ReinforcementMc Pherson type independent wheel layout, with the shock absorber and the spring acting as both damping and flexible elements as well as structural and kinematic elements.The main components of this structure are:- Lighter two-part wishbones in pressed steel (with patented butterfly design) to reduce unsuspended masses.- Suspension crossmember with high structural rigidity with transverse connecting band near the front mountings for the wishbones."Split" type turret mountings (dual-path) for improved filtering of road vibrations at the same time guaranteeing excellent structural strength favouring driving precision.- Stiffened anti-roll bar to better control vehicle roll with connecting rods mounted on the shock absorbers, which allow improved stabilising efficiency and better dynamic responsiveness when cornering.- New strengthened coil springs produced using side-load technology for improving the thrust axle in order to reduce tangential forces on the shock absorber stem and consequently internal friction (system hysteresis) with resulting improved absorption of slight uneveness of the road surface.- Double acting telescopic hydraulic shock absorbers with a 22 mm stem diameter for good lateral rigidity helping road holding when cornering.
