IS-F engine is coupled with the first eight-speed direct sport shifter. A torque converter lock-up control was developed that allows the shift, immediately evident through the constant lock-up torque converter in second through eighth gear. Drive mode, the IS-F transmission performs great subtlety, and the torque converter allows for great launch ability for fast standing start acceleration that will register zero to 60 times in less than 4.9 seconds.
This unique transmission also features an advanced Manual mode. A pair of paddles located within reach of the finger behind the wheel allows the driver to make ultra-quick gear changes make a change in tenths of seconds. Demotion accompanied by automated throttle blips and incredible engine speed to precisely match the vehicle speed.
Remarkable acceleration obtained by the IS-F requires it equipped with Brembo brakes are designed with a strong specification of the Lexus engineering team. Large, 14.2-inch drilled front discs are gripped by rigid, strong aluminum calipers with six pistons, while the 13.6-inch rear drilled discs feature two-piston. High-friction brake pads are equipped on all four wheels. Brakes are finished with the Lexus name displayed on the calipers, a first for Lexus production vehicle.
IS-F features specially designed 19-inch forged alloy wheels as standard. Wheels built to Lexus specifications by BBS and are surrounded by high-performance sport tires.
The attention to performance also extends to a modified suspension that lowers the entire car by more than half an inch from the bottom, and a full inch as compared to IS models equipped with 18-inch wheels. This specially modified suspension allows for a hard pull and energetic, both on the race track or on the street.
IS-F is equipped with a new three-mode version of Lexus Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM). In addition to the normal mode, the new VDIM features a Sport mode allows the driver to push the car even before the braking acceleration, and steering control systems kick in. The third mode is disabled VDIM system, which allows the pilot to push the IS-F to the highest level of handling performance.
Attention to performance modifications come with the style cues that differentiate the IS-F IS standard. Lexus IS-F provides engineers with a dual exhaust system and quad-tail pipes, wider front fenders, and a larger grille and rear spoiler. Both the hood and lower intake enlarged to accommodate and cool the V8 engine.
Like the exterior, the interior of the IS-F receives unique style with aluminized composite surface treatments and special trim. The instrument panel includes an indicator to measure the temperature and oil displacement status, while "F" logo is displayed on the rear wheel and center console.
In addition to usual Lexus standards of comfort and convenience in the IS-F features specially shaped and trimmed seats that hold the driver comfortably and securely in place. Special sport seats are available in black or a single plate, high-contrast black and white.
"The purpose of creating the IS-F to not be a competitor to other performance-sport sedans," said Carter "On the contrary., Goal is to create a true performance sedan in a uniquely Lexus way-one that is truly authentic with a unique interpretation of raw driving experience at all speeds and provides a new definition of 'usable power. "
IS-F will arrive at Lexus dealerships in early 2008.

Although the production of new cars and real racing car both share the mystique of the Ford GT name, they do not share a single dimension. The new car is more than 18 inches longer and stands nearly 4 inches taller. New line of harness and refine the best features of Ford GT history and express the identity of the car through modern proportion and surface development.
Ford GT production car, like the concept, casts visible, familiar slender than its namesake, yet every dimension, every curve and every line of cars is a unique reinterpretation of the original. This car has a long front overhang reminiscent of the 1960 race car. But its sweeping hood, subtle accent lines and high intensity discharge (HID) clearly strike a contemporary pose.
Front fenders curve over 18-inch wheels and Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar tires. In the tradition of original Ford GT racers, the doors cut into the roof. Visible on the front edge of the rear quarter panel of the ball functional channel fresh air into the engine. Rear wheel wells, filled with 19-inch wheels and tires, define the rear of the car, while the accent line from the front cover and end up joining the profile of the car in the integration of "ducktail" spoiler.
The interior design incorporates the novel "ventilated seats" and instrument layout of the original car, with simple analog gauges and large tachometer. Modern version of the operating system switches to switch in the original key car.
Looking through the backlight, one finds the essence of the sports car version of the 5.4-liter supercharged V8 from Ford's MOD. Finishing Touches "Ford Blue" cam covers, each with an aluminum coil cover imprinted with the words "Powered by Ford."
