the corner under braking and ease out under glorious V8 power.
When diving into
corners under braking, it almost felt like the gearbox was downshifting a hair too early when left in full automatic mode.

The ceramic
brakes are tireless and the way the car starts to adopt a neutral angle
under full power out of
corners is a very long way from the inert Audis of old.
Put key in ignition of car
under tow and take streering lock off as long as you tie to 2 points on both vechicals You will be fine
corners braking the lot works fine
Calculating like an MIT whiz — it clocks myriad parameters on a 6 - millisecond loop — the eLSD retards spark to dial in understeer when drivers defy the car's physical limits and promotes stability
under braking and at mid-
corner and
corner exit.
It proved effective in controlling lean - in in
corners, as well as motion
under hard
braking or acceleration.
The softness does result in a fair bit of body roll in
corners, plus forward dive
under heavy
braking — issues the Lexus Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System doesn't completely resolve.
And then I enjoy the very same things about the GTR as the P1 on track - its wonderful sense of agility, the superb feeling you get of exactly how much rear grip you have left, and the balance that wllows you to
brake deep into
corners to eliminate understeer and then point the car with laser precision
under power.»
The Brabham was the fastest of our four cars around Donington, outperforming the Porsche in acceleration,
under braking, and through the fast
corners.
In Corsa (race) mode, the steering action speeds up dramatically, tip - in is an object lesson in preemptive obedience, torque vectoring clearly favors the rear wheels, and the dampers keep the body almost level even
under hard
braking and through maximum - g
corners.
For example, the computer clamps down the differential
under braking for increased stability then progressively unlocks the diff as you wind on more steering lock, minimizing understeer and helping the GT3 turn through the
corner.
You feel the diff locking up
under braking, and the transition from deceleration stabilization to lock - up while powering out of a low - speed
corner isn't as progressive as the eLSD setup in the other Porsche.
It's easy to work the front into a
corner and if you choose to trail
brake then you can happily have the rear of the car moving
under momentum.
Going deep into
corner two in the rear - engine RS, I felt a strong interruption from the PSM as the rear end popped out of line
under heavy trail
braking.
If fact, the only element to show any fatigue was the front tyres; the ABS became more eager to activate
under braking and you have to be a little more tentative with the throttle in the tighter
corners to retain full traction.
Along with torque vectoring, it will, for example, miraculously pull the car straight again at the exit of a bend or
under hard
braking into a downhill
corner.
Under heavy loads like cornering, braking or at speed etc that tyre already has a real weak point, and failure under those conditions could easily end in disa
Under heavy loads like
cornering,
braking or at speed etc that tyre already has a real weak point, and failure
under those conditions could easily end in disa
under those conditions could easily end in disaster.
For the second race of the day, I resolve to
brake less and maintain more
cornering speed, trusting the slicks to keep the car
under control.
Right now I'm scrapping with the road, flicking the R500 into
corners and then trying not to unleash too much power too early, thinking hard about every
braking input (there's no ABS to lean on, of course), yo - yoing up and down the thumping power - curve and just occasionally dialling - in a correction as the tail steps out
under power, just occasionally riding out the slide for the length of a gear because the R500 wants me to.
The nimbleness the TT RS Coupe exhibits
under brakes into
corners is diluted in the Roadster, it's just not quite as eager to turn in or play.
In fact, the smaller tread blocks of partially worn tires «squirm» and flex less
under hard
cornering or
braking, making them feel more precise.
The second is that the absence of a rear anti-roll bar means you're always chasing the F1's tail, be it
under power through a
corner or
under braking into a
corner.
While the benefit is totally symmetrical
under hard
braking, aero vectoring automatically shifts the load to the inner rear wheel when
cornering at the limit of adhesion.
Stability Control reacts in moments of
under - steer or over-steer by reducing torque and applying the
brakes to individual wheels for enhanced control when
cornering.»
The tyre performed relatively well on
cornering speed but the lack of grip control, the fact that the tyre produced the most movement
under braking and sub-standard steering feel resulted in the slowest lap times.
Performance gains include less rear - end squat during acceleration, less nose dive
under braking and reduced body roll while
cornering.
Mike Skeen, No. 71 Park Place Porsche 911 GT America: «With the aero improvements for this event, our Park Place Porsche 911 GT America is easier to drive, handles better
under braking and is more comfortable through the high speed
corners.
Unlike older models, the WRX STI S208 does not suffer from
under - steering issues — when turning
corners — thanks to an innovative «Active Torque Vectoring»

Body lean in
cornering is pronounced, thanks to a high ride height, and this translates into slight nose - dive
under braking.
And the benefits of this high - speed testing and of the new all - independent suspension show up on the road in the form of considerably reduced roll in
cornering and far less dive
under braking.
The adjustable suspension when firmed up keeps the car planted in
corners with only a hint of roll and dive
under braking.

