A comprehensive interpretation of the third-generation Volvo Dice Vida

Mazda third-generation RX-7 FD3S (later FD3S) front  Volvo Dice Vida suspension is a double-wishbone. During that period, Toyota Supra, Mitsubishi EVO, Honda S2000 and many other high-performance cars are using this form of suspension. At the moment, the double-wishbone independent suspension is also widely used in the Ferrari, Maserati supercar, including F1 car also uses a double-wishbone suspension.

 The double-wishbone independent suspension knuckle and body connection through the upper and lower A-shaped control arms, and available at all times to ensure that the wheels of its precise positioning close to the ground, at the same time strong lateral stability provide a strong lateral support, vehicle steering roll the vehicle with superior handling.

Up and down swing arms are made of aluminum material, and from the shape did simplify as much as possible to reduce the unsprung mass, reduce body vibration. In addition, due to the unique structure of the rotary engine works, it compared to a reciprocating engine with higher horsepower volume ratio, which means that in the case of the same power, the smaller the volume of the rotary engine, the weight should much lighter. So, FD3S only less than 1.4 tons of curb weight, which is a big factor with superior handling.

    Worthy of note is to improve the lateral stability, under the arm pivots with the longitudinal axis parallel with the body design of the form, in order to bear more of the lateral force. Some may question why such a performance car do not pay attention to withstand the longitudinal forces? "Japan is located in the foothills of the mountain roads, many corners, a maximum power of 255 hp run a straight line acceleration consequences can be imagined, FD3S designed sports car is not positioned as a high-speed cruise early, but pay more attention to the manipulation of agility and stability sex.

Anti-roll bar installed directly next  Volvo dice vida 2011A  swing arm, 29.35mm diameter compared to the family car's anti-roll bar is thicker, in the case of the same material, it is bound to have greater torsional rigidity, it is easier to suppress steering of body roll, so as to ensure the handling of the vehicle.
