Genesis says (let's get used to referring to this as a brand name) the G90's
overall body rigidity has been increased to a point 6 - percent higher than that of the Mercedes S550, because of 52 - percent advanced high - strength steel, three times the amount used in the old car, and because of 650 feet of advanced structural adhesives.

The Italian manufacturer also didn't release what, exactly, it had done to decrease the
overall weight compared to the outgoing California T. «Thanks to the extensive use of modern production technologies, all the chassis and
body - in - white components have been redesigned with a consequent reduction in weight despite an increase in torsional
rigidity,» said the automaker in its release.
The auto maker says the new model posts double - digit gains in
overall structural
rigidity over the old Golf, partially due to the use of more high - strength
body panels.
Aluminum was used to form the hood, which shaves 5.3 kilograms from the car's nose, and structural adhesives were applied to rigidly fasten some
body panels together, improving the Type - R's
overall structural
rigidity without increasing the vehicle's
overall weight.
Redeveloped suspension cross members not only enhance
body rigidity locally but also improve it
overall since the
body mount positions were optimized in the process.
Additionally, the four vertically - positioned ring structures used for the upper
body are bonded to the reinforcement area of the underbody, further enhancing
overall rigidity.
The all - new Sonata reinforces its safety in crash tests with an improved
body structure and
rigidity, while other advanced features also contribute to enhancing the vehicle's
overall safety.
The same characteristics are shared by the new rear multi-link suspension and, combined with specific tyre development,
overall vertical
rigidity has thus been improved (+35 per cent with respect to the F430) for less
body roll, and the engineers were able to introduce a more direct steering ratio (11.9 ° compared to the F430's 16.9 °, a reduction of 30 per cent) which makes for quicker and more responsive steering on both road and track.
Key Engineering Features The 2017 Ridgeline features several unique advancements in
body design and materials that significantly improve
overall rigidity, while reducing weight.
The net effect is that the new
body weighs 200 lbs less than the old; and the
rigidity overall is better.
