Default Measurement needed for garage clearance

Hi, I have a strange hump in my garage and need to know if the Taycan can clear it.

the hump is at 38” but need to know if any part the the hood line exceeds 37”

here is a picture:



the Taycan being longer than the 911 I would need to push “deeper” under the obstacle by about 8”

if anyone could check that measurement on their Taycan for me that would be very helpful.

thanks

here you go. please see the caption below each picture for more of my comments. a picture i didnt take is a very unscientific measurement of where the stick is to the front of the bumper / lip.... that is about 43".



this is where the hood is highest, any point beyond here the hood rises to account for where the windshield begins.

here is the same view, but from the front so you can see the hood slopes down from here.

height is about 36.5"

I have a cross turismo (without the off road package) and my current parked ride height is in "lowered" mode. so depending on the one you get (sedan vs. wagon), you can do the math to see how much you need to subtract to get your hood height

for example, if you get a sedan and park it in "low" mode, you will get another 32mm more clearance than the 36.5" that i measured.
