could be interesting under a muscle car

Maybe not as good dynamically... but this would be cool too... :unibrow: :thumbsup:

Very interesting. Assuming that this is the rear suspension (based on the inboard configuration of the toe link bushing), I notice that the toe link is equal in length and in the same plane as the lower control arm, unlike C-4 and later Corvette suspensions that have a longer toe link. This would reduce or eliminate bump steer in the rear suspension. Some production cars actually use some bump steer (roll steer) to "tighten" the car at maximum performance, causing a push that keeps an idiot from backing into the guard rail on an on ramp. This Lambo configuration is very sophisticated and very race car oriented. Bravo.

At the end the energy transfered to the setup is less, so it loses efficiency, but it's totally awesome the way it looks, now, if they had the capability to be adjustable, I have a few designs for the setup I'd like to check later (by later I mean when I'm at university and I get the chance to design my own stuff), they'd be a lot cooler, there are a lot more ways to save space and still not lose handling and other stuff...

Maybe its just the angle, but it appears that by connecting the pushrod to the upright, they are able to maximize the motion ratio - normally this pushrod would be connected to the LCA somewhere slightly inboard of the balljoint.

What's interesting to me is that nothing shown here is outside the realm of suspension engineers knowledge for the last 20 years, but its taken the modern push for performance to actually build something like this. Amazing how similar the control arms look to vette pieces, same bushings and same mounting dogbones.

thanks for sharing the pics.

And I won't even comment on that insane CF strut the other guy posted. Where does the money come from ! :)

3 more years of school and I'll be working for them... hopefully

More to do with spring rate curves than anything. This has been done on bikes for a while.

First thing that popped into my mind were Suzuki TL1000S and TLR.

Very neat pieces. I like the direction Lambo has been going under Audi/VW control

corvette prototype had that same suspension cantilever ,and so many other cars ,I know maier racing uses that set up a lot
