allows you to place the car on the road with millimetric precision.
Our tester included the optional Kinetic Dynamic Suspension
System, which uses
hydraulic pressure to disengage the front and rear sway bars during certain conditions,
allowing for greater articulation on the trail.

hydraulic steering
system to
allow features such as Lane Keep Assist, Highway Assist, Blind Spot Assist with Adaptive Cruise Control and Traffic Sign Recognition.
Called the Nano F - Tronic, an electro -
hydraulic mechanism that uses electronic control unit and a
hydraulic system to supervise clutch usage and gear shifting,
allows the driver to shift gears without a clutch.

system, corner brake control,
hydraulic brake fade assist and drag torque control.
The
hydraulic system (which replaces the stabilizer bar) helps keep the body flat around corners while also
allowing the more independent wheel movement than a bar to soak up bumps.
Implementation of analysis technology over the contact behavior between the belt and pulley and a high - precision
hydraulic control
system allow for continual optimization of
hydraulic pressure to the pulley under a variety of driving conditions, contributing to improved fuel efficiency.
Steering feedback is precise and responsive even at lower speeds
allowing you to predict the car's movements, thanks to McLaren keeping the
system hydraulic and not going electric like most others.
Technical Data: 8 cylinder 90 degree V - configuration; aluminium - silicon alloy cylinder block with cast iron wet cylinder liners; bore x stroke 104.14 x 99.06 mm (4.1 x 3.9 in), capacity 6,761 cc; aluminium alloy cylinder heads, Bosch Motronic ME7 1.1 engine management
system, twin Garrett T3 turbochargers with intercooler and boost - valve, 530 bhp / 395kW at 4,000 rev / min, max torque 1,050 Nm (774 lb.ft) at 3,250 rev / min; 6 - speed ZF automatic transmission with locking torque converter, semi-automatic function

hydraulic dampers, anti roll bars, automatic ride height control with auto load compensation, Bosch 5.7.
The aforementioned
hydraulic suspension
system does away with conventional sway bars, which in turn
allows for the
hydraulic cylinders located at each wheel to deliver maximum wheel articulation when required.
The solenoids
allow direct control of the
hydraulic pressure applied to the shifting clutches, along with centrifugal fluid pressure canceling mechanisms, enabling finer control than conventional clutch - control
systems.
Hydraulic Active Roll Control (H - ARC)
system is new to the SVX model and enhances off - road traction and
allows for better body control all while minimizing body roll for on - road driving.
A
Hydraulic Active Roll Control (H - ARC)
system is new to the SVX model and enhances off - road traction and
allows for better body control all while minimizing body roll for on - road driving.
We won't go into too much detail here, but suffice to say it utilises stabiliser bars front and rear for high - speed on - road stability, which decouples via a
hydraulic system to
allow greater wheel articulation when off - road.
Also, the new
system will be joining the present eight - speed transmission used for Kia models with rear - wheel drive, featuring smaller
hydraulic oil pump or a high - performance direct control valve body with 12 valves out of 20, which reduce shift times; it
allows as well a 34 percent ratio increase over the six - speed automatic, improving thus acceleration and fuel economy.
This also
allows for a 30 % cost reduction, compared to the current separate
hydraulic fill
systems.
Details: A connector in the
hydraulic system of the 7 - speed Auto - Shift Manual (ASM) transmission could fail and
allow the assembly to move and potentially cause a transmission fluid leak, which would result in the lack of ability to change gears.
This upgrade would finally
allow the automaker to bless the G - Class with safety and convenience technologies that have graced its other offerings for years: Active lane - keeping assist, Pre-Safe collision avoidance
systems, and self - parking capability — all of which require the car to occasionally steer itself, a capability not compatible with the old
hydraulic recirculating - ball steering
system.
The result reduces fuel consumption by 3 per cent compared to a regular
hydraulic set - up, gives variable performance depending on driving conditions and speed, and
allows the steering to be influenced by the car's electronic
systems.
The oil and gas industry uses
hydraulic fracturing to enhance subsurface fracture
systems to
