Rear Suspension

A developed version of the precision-control layout, with 13~ trail angle for the triangulated semi-trailing arms to ensure accurate control of wheel location, and in particular of camber angle. As the wheel moves up and down, rotary movement of the semi-trailing arm around its pivots is modified by the additional control link, so that the wheel performs a three-dimensional movement and camber changes are limited.

To ensure correct toe-in during operation, the semi-trailing arms now incorporate stiffening sections.

The final drive has a double-resilient mounting with three support points on the subframe, to reduce noise transmission from the suspension and transmission to the car's interior. Large-volume rubber mountings where the subframe itself is attached to the body also minimize vibration and noise, so that the overall noise level inside the car is extremely low and ride comfort is improved. The ideal weight distribution increases traction at the rear wheels and ensures reliable starting off and road grip on slippery surfaces.

Carefully chosen suspension ratings, good interaction between the front and rear suspensions and the high rigidity of the bodyshell all add up to a distinct improvement in road behavior.
