 155mph top speed.
Like Ford’s Mustang GT500, this influencer couldn’t reach the vehicle’s gas pedal.
Aynsley is heard saying: “What the f**k, I was convinced you’d fit in this, man.”
Once Richters asks if the Ghibli is Maserati’s largest sedan, Aynsley says: “It’s huge; I mean, there’s a lot of space in this.”
