CHASSIS AND SUSPENSION F-TYPE’s aluminium body creates an immensely stable platform from which the all-round forged aluminium double wishbone suspension can control the car. With the damping set-up optimised for the best partnership between dynamics and refinement, it gives the perfect combination of control, agility and feedback. On F-TYPE S , F-TYPE V8 S and F-TYPE R models, Adaptive Damping assesses body motion and pitch rates 100 times per second, and adjusts the settings for each damper accordingly. The system improves control, handling and agility as well as the ability to rapidly detect and react to critical driving conditions and driver demands. It achieves this with a series of sensors that are placed around the car to monitor the body’s vertical movement, pitch and roll rates. The steering wheel position is measured 500 times a second enabling the system to predict the body’s roll rate. The stiffness of each individual damper is then adjusted to help maintain body control, stability and agility.
