``Motion Control Beam'' uses a specially designed damper to control the rigidity of the front and rear ends of the body, where the most twisting occurs when driving, improving turning performance during cornering, as well as comfort and a high-quality feel for street use. This is a product that allows you to
In particular, the S660 has a mid-engine layout, so there are no end panels on the left and right sides of the rear body.
In the process of analyzing the S660's body rigidity, it became clear that cornering performance could be greatly improved by improving the torsional rigidity of the rear end.
However, although regular reinforcing braces alone can ensure rigidity, they also increase micro-vibrations, so installing this friction damper absorbs those micro-vibrations and provides a smooth, high-quality ride. it is complete.
"Motion Control Beam" has a simple structure of high repulsion springs and friction plates.
When the body twists during cornering, when a large input is applied, the high repulsion spring works in the same way as a brace to suppress the twisting.
On the other hand, for small inputs, twisting is finely suppressed by the elastic force of the friction plate.
By separately controlling this non-constant torsional input, it has become possible to perform a wide range of suppression.
