I know they really improved and changed areo underneath car and this car shows it in real life. This car is very low in person. Amazing stance. Looks amazing. One concern.. Very low ground clearance especially in the rear of car. This is not easy to spot from pictures. Its low in front ( front axel lift a must in NY ), but my concern is the rear diffuer clearance. I actually got down on the floor in middle of show and wedged my cell phone between diffuer and floor. Snapped a picture too. My cell phone with case is just under 3" in width. Does this mean the rear diffuser will not clear 3"? **Please dont yell at me**
I spoke with one of the Porsche engineers on the floor discreetly and mentioned the ground clearance. He told me that the same rear diffusers are on 911r and many of the buyers had them removed to solve this issue.

Any lucky 911r guys out there have any feedback on this?

I am not trying to be a jerk. I love this car and want an allocation. Im just stating what I saw today.


Ill post a few pics I took today later when I get a chance.

All in all the car looks absolutly amazing and more aggressive.
I want one!

Wonder how much it is to replace and ultimately becomes a consumable.

In all seriousness, exactly how long does it take from start to finish for the car to raise, or lower? My number one source for everything McLaren (i.e. YouTube lol) showed a pretty long cycle time.

Edit: Found it. It takes 10 seconds to lift and 13 seconds to lower, once you clicked the lever twice. So 11 to 14 seconds in real life. Obviously not a show-stopper when buying one, but that is a LONG time to lift the car. Porsche nailed this one. But full lift would be nice, although i have not needed it.

In both cars I found that the system was much faster than this.. and the double click up takes what feels like very few seconds. These are both cars with expensive carbon extended chins and rear diffusers, and both belonged to a friend so I was always extra cautious, but I never once touched a curb or had to approach driveways at crazy angles. I do think the 570s system is a more traditional front lift, and that seems to require a little extra care especially when backing out of Ramps. It's kind of a non-issue for the fully-automatic suspension mclarens however. I'm heading back from for a big road trip next week and will pay more attention.. will have someone sit outside and count while we raise and lower one to see.
