Sports suspension with specifically tuned spring / damper units and larger stabilisers
provides high lateral acceleration and a reduced rolling tendency while Curve Dynamic Assist applies imperceptible braking force on the inside wheels to help turn in and cornering stability.
Absolute engine health, even under extreme racetrack conditions
with high lateral acceleration, is guaranteed by oil circulation using a dry sump system.
The AMG sports suspension with specially tuned spring / damper units and bigger anti-roll bars provides
for high lateral acceleration and reduced body roll in fast double bends.
The front suspension decouples the wheel location and damping functions to avoid compromising comfort
under high lateral acceleration, allowing the steering to remain as unaffected as possible by bumps in the road.
A consistent supply of oil to the engines, even at times
of high lateral acceleration, is ensured by a dry sump lubrication system with an external engine oil reservoir.
The standard - fit AMG Performance 4MATIC all - wheel drive system features a rear - biased torque distribution of 31 percent to the front axle and 69 percent to the rear axle, providing better vehicle dynamics and
higher lateral acceleration on the road, but also improved traction.
The chassis experts also reconfigured both of the axles of the Golf GTI Clubsport S. Take, for example, the rear axle: the modular performance axle has been given extra potential for directional control in order to
achieve higher lateral accelerations.
The torque distribution algorithm communicates with the ALPINA DME and the adaptive suspension system to increase driving dynamics and agility, particularly
during high lateral acceleration, creating unexpected sporty and neutral handling despite all - wheel drive.
The AMG sports suspension with specially tuned spring / damper units and bigger anti-roll bars
ensures high lateral acceleration and reduced body roll when driving fast on winding roads.
In conjunction with the wide track width and configuration for large tire dimensions, wheel location and spring elements, which are independent of one another,
facilitate high lateral acceleration, while the low unsprung masses promote the agile driving feel yet further.
In combination with the likewise newly developed wishbone guide bearings, this design results in significantly more agile cornering,
with higher lateral acceleration and lower body roll.
The AMG sports suspension with specifically tuned spring / damper units and larger stabilisers provides
for high lateral acceleration and a reduced rolling tendency in fast double bends.
Variable distribution of drive power between the right and left rear wheel significantly improves steering precision and tracking stability at all speeds, with DSC being required to stabilise the vehicle only
under high lateral acceleration.
AHK increases the rear - wheel steering progressively at speeds greater than 40 km / h (25 mph) and with moderate to
high lateral accelerations.
The higher the lateral acceleration becomes, the larger the sideslip angle grows.
At
the highest lateral accelerations, near the physical limit, AHK reaches its maximum rear - wheel steering angle of 2 degrees — ten times more than the passive steering provides!
The greatest advantages become apparent during powerful acceleration out of bends, where the locking differential allows maximum grip and
high lateral acceleration.
The Ferrari 458 Speciale has the fastest response time (0.060 s) and
highest lateral acceleration (1.33 g) ever achieved by a production car wearing the Cavallino Rampante badge.
With improved force generation from both front and rear tires, the Pirelli P Zero tires provide
a higher lateral acceleration and reduce understeer characteristics.
In addition, the driver benefits from reduced body roll,
higher lateral acceleration, better traction, and strong neutral handling at the limit.
High lateral acceleration is one of the primary causes of rollovers.
For example, given other factors are equal, a vehicle entering a curve at a higher speed has
a higher lateral acceleration and, as a result, is more likely to roll than a vehicle entering the curve at a lower speed.
The engine torque reduction metric ensures that the system has the capability to automatically reduce engine torque in response to
high lateral acceleration and yaw rate conditions.
