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.
Not exact matches
You need to have another 4
wheel alignment check done on your vehicle, and specify that you
require camber & caster
angles checking too.
Usually it's pretty hideous as it can make the car feel as if it responds differently every time you turn the
wheel, but the engineers claim this system is radically improved and offers more control and agility and
requires less steering
angle for any given corner.
The wings were flared to accommodate the larger
wheels required for motorsport, the
angle of the rear screen was reduced and a higher bootlid adopted to improve airflow to the new rear spoiler, while the front and rear bumpers were changed to match the new wings and provide further aerodynamic assistance.
The sideslip
angle has a negative impact on the steering response of a vehicle and the steering effort that is
required to change direction: If a driver decides to change direction in a curve while the vehicle is subject to oversteer and turns the steering
wheel, because of the sideslip
angle the vehicle's longitudinal axis has to cross the current direction of motion first before the vehicle body actually changes direction.
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.
The Dynamic Torque Control AWD system uses information sent from various sensors (speed, steering
angle and speed, throttle
angle and yaw rate) to automatically govern the transmission of torque to the rear
wheels, as
required.
In a nutshell, with GVC, the same corners at the same speed
required slightly less steering
angle to enter, and mid-corner bumps
required slightly less
wheel correction and slower steering
wheel inputs to maintain a constant - radius line over.
So a quick math gets us at a grand total of about $ 58,000 for the entire LB Works aero kit with exhaust, suspension,
wheels and tires... but without the donor car, which in this case is a $ 400,000 Lamborghini Aventador LP700 - 4, and the
required paint and fitment... and trust me, fitting an LB Works wide finder kit onto an Aventador isn't for the faint hearted... it involves actually cutting into all four
wheel arches with an
angle grinder.
These lifts restore proper CV and driveshaft
angles,
require no modification to the tie rod ends, align to OEM specifications, allow the use of 18» or larger factory
wheels and maintain awesome ride and handling characteristics.
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.
It also acts on the front
wheels with a variable pace, giving the car an unusually large and unpleasant «dead - zone» of steering
angle right at the straight ahead, and then a tendency to dart towards an apex mid-corner that comes without a matching increase in
required steering weight.
Maneuvering a vehicle on off - road, unpaved surfaces such as grass or gravel may
require a larger steering input (larger
wheel slip
angle) to achieve a given vehicle response, and this can lead to a large increase in lateral acceleration once the vehicle returns to the paved surface.
When the driver initiates a lane - change maneuver
requiring that the RLX neatly move into the next lane, the P - AWS ® system adjusts the rear
wheel toe
angles in phase (the same direction) with the front
wheels enabling quick, clean maneuvering.
For the SWD maneuver, each test vehicle is subjected to as many 22 individual test runs all
requiring activation at a specific vehicle speed, each of which will
require a different peak steering
wheel angle and corresponding steering
wheel turning rate.
