Is it me, or does my skyhook Ghibli looks a little high on its feet compared to others?

Looks like your running the stock 20" Urano's. I measure just about 5 cm from fender lip to top of tire tread.
The below picture of mine is with 20" winter setup, but same dimensions as stock Urano rims.

Do you also have sky hook suspension?
It looks defenitely lower.

Just measured mine. 2019 Ghibli S, no skyhook. From top of tread to fender lip is roughly 1.5 inches.

Just measured rear: top tire to wheel arch is 7 cm! Do all skyhook cars have a higher stance?

Somehow your photo doesn't look like 7 inches. That's over half a foot. Are you talking about the rear wheel? From the highest point on the tire? That's why I had to say "about" on mine because the highest point isn't on the outside edge near the fender lip.

 

[Boomerang]

Sorry, i meant 7 cm not 7 inches 😉
And indeed, used an aluminium strip, lying on the highest point of the tire, to be able to measure distance to highest point rear arch.

Do you also have sky hook suspension?
It looks definitely lower.

Sport Suspension (full tank of gas) with the updated springs/struts (Maserati campaign). Prior to this change I was lower around 1.5" or just under 4 cm. The old sport suspension was very firm and lowest of the 3 types offered.
Back when we did this exercise once before, the one car with skyhook was around 6.5 cm (2.5") ... so your result is very similar.

Thanks for your info!

Here is my 2019 Ghibli S GranLusso without skyhook. Not enough difference in height between mine and yours to worry about in my opinion.

 

[Boomerang]

Yes, you are right, i see that now.
On top of that, my petrol tank is almost empty, that may also differ a bit.

Looks like it sits just a tiny bit higher than mine…. What is this skyhook?

 

[Boomerang]

Active dampers with two settings, soft and (quite) firm.

No skyhook...a fraction under 6cm (measure method same as Beerguy)...19" Proteo rims...Continental Contisport contact5 tyres...front 245/45 rear 275/40 (standard ex-factory setup). No recall for suspension on this model (MY16) so all as original when I received it new. Tank is usually kept above half full so guessing anywhere from half to full in this pic.

There are different suspension options and they sit at different heights, the skyhooks are quite a bit taller in the rear for instance compared to the Sport, also as mentioned some early cars especially had springs that would sag so you'll find them out there at different heights for that reason as well.

If you prefer a better look and wanted to get it lowered, we do offer Sport Lowering Springs Kits, they're in stock, ready to ship for all versions of the Ghibli : Ghibli Sport Performance Lowering Springs
