What are the advantages of the French car chassis? Why is it said to be a master-class chassis? You will know it once you drive it. I used to think that the French system was a waste, but after actually owning a 308S, when I drive the previous car, the chassis is completely different. Especially when going through corners, the driver is full of confidence. , and when running on mountain roads, the feeling of running smoothly is really indescribable. It is recommended to get one and drive it for a while, especially when running on relatively complicated road conditions. At least for me, I really like the driving feeling of the French system.
To briefly talk about the author’s personal understanding of French car chassis, there are some inaccuracies. I hope teachers can correct me.
Looking at the current car market, the chassis suspension of most models is a combination of front MacPherson and rear multi-link. Anyone who knows French cars knows that the rear torsion beam non-independent suspension is most commonly used in French cars. This suspension is disliked by many car companies and considered by consumers as a "cheap product". PSA has forced it to use independent suspension. The texture is so good that when sitting in the car, you don't feel that it is a suspension that is disliked by many people. This kind of tuning skills even surpasses that of Mercedes-Benz and BMW.
Although the sales volume and reputation of French cars in China are not as good as those of German and Japanese models, in Europe, especially on the rally track, French cars can be said to be famous.
French cars that compete in various rallies all year round have very rich practical experience in chassis tuning. We all know that rally races are different from ordinary tracks and have to deal with many complex road surfaces such as: snow, Sand, dirt roads, rainforests, etc. have very high requirements on the chassis. It is precisely because they often compete on such tracks that French cars have excellent skills in chassis tuning and can be said to be famous in Europe.
Just imagine, French cars can even use the cheapest torsion beam to create an independent suspension feel. What would it be like if a multi-link independent suspension were used? The author here recommends all readers to test drive the DS7 and experience the French car's multi-link independent suspension adjustment.
