Abstract

Micro FF car, 3m long with 4 passengers, is given good handling and stability, even though only 2m wheelbase. Excellent vehicle dynamics planning and suspension & steering design make it possible. Stability has the first priority, and driving pleasure and usability e.g. 3.9m turning radius are also remarkable. After showing approach way and design process, yaw gain characteristic proves that agility at low speed and stability at high speed are compatible.
