Description
Covering every decade from the 1890s until now, this book reveals an incredible array of fascinating and advanced vehicle suspension designs. Meet the people and ideas behind Packard's Torsion Level suspension, BMC's Hydrolastic and BMW's semi-trailing arms. Understand the outcry over the Corvair's 'unsafe at any speed' rear suspension design... marvel at the McLaren F1's extreme handling.... and be amazed at the Citroën 2CV's interconnected innovation. Meet the world's first vehicle suspension designer - and read his biting replies to his critics. Discover how Maurice Olley persuaded General Motors to spend half a million dollars in the middle of the Great Depression to build two suspension test cars. Understand the technology of the Porsche Panamera air suspension and see how the engineers built body stiffness into the C5 Corvette. Researched on three continents and containing more than 500 photos, diagrams and graphs, this book will forever change how you view car suspension. "An excellent, extensively-referenced book that covers many successful suspension designs. From horse-drawn buggies to Benz, to flat ride, interconnection and air suspension, this is a fascinating read." - Douglas Milliken, co-author Race Car Vehicle Dynamics
