Default Ground clearence?

Alright, I know that the early NBs had 4" of ground clearance (as per the specs in both the Bentley and the owners manual). How about the '06+ cars? Got a question about it over on the 'Tex.

Anyone? Just need a check of the Bentley or owners manual specs for ground clearance.

Please! I've been asked for this info and really would like to have it. Its listed in the specifications in the owners manual as well as the Bentley. Specifically, the question was referencing an '08, but I would imagine all '06+ cars (hardtop) have the same clearance.

The little googling I did turned up 4.6", but someone else said that its 5.6". Just wanting the info.