With 755 horsepower the 2019 Chevrolet Corvette zr1 is the most powerful Corvette ever it's also the most technologically advanced behind me are the rolling s's at Road Atlanta and we're here to see if we can reach to the supercar levels of performance afforded by this thing's massive power big tires and the tall wing on the back after that we'll take to the streets to see if a car this powerful can behave itself in public this is a monster of a car I've had some brief track opportunities moving this morning to get used to the pace of this machine which is phenomenal we're gonna warm up as we get out to the road Atlanta and sort of build up to the pace that this car can operate at now initially when you hop in this car you have this shrine to the engine right above you you see the line of the hood it kind of dominates the center of the view you can see over it it doesn't affect visibility but it's immediately obvious and that kind of speaks to what makes this car special it's a monster of an engine listen to that [Music] that is tremendous tremendous acceleration and incredible power but what I finding so far my brief time here at the Atlanta is that everything else in the car is rut has risen to match hurt me while I lay into it on the back straight look you know 150 mile - an - hour indicated we're going to ease up a little bit on it because I need to focus on talking rather than driving but like I was saying the attributes of the rest of the car the steering the
braking capability the grip every system of this car is riding to the same level of the power and I think that's what makes it really impressive initially this is undoubtedly a mega mega fast car but it's one that doesn't terrify you with its performance potential there's a level of electronic sophistication that is unparalleled at this price point but it's hard not to get you know totally slipped away by the power of this engine so that's why I keep coming back to it this car has an electronically controlled limited slip differential it has shocks filled with magnetically responsive fluid that can react faster to inputs and everything this car has a super sophisticated stability control system that teaches you how to drive it quick but also makes you go faster we haven't even gotten into exploring it yet because the limits of this car are so high that frankly it takes a while to grow into it but [Music] I think what's impressive about this car is despite how fast it is it is approachable you can buy this car to track dates with it and grow with it as a driver and as an owner I think that's a really special [Music] because you will never be more talented than this car is fast ever unless you are a racing driver casually grazing
under 50 miles an hour on this straight okay I'm just going to enjoy driving this now [Music][Applause][Music] this particular Corvette zr1 comes with the cars track performance package a lot of those changes happen underneath the sheet metal but one of the big differences that is immediately obvious is this giant carbon fiber wing now the way this thing is mounted is actually into the structure of the vehicle and it makes you know loading the rear hatch a bit more difficult but we're assuming that's okay if you're looking for the track performance this thing delivers also giving you that performance are these Michelin Pilot Sport cup tires which are basically track oriented tires that you can drive on the street but as we wake our way to the front of the thing what really matters is what's
under the hood that's right there's actually a hole in the hood of this thing and that's because this engine is so tall it's tall because it has a larger supercharger and a bunch of added cooling on it to help it you know keep at the right temperature the supercharger is way larger than the one on the zo six and it has a more cooling capacity and the downside is it's taller so it pops literally through the hood the cool thing is from the top you can actually see this shake when you're looking at it from you know a camera from the top of the vehicle this all makes for 755 horsepower making this the most powerful Corvette ever now what's important about that is this not just the power but likewise everything in the car has to be built to accommodate and be able to drive to the level of speed this thing can develop that's why you had the massive cooling so I had the aerodynamics and that's why I had the electronic sophistication inside [Applause] we had a lot of time to take this car on the track yesterday and I've had the night to think about things Matt today two crews on the road and see how this extreme performance machine deals with the sort of more civil minded stuff of street driving the track impressions remain this thing is unquestionably one of the most capable cars you can get from a dealer these days a lot of that's besides the point now because we're on the street we have speed limits they have the ever - present threat of law enforcement around every
corner so the question is what does this car feel like in public when you slow this car down it feels like a more powerful Corvette you don't get much tram lining from these big wheels though we as the front end doesn't want to follow grooves in the pavement it is louder it is a little firmer but it's certainly livable on a day to day basis that's surprising for a vehicle of this capability normally these track oriented cars are so hardcore that you wouldn't want to drive them to the racetrack but let's face it you spend more time driving to the track than you do on the track and the fact that this thing works well in both disciplines is really impressive I can also dial everything back and cruise and not feel like I'm getting punished for driving a hardcore track machine that's a that's a really nice accomplishment that's something that you won't find in cars that are this fast and costs maybe double this much the engine in this car dominates the entire experience you can't miss the engine and the whole friend this car is sort of a shrine to it the way it pops out of the hood the way it's covered with coolers around the sides it is the experience of this car and that does make driving this thing special and also the fact that it doesn't look half bad either in fact I think it has some of the coolest looking wheels currently available on a new car this car as we mentioned this car has the track package the track package on this car gives you what they call competition bucket seats which are a little wide for my tastes but I'm you know not the widest person in the world this automatic transmission works well I mean there's so much torque again out of this engine that it can be very smooth and almost imperceptible its clunky on occasion I think I'd might opt for the manual although Chevy tells me about 80 % of its customers will go for the automatic I don't think they're gonna be disappointed and that's gonna be the faster transmission drag strip on the street - and on the racetrack man it was a little bit more satisfying to my taste though we've talked about the exhaust I have it set in the track setting let's quiet it down a little bit so you can hear the difference now I've set that separately from everything else so let's put it stealth what happened to the engine sound that's pretty that's pretty amazing man stealth is really stealth and then go back to track Wow actually a really big difference that's that's pretty great the Corvette has always been a strong value proposition and nowhere is that more evident than this zr1 giving you a nearly unbeatable track performance per dollar now the nice thing is on the road this doesn't feel like a ragged edge track machine either you could genuinely drive it every day the compromises are few and that's what makes this car so special if you like what you see keep it tuned right here and be sure to visit Edmunds.com [Music]
The benefits of having more weight on the rear tires for acceleration are, again, pretty obvious, but did you know that less weight (to a certain extent) on the smaller, narrower front tires also helps
under braking as well as in the turns since nose - heavy stock Mustangs easily overwhelm their front tires to the point of locking the
brakes or understeering in a
corner?
S - AWC uses integrated management of these systems to exert high - precision control on drive torque and
brake force at each wheel to enhance
cornering and stability
under all conditions from everyday driving to emergency evasion; thereby producing vehicle behavior that faithfully reflects driver intent.
The nose drops
under heavy
braking, and there is a little body lean in the
corners, but it's steady and predictable with no hint of drama.
AMG high - performance
braking system The AMG high - performance
braking system provides perfect stopping power even
under extreme driving conditions with 14.2 - inch internally ventilated and cross - drilled
brake discs at all four
corners.
It's a far better machine on winding slow
corners, too, rotating around its axis either
under brakes,
under a bit of throttle or even just leaning on the front tyres.
