    Hi Everyone, I am advising someone to buy a 612 instead of a Bentley Continental GT and he asked me what the clearance was. I can not, for the life of me, find it. I can't even find it for the Bentley.

    Can anyone help? TIA

    Answer depends on what you're looking for:
    1) on ramp max angle (front spoiler clearance)
    2) off ramp max angle (wheel base clearance)
    3) road clearance (min underbody clearance)
    #1 is pretty easy to measure on a car, #3 cumbersome, and #2 probably very difficult.
    Never seen such data published on cars other than all terrain wannabe's.

    Why don't you simply ask each respective dealers to give you the info ?

    I measured 4.33 inches off the showroom floor to the lowest corner of the nose.

    The actual ramp angle depends on the front overhang, so height does not tell the whole story ...
