2 Answers
The maximum ground clearance of the Ferrari 488 is 100mm, and its ground clearance is adjustable. Taking the 2019 Ferrari 488 as an example, it is a sports car with the following dimensions: length 4605mm, width 1975mm, height 1206mm, wheelbase 2650mm, fuel tank capacity 78l, and curb weight 1485kg. The 2019 Ferrari 488 features a double-wishbone front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 3.9L twin-turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 720ps, maximum power of 530kw, and maximum torque of 770nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I've been driving a Ferrari 488 for several years and still remember its maximum ground clearance is around 110mm, about the height of a soda can. Driving it in the city requires extra caution – I always have to slow down for speed bumps or potholes. Once I almost scraped the undercarriage entering a garage, luckily the suspension lift system saved the day. The low design primarily aims to lower the center of gravity for better high-speed stability, but it's really inconvenient for daily use, especially on rough roads where the undercarriage is vulnerable to damage. I recommend frequently checking the front lip and underbody protection panels – regular maintenance can extend their lifespan. Additionally, the minimal clearance affects drivability, making suburban roads less suitable. It's better suited for urban or track scenarios. Overall, this design emphasizes the supercar's performance orientation at the expense of practicality, so potential buyers should carefully consider their driving habits.