Chassis and Powertrain
Ford GT team knew this road car would require a rigid structure, like a racing car. Thus, they developed a framework of space, including all-aluminum, extrusions and castings stamping a few years. Space Frame aluminum hybrid frame based on the effective use of 35 extrusions, seven complex castings, two semi-solid formed castings and various stamped aluminum panels.
The new Ford GT is designed for the road, unlike the original racing cars from the 1960's which eventually led to a number of production road cars. However, a unique new race cars, according to the needs of engineering solutions - like engineering "lift" aerodynamics inherent in the design of the original car - a car that will clock in at more than 205 mph. The new Ford GT includes racing inspired ground effects channel under the rear fascia.
Ford GT features a new and unique technologies, including super-plastic formed aluminum body panels, floor panels glued rolls, friction stir welded center tunnel, a capless fuel filler panel door in one piece and an aluminum engine cover with one piece carbon fiber inner panel.
As historic racing cars, aluminum body panels without the pressure of the Ford GT. Instead of the steel bath or honeycomb-composite used in 1960, the Ford GT team developed a framework for all-new aluminum space as a base. This chassis has a length equivalent to control arms and coil-over spring damper to allow a low profile.
Braking is provided by four-piston calipers with aluminum monobloc Brembo cross-drilled and ventilated discs at all. When the canopy is open again, the rear suspension components and engine become the focal point of the car. Precision cast aluminum suspension components, 19-inch Goodyear tires - combined with the large presence of the V8 engine - create a striking appearance and communicate the performance credentials of the Ford GT.
Ford GT motor, based on the largest in Ford V8 modular engine family, features 85 percent new moving parts and produces 550 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque. Both figures are comparable with the 7.0 liter engine that won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1966 and 1967.
Machinery 5.4-liter all-aluminum and fed by an Eaton screw compressor. It features 4-valve cylinder heads and forged components, including the crankshaft, H-beam connecting rods and aluminum pistons. Power is inserted into the road through a six-speed transaxle with a manual Ricardo helical limited slip differential.
Race History
The original Ford GT40 racer is a marvel of engineering and design of Ford shows dedication and perseverance. In recent years, under the leadership of Henry Ford II, the company built a program from scratch that reached the peak of international motor sport competition - and stayed there for four seasons running.
Perhaps the world's largest - and glamorous - motorsport contest, Le Mans in 1960 showed signs of being a work of Ferrari, because Italy has been a leader in a number of endurance classes and events. But the Ford GT race car changed Le Mans forever, and today marks a new era for Ford Motor Company.

The new super sports car Mercedes-Benz and AMG to create an attractive proposition with unparalleled technology package: aluminum frame body with gullwing doors, AMG 3.6-liter V8 engine developed in the mid 420 kW / 571 hp maximum power of 650 Nm of torque and lubrication dry sump, seven-speed dual clutch transmission with transaxle configuration, sports suspension with aluminum double wishbones and 1620 pounds curb weight based DINstandard - this combination gives a superlative driving dynamics first-rate. Distribution front / rear weight at 47-53 percent and a low center of gravity of the vehicle is proof of this concept sports car without compromise. The 'Gullwing' accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 3.8 seconds, before moving to a top speed of 317 km / h (electronically limited). Fuel consumption of 13.2 liters per 100 kilometers (combined), it makes the front of the competitive field (all figures provisional).
"Mercedes-Benz presents the exhilarating super sports car under the cover of the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, which is bound to set the pulses of all car enthusiasts racing that extra bit faster and Mercedes-Benz. AMG have combined to make the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG - the quickly became one of the most exciting sports cars of all time, "said Dr. Dieter Zetsche, CEO of Daimler AG and Head of Mercedes-Benz.
"Our customers will experience with Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG the expertise of Mercedes-AMG, built more than 40 years of motor racing technology package offers superb driving dynamics unmatched fuel consumption coupled with moderate -. An integral part of modern AMG," said Volker Mornhinweg, Chairman of Mercedes-AMG GmbH.
"The style of the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG is not only very special because of the exclusive gullwing doors. Our aspiration is to use this understanding to create a classic sports car tomorrow and dissemination of the most attractive in the 21st century. Our goal is to create an iconic new design , which form the legend of our brand is unmatched, with models like the Mercedes CLS or SL. At the same time, the new Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS open design philosophy of Mercedes-Benz sports car of the future, "says Gorden Wagener, Head of Design at Mercedes- Benz.
