Not exact matches
Benchmark performance is marche by outstanding driver involvement courtesy
of later braking, quicker turn - in,
higher entry speeds and greater
lateral acceleration through bends.
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!
In conjunction with the wide track width and the configuration for large tyre dimensions, wheel location and spring elements which are independent
of one another facilitate
high lateral acceleration, whilst the low unsprung masses promote the agile driving feel yet further.
Continued lubrication is vital, especially at very
high engine speeds
of up to 9,000 rpm and under the effects
of the extremely
high lateral and longitudinal
acceleration that can be experienced on the race track.
This Alfa Romeo exclusive keeps the constant caster trail on corners and can tackle
high lateral accelerations as a result
of the always perfect footprint.In any situation and at all speeds, driving Alfa Romeo Giulia with the most direct steering ratio available is natural and instinctive.
The greatest advantages become apparent during powerful
acceleration out
of bends, where the locking differential allows maximum grip and
high lateral acceleration.
According to Chevy, the changes help the Camaro 1LE achieve more than 1.0 g
of lateral acceleration, which also made the engineers beef up the rear - axle half - shafts to handle the increased traction levels and the ZL1's
high - capacity fuel pump and additional fuel pickups were added to prevent fuel starvation during hard - cornering.
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.
According to Chevy, the suspension improvements enable the Camaro 1LE to achieve more than 1.0 g
of lateral acceleration, which also forced engineers to beef up the rear - axle half - shafts to handle the
higher traction levels.
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.
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 Clubsport S is characterised by similarly good balance to the «normal» Clubsport, even at
higher levels
of lateral acceleration, allowing even
higher cornering speeds.
High lateral acceleration is one
of the primary causes
of rollovers.
NHTSA's research indicates than an ESC system's ability to maintain an absolute
lateral acceleration below the criteria would provide an acceptable probability that the vehicle would remain stable and that a level
of absolute
lateral acceleration above the criteria would result in a
high probability
of the vehicle becoming unstable.
A vehicle without a stability control system being tested with these maneuvers would exhibit
high levels
of lateral acceleration and potentially experience wheel lift or rollover.
The greatest advantages become apparent during fast
acceleration out
of bends, where the locking differential allows maximum grip and
high rates
of lateral acceleration.
