Air suspension. Probably taken over a threshold or down from the truck with suspension adjusted for maximum clearance.

When you life suspension it goes up a bit, but I do not think that much. And believe me you need to life a lot!

No I mean life, as in suspend your life and just go drive the car!

I have decided that from now on whatever autocorrect does to my sentence that will become my new reality.

It's me again.
I have now seen, for the first time, my dealer's car.....and have to say I definitely have questions about ride height.
In the hundreds of owner-dealer-Porsche pics online it appears that the ride height varies significantly!
I am admittedly anal about offset, ride height, and the relation of both to the fender line and wheel arch......on any of my Pcars.
How can we explain the very wide differences in the below?

And different wheel/tires. I can have lift, normal, low and lowest. Haven't really looked closely at what each one looks like.

Is 'Normal', 'Low', 'Lowest' capability standard on any model?
And yep I get the small dif between 20 and 21".........the last 2 pics are both the 20" Turbo Aeros.

The diameter of the rubber will be the same regardless of the rim size. But the gap will of course look like it's bigger than it actually is with the smaller rims.

This brings up a good question, I have my 4s ordered with 19's and later If I get 21's will the air suspension automatically correct for the difference? ( do I have to do anything special) maybe panamera owners would know? Thanks,
