      <p class="footnote">Left picture: front axle; right picture: rear axle</p>
      <p>The front axle is equipped with McPherson strut suspension and the wheels are located using a high-precision arrangement of longitudinal and transverse links and reinforced wheel bearings. The benefits on the road are precision wheel guidance, excellent straight-line stability and superior handling characteristics.<br /></p>
      <p>The rear axle has a race-derived multi-link suspension, following the LSA concept (Lightweight, Stable, Agile) for exceptional driving dynamics. The axle kinematics significantly reduce the compression of the vehicle’s suspension under acceleration. Lightweight spring struts with aluminium dampers on the rear axle help to maximise handling agility.<br /></p>
      <p>This lightweight construction keeps the vehicle gross weight and the weight of the unsprung masses low. The chassis allows for safe manoeuvring, even at high speeds. The pitching of the body when pulling away and braking is minimal, as is body roll in corners. Rolling noises and vibrations are also kept to a minimum.</p>