Design: purist, distinctive and passionate
Typical style of the new Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG impresses with its sporty and spirited interpretation of stunning lines of Mercedes-Benz 300 SL - one of the icons of the unique design of the Mercedes-Benz. With the sleek design of the new SLS AMG reflects the philosophy of contemporary sports car engineering: the bonnet which measures just under two meters, low greenhouse positioned well to the rear and short rear-end with its wings extended only as a powerful reminder of the superlative dynamism as the wheelbase length, width and wheel tracks great. The short overhangs feed through into the proportions, as well as a super sports car design with a low profile until the middle of a game engine well back and dual-clutch transmission with transaxle configuration. Clearly this style comes courtesy of gullwing doors which give Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG unparalleled charisma - make a unique statement in the segment of vehicles.
Gullwing doors are not alone in reviving memories of the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL, Mercedes grille characteristic large star with a large wing-shaped fins and the cross was returned to the front-end of the legendary sports car. Three-dimensional sculptured front-end with low-set, swept the front apron set well on the side of giving "Gullwing" strong position on the road. Six large cooling air intakes and lights are arranged vertically just as well outside of their interior will appeal to the dominant plant bi-xenon low cross with his wing parts are metal framed on top by two LED indicators and LED daytime running lights on the base .
Effect of aircraft construction
The allusion to the construction plane comes courtesy of the prominent Mercedes star, the tubular section is reminiscent of the air intake of a jet engine when viewed from the side, and a long veil: that the eye is pulled forward, so that the viewer becomes more aware of the curve. The design of the four fins with their Silver Shadow finish that adorn two lattice of air holes at the end of the hood to create the same visual impression. These lines also has a visual style speed air flow past - and make the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG looks very dynamic, even in a stationary position.
The fins on the hood that came on the side of the vehicle: lovers also find here the typical characteristic style of SL 300. The "6.3" letters is placed between the fins provides a clear reference to displacement naturally aspirated V8 engine height. Maintained through the air intake side of the line style of the prominent characteristics, which together with the convex side and surface treatment exhilarating, combining aesthetics with strength. Interior also prove interesting because obviously compact. With a high waist, low side window and glass appear as sharp reap some kind of helmet. Forward angle B-pillar with walking style to sweep the rear window radiates pure dynamism.
Side view is dominated by the muscles and the shoulder
Seen in profile, eyes drawn to the shoulder of vehicles Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, which extends like a strained muscle in the front to back. Features 19-inch (front) and 20-inch (rear) alloy wheels fill the wheel arches, which stand out clearly from the side wall. Three different variants of the wheel, all provide a glimpse of a large high-performance composite brakes. Seen from above, lines, which connect muscles stand out continuously in the background. This feature also forces picked up on the hood where the eyes follow the contours of a typical running on the roof between the gullwing doors, through a third brake light.
Rear view that emphasizes the wide
Rear view Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG emerged as the dynamics and power: the lid ramps emphasize the width direction, an impression reinforced by the vehicle's shoulder to the rear lights and elegant: with LED technology, the unit horizontally structured lighting provides bright outlook. Wing-shaped LED lighting elements ensure a distinctive character, design a fun night. Formula-1-lamp style LED fog / reversing lights set low in the middle. Similarly inspired by motor racing is entering a black diffuser and two chromed tailpipes of the sports exhaust system. Tapered rear deck offers striking views over the rear wheels off, the loan "Gullwing" confident position on the road. Spoiler integrated into trunk lid is automatically deployed from the speed of 120 km / h to ensure optimum stability at high speeds.
New color: "AMG ALU-BEAM silver" and two matt
Color graphics for Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG includes nine paintings exclusively. The climax comes in the form of a unique "AMG ALU-BEAM silver" paint: a new unique process of painting shines like molten metal. Paint covers the body panels such as metallic skin, emphasizes brilliant design lines of the 'Gullwing' is stronger than ever and the paint job makes it more alive by the reflected light that is targeted. This effect is made possible thanks to small-sized pigment between 30 and 50 nanometers.
Both matte "designo Magno allanite gray" and "AMG Magno sylvanite gray" is as exciting with a satin finish, they reinforce the sporting character of the two places through the folds of a specific contouring.
