Prior to getting the evora, I read that between axels ground clearance for both the Evora and Benz SLK is 4.7inches. I was able to drive the SLK up and down my decline angled parking ramp at my community carpark just fine and didn't expect any issue with the Evora. After bringing the Evora home however, even going 45degree sideway, I've always managed to scrape the crest (high center) a tiny bit. Nothing serious sounding, just a quick semi second of someone running a fine grit sandpaper underneath the body of the car, no violent grinding noises.
So, I was wondering if the clearance numbers are wrong? Or perhaps the extra wheelbase length of the Evora (101.378in) vs. SLK (95.7 in) is preventing the Evora's bottom from clearing the crest.
So base on the attached image, any suggestion to minimize the bottom rubbing? And if not, will this be an issue that will cause costly damages/rusts later on? Again, it's nothing violent or jarring. Just a light semi-second rubbing sound underneath.
