St.David's 2 and Granturismo S

[AR]

I was wondering if anyone has any experience about parking at St. David's 2 with a Maserati Granturismo S or another low car. I have only ever used it with more mundane machinery.

I know the width should be OK but worried about the front overhang.

Should be ok, I've seen all sorts parked in there from Ferrari's, Porsches to R8's. i'd avoid the John Lewis underground bit tho as that's steep.

Failing that there's an open air car park in front of the Uni by the prison. 2 minute walk and your in St Davids.

I've been in there in my lowered MK3 Focus RS with no problems at all. I'm pretty confident that it is a good few mm lower than a Maserati GT-S

It's not to say I wasn't grinding my teeth going down the ramps mind

Thank you very much lads!

I’ve taken my 4C in there with no issues and that’s pretty low

Just checked ground clearances and the alfa 4C is 114mm vs 99mm for the GranturismoS

As you stated in your original post, ground clearance is not the only thing to take into account, the distance between the wheels and the front and rear of the car will also come into it. Plus, the distance between front and rear wheels will also affect whether the car can negotiate the ramps or not. The greater the distance between the front and rear wheels, the greater chance there is of grounding.

Wise words!

I just seen a video on YouTube of a Grancabrio getting grounded in London