Interior with allusions to the aircraft and motor sports practicality
You only need to open the door gullwing model Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG sports seats and the ease to experience a new level from within. Mercedes-Benz designers took their inspiration from aircraft construction in the interior styling - immediately brings an aircraft cockpit to mind. Features characteristic style dashboard, a powerful and dramatic wing-shaped impression made wide. Remarkably integrated into the dashboard vents with adjustable galvanized them, the nozzle cross and Silver Shadow finish - its shape reminiscent of a jet engine. Instrument cluster with a shift indicator and two white LED backlit dial instruments add a sporty touch with their metallic Silver Shadow finish. Will call a silver and red needles tachymeter scale of 360 km / h. As a central feature of the cabin, COMAND APSmultimedia with 7-inch screen is integrated between the two center air vents.
Elongated center console mat metal take on the same theme of the design of aircraft cockpit. It is home to the HARD DRIVE UNIT AMG, which is inclined towards the driver's Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS and allows them to choose their own vehicle configuration. E-SELECT lever, which recall the style of jet thrust control, controls the AMG Speedshift DCT 7-speed sports. All orders are made of solid metal with a shiny surface of the Silver Shadow.
Concave in the gullwing door panels, a high waist and side panels complement the verge of such a strong impression of the cockpit, while giving a sense of sports car ergonomics. Noble materials such as nappa leather, solid metal and (optionally) genuine carbon-fiber facings underline "custom" spoken from the interior of the Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS, and shows great attention to detail. Five different designo leather colors are available to meet individual preferences: black, classic red, sand, porcelain and light brown.
Gullwing doors open wide for easy entry
Despite the low position of only 369 millimeters sitting in typical sports car fashion, the door wide open throttle to make it easy to enter and exit the vehicle. When designing the most attention is given to a wider opening angle possible - it is 70 degrees. Equally important, the distance between the open and the road surface is a generous 1.50 meters, while the inlet between the open and the top edge of the door sills measures no less than 1.08 meters. Height of entry, ie the distance between the road surface and the top edge of the door jamb is 45 inches is very low. As an important criterion for entry and exit with dignity, two gas-pressure struts positioned next to the door hinges require only very little pressure when opening and closing the doors - even the very low ambient temperatures.
The gull-wing doors require less space than conventional coupé doors open, and can be fully opened in a normal garage. The door was opened from the inside by a handle finished in Silver Shadow. Grip molded into the armrest interior door panel ensures problem-free door closing. Buttons for operating power windows, central locking system and exterior mirror adjustment are also located on the interior door panel for easy access. Comfortable feeling of space largely due to the generous shoulder-room 1483 of a millimeter and the flexibility of not less than 1606 mm. In conjunction with the maximum headroom and legroom 990 mm effective philanthropists for the pilot to 1058 mm, the result is a low seating position, but very relaxed. At the same time the intentionally steep angle windscreen ensures good visibility for passengers.
Sports seats with magnesium case
Sports seat backs are made of magnesium, high-tech material that combines light weight and high strength. This leads to significant advantages where weight distribution and low center of gravity is concerned. Sports seats feature called dual-zone seat cushions. Leading the side is reinforced with a foam filling is more difficult to provide optimal lateral support, while the inner regions of the seat and backrest are softer for a high level of comfort that long journey. In conjunction with the memory package (optional), front-rear position, seat height, backrest angle, steering angle pigeons and electrically adjustable columns and three individual settings can be saved.
Four-lumbar supports reliably protect the lower spine, while the adjustable side bolsters in the file effective increase lateral support in fast corners. Heated seats and a three-stage recognition SEAT Work / children in the passenger seat are also standard equipment.
Sports seats with integrated head restraints and sporty transverse fluting designo leather - and two-tone seats are also available in classic red, sand and porcelain. If selected as a brown interior color, sport seats are covered in leather with high-quality woven leather panels mainly from the central office. Depending on the combination of colors, fluorescent or black piping provides another sporty touch.
Performance leather steering wheel in a three-spoke design has a rim 365 mm with the bottom flat, paddle shift and a metal insert, underlining the authentic custom looks and ensure the best vehicle control.
