Minimum ground clearance (Reference A)
The clearance value is measured from the lower edge of the differential. This value also defines those for the “Approach angle” the
“Departure angle” and the “Breakover angle”.
Dimensions are expressed in mm and refer to the car equipped with its original tires.
Approach angle (Reference B)
The approach angle is determined by the horizontal line of the road surface, and by the tangent line passing between the front wheel,
and the most projecting low point of the car.
The wider the angle, the lower the chance to hit an obstacle with the body or chassis, when climbing a steep slope or overcoming an
obstacle.
