For every convex body \(K \subset \mathbb {R}^n\) and \(\delta \in (0,1)\) , the \(\delta \) -convolution body of K is the set of \(x \in \mathbb {R}^n\) for which \({\left| K \cap (K+x)\right| }_{n}\ge \delta {\left| K\right| }_{n}.\) We show that for \(n=2\) and any \(\delta \in (0,1)\) , ellipsoids do not maximize the volume of the \(\delta \) -convolution body of K, when K runs over all convex bodies of a fixed volume. This behavior is somehow unexpected and contradicts the limit case \(\delta \rightarrow 1^-\) , which is governed by the Petty projection inequality.