Lots of storage space for the typical Mercedes daily fitness
Interior of the Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS also impresses with the practical storage space that makes the ability to adapt to the mouth of the typical Mercedes. Drawer with 3.7-liter glass parts are integrated into the dashboard on the passenger side. For the E-SELECT right shifter is a storage box with a small 12 V socket, or an ashtray with cigarette lighter. Armrest behind the center console not only serves to operate the COMAND controller: touch buttons, armrest can be moved in two stages to reveal a storage compartment underneath. This has two cupholders and the telephone cradle (optional), and support for buttons on the back. Other items can be placed on the back wall between the seats and into the goal package in the passenger footwell. Two fixed clothes hooks are attached to the back seat, while the folding roof coatings and silicon-insulated.
Button to open the trunk lid is located below the light switch. Alternatively, the boot can be opened using a key. Luggage compartment holds up to 176 liters. A set of bespoke luggage is available as an option, which allows boot space to be used to enjoy.
Aluminum spaceframe for lightweight design and exceptional strength
Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG is also breaking the mold when it comes to ideas about the body: for the first time, Mercedes-Benz and AMG have a car with an aluminum chassis and body. Compared with traditional steel, producing a significant weight gain, clearly illustrated in a DIN unladen weight of 1620 kg.
The body has developed a new aluminum chassis. This exclusive design combines intelligent lightweight design with outstanding strength - thus providing a superlative driving dynamics. Section lightweight aluminum connecting nodes to force a strong structure. Large low-set part of the aluminum parts ensure high resistance torque, allowing direct transfer of the disk as needed, braking and suspension forces. The structure prevents unwanted flexibility, the vehicle responds rigidly, almost torsion-free and direct.
45 percent of intelligence, weight optimized aluminum chassis made of aluminum, 31 percent of the aluminum sheet, 20 percent of cast aluminum and 4 percent in steel. Maximum occupant safety requires the use of ultra-high-heat resistant steel is formed on the pillar A. The body weight of 241 kg - an absolute reference in the segment of super sports car has been compared with a maximum output of 420 kW/571 hp.
Center of gravity low and transverse struts to strengthen the exceptional strength
The whole concept vehicle designed to reach the center of gravity as low as possible. This applies both to connect the bottom and powertrain as well as the composition of structural rigidity of the relevant body, which is kept as low as possible. Examples include rigid and flexible torque relationship between the front and rear and passenger safety cell, which carried out systematically by using the existing road is as low as possible. This is reflected not only in the center of gravity low, but also a way to force a harmonious and therefore effective in the vehicle structure.
Another important feature of the lightweight design is to strengthen cross-struts at the front and rear are integrated into the body structure. Section beams connecting the right where the ultimate power to act on the body during cornering dynamics. The advantage of advanced solutions including unmatched lateral stiffness and lack of secondary hardening or heavy media.
Passive safety the highest caliber
Of course, the aluminum chassis meets all the requirements in terms of passive safety and quality characteristics of the body of the Mercedes-Benz, which applies to all sports car Mercedes star. The best security for the occupants of passive secured by a seat belt according to the standard three-point belt pretensioners, belt force limiters and eight airbags: two adaptive airbags and kneebag each available for the driver and passengers. Two-seat side airbags and two curtain airbags that deploy a separate seat are also available.
Refined 6.3-liter AMG V8 420 kW/571 hp development
A powerful eight-cylinder engine manufactured by Mercedes-AMG is the heart of the new SLS. The smooth 3.6-liter V8 developing 420 kW/571 hp at 6800 rpm, change the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG into one of the most powerful sports cars in its segment. A power to weight ratio of 2.84 kg / hp comes courtesy of the weight of the vehicle down. Naturally aspirated engines deliver maximum torque of 650 Nm at 4750 rpm. The 'Gullwing' accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 3.8 seconds, before moving on to a top speed electronically limited to 317 km / h (all figures provisional). Internal style M 159, the V8 high-rev engine with its 6208 cc displacement completely redesigned from 156 million entry-level engine and has all the characteristics of powerful racing engines.
