New
chassis tech rests primarily in what Honda calls «amplitude reactive double - valve shock absorbers» — an effort to mechanically replicate rheostat -
controlled, variable - rate suspension
at an entry - level price point.
Its twin - turbo engine, state - of - the art
at that time electronically
controlled chassis, all - wheel drive system and aero body helped it become the world's fastest street - legal production car after reaching 317 km / h.
Variable drift
control will be one of the highlights of a new, innovative active
chassis control system that will be the basis of McLaren's 650S replacement when it debuts
at the Geneva motor show next month (March 2017).
Traction
control: Even
at full acceleration the car has yet better traction due to the modified
chassis tuning and the semi-slicks.
While the driver can reduce the traction
control effectiveness allowing more wheel slip during stuck condition by pressing the VSA button, ABS remains fully operational
at all times (see the
Chassis Section for more information).
Several other crucial changes have been made to the standard
ATS sedan and coupe, including the addition of tri-compound Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, which will offer superb grip with extended tire wear, along with integrated
chassis controls that will provide balanced performance
at the track, as well as in everyday driving.
In addition to the sophisticated
chassis technology with McPherson struts
at the front axle and the central
control arm rear axle, which is itself unique in the small car segment, the electromechanical EPAS (Electrical Power Assisted Steering) is a further guarantee of reliable and precise handling.
