The retuned suspension has improved the Cadenza's
lift coefficient (the up - and - down forces exerted on a moving vehicle), and the end result is better high - speed stability and handling.
Air slats in the bodywork behind the wheels reduce static pressure within the arches and improve
lift coefficient by 1 %.
The focus on aerodynamics has ensured a zero
lift coefficient and a minimum of drag which provides a class - leading overall aerodynamic performance.
Jaguar says the new aero package also reduces
the lift coefficient by 45 percent for even greater stability through corners.