The main output measure includes an increase in all-new intake system, valve train and camshafts again, the use of flow-optimized tubular steel headers and exhaust system de-restriction. This resulted in much better cylinder charging, which causes increased production of almost nine percent. Eight-cylinder engine responds quickly to the movements of the accelerator, showed more pronounced at high speed flexibility throughout the rev range. Switch to dry sump lubrication also translates into a much weaker position in motor vehicles. And a lower center of gravity of the vehicle also opens the way for high lateral acceleration and exhilarating driving dynamics.
A perfect synthesis between lightweight design and strength
The use of high-strength components compensates for increased engine load associated with increased production. Forged pistons, reinforced crankshaft bearing, optimized housing structure with improved lubrication thanks to pump up demand for high performance oil ensures optimal durability. Despite a higher burden, heavy machines for 159 million less and less. Forged pistons as oscillating masses play a very valuable in this regard, resulting in an empty weight of 205 kg and, in turn, the power to weight ratio of 0.36 kg / hp - a figure unmatched in comparison to the competition. Advanced catalytic converter technology enables current exhaust emissions standards and in the future as EU 5, LEV 2 and ULEV to be met.
A suitable for demanding fuel consumption targets
Despite the sporty consumption, fuel demand targets have been met. Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG consumes 13.2 liters per 100 kilometers (combined, preliminary figures), which earned him a spot at the top of the list of competitors. Improve the effectiveness of the measures, including the familiar AMG-exclusive, friction-optimized twin-wire arc spray coating on the cylinder wall and demand, oil supply and maps optimized intelligent power management: during the phase of strike from the engine and braking, kinetic energy is used to charge the battery, instead wasted by simply generating heat. This helps the driver of recovery, not only when braking, but also helped transform the braking energy into electrical energy. Conversely, the generator is switched to no-load operation during acceleration, reducing the load on the engine.
Dual-clutch transmission with transaxle configuration and torque tube
AMG 6.3 liter V8 engine produces abundant power via an ultra-lightweight shaft of carbon fiber to the rear axle - similar to that used in the implementation of the C-Class Racing DTM Touring Car. Double-clutch transmission mounted (transaxle principle) and is connected to the back of the motor housing via a torque tube. A carbon fiber shaft rotates at engine speed in the torque tube. The advantage of the advanced solutions associated with the rigid connection between the engine and transmission and, in turn, optimal support for the force and torque generated.
A new AMG Speedshift DCT 7-speed sports handle power transfer. Double-clutch transmission offers quick gear changes with no loss of traction forces - in just 100 milliseconds. The driver can choose between four different driving modes: "C" (Controlled Efficiency), "S" (Sport), "S +" (Sport plus) or "M" (manual) with RACESTART function. In sports, Sport + and Manual modes the automatic double-clutching function is active, all modes can be selected easily via the rotary control in HARD UNIT AMG. Optimum traction comes courtesy of the mechanical differential lock, which is integrated in the compact transmission casing.
Suspended with sophisticated double-wishbone as
Solution selected by the configuration of the front mid engine plus transaxle allows for the distribution of percent ideal body weight front / rear 47-53. Mounting the engine behind the front axle has created ideal conditions for taking driving dynamics with precise steering, first-class agility, low inertia with spontaneous direction changes and outstanding traction. Commitment Mercedes-Benz and AMG to build a super sports car that combines exciting performance with a horse race style used Mercedes long-distance comfort has led to ingenious suspension. All four wheels are in double-wishbone with a track rod, a technology that has been proven in motor racing, the Formula 1. With a double wishbone axle, wheel location and suspension functions remain separate; spacer spring / damper units which are supported under the triangle. The concept of double-wishbone with high camber and track rigidity positively put the wheels with minimal elastic movements, offering the driver a sense optimal contact with the road while driving to the limit.
Wishbones, steering wheel and carrier rocket at the front and rear hubs are made entirely of forged aluminum - significantly reducing unsprung weight, which increases their configuration, including the response of the suspension. Wheelbase of 2680 millimeters long, not only produces outstanding straight line stability, but also small changes in wheel load, significantly reducing the tendency of the vehicle to dive and squat. Width of the track width - front 1682, rear 1653 mm - reducing the development burden of the wheel from inside to outside wheels during cornering, which keeps the tires grip better. Caster angle of 11.5 degrees significantly increases significantly negative camber when cornering and also enhances the adhesion of the tire - which also guarantees excellent stability when braking while cornering sharply.
