This in turn optimises the chassis» momentum, requiring
a reduced steering angle and improving the car's overall dynamic stability.
Because of the increase in structural rigidity, the «R» mode now enables the vehicle to achieve the same yaw rate with
reduced steering angle for a crisper, more communicative steering response, while the «Comfort» suspension setting produces less vertical G - loading in testing when compared to the «Normal» suspension setting.

Variable sport steering: Adjusts continuously based on steering angle to offer more comfort during tight maneuvers (such as parking), as well as improved handling and
reduced steering angle during dynamic driving.
Not exact matches
Steering the rear wheels opposite from the front - wheels — even at only a small
angle — can considerably
reduce the turning radius and make parking and or taking short corners easier.
At low speed and high
steering angles, the rear wheels turn the opposite direction to the fronts to scoot the rear end around tighter bends, virtually
reducing the turning radius of the long sedan.
It is selected by a button on the
steering wheel and
reduces the
angle of the rear wing to zero.
Both suspension variants are combined with a new electromechanical Direct -
Steer system featuring speed - sensitive power
steering and a ratio that can be varied across the
steering wheel
angle and it also
reduces the amount of
steering required when parking and manoeuvring.
This system increases turning agility at low speeds and requires less
steering angle, as well as a
reduced turning radius.
The rear
steering angle varies up to + / - 3.0 degrees, according to vehicle speed and driving mode selected: at low speeds the rear - axle
steering angle is opposite to that of the front wheels (counter-phase
steering), effectively shortening the wheelbase up to 600 mm for increased agility and a
reduced turning circle for increased maneuverability.
The seat height has been
reduced by 40 mm and the
steering wheel tilt
angle lowered by 2 degrees, creating a more engaging driving position with a low hip point.
In addition, the
steering wheel
angle has been
reduced from 24 degrees to 22 degrees for a more natural control position.
By monitoring vehicle speed, wheel speed, gear position,
steering angle, lateral G forces and vehicle yaw rate, torque can be increased to the outside rear wheel in corners to help
reduce understeer and enhance the car's cornering feel.
The maximum
steering wheel
angles - an indicator of
steering effort - were
reduced during the obstacle - avoidance test by 22 percent on average;
steering wheel
angles of more than 180 degrees, which force the driver to move their hands on the
steering wheel, were eliminated.
With less
steering wheel
angle required, the Aventador S is more agile with a
reduced turning radius, ensuring higher performance in curves and making it easy to maneuver in town and at low speeds.
When the
steering wheel
angle exceeds around 100 degrees, the ratio becomes more direct to
reduce the number of
steering wheel turns required to park or manoeuvre.
At low speeds, front wheels face in opposite direction to the
steering angle, thereby virtually
reducing the wheelbase.
High camber
angles and toe -
angle rigidity further improve cornering power and
reduce the required
steering angle.
This means that ARP brake intervention is diminished accordingly at
reduced vehicle speed or
steering angle speeds.
They
reduce the burden on the stabilization program because the corrections take place considerably earlier via the input torque, the damping force or the
steering angle.
We
reduce the ride height of a vehicle to gain performance handling but if you go too low these
angles are affected which will cause poor handling with more body roll, and bump
steer.»
This provides increased turning agility at low speeds, requiring less
steering angle and a
reduced turning radius.
When driving in a straight line or when taking a bend with a steady
steering angle, the consumption of energy is
reduced to zero.
