I drive a Porsche 911 Carrera S 2023 model. Last week, I measured the ground clearance with professional equipment. In normal mode, the lowest point of the chassis measured around 118 mm, slightly higher than the official specification of 110 mm, probably due to tire pressure influence. When switched to sport mode, it drops to about 105 mm, and speed must be reduced to below 5 km/h when going over speed bumps. The most troublesome part is entering underground parking lots in old residential areas—if the slope exceeds 15 degrees, I have to drive at an angle. The other day, the right front lip got scratched when it rubbed against the edge of the ramp. This car's ground clearance is 5 mm lower than the 718, so it's safest to avoid rough roads during daily commutes.
