Drivetrain

DisclaimerVDC-R cannot prevent accidents due to abrupt steering, carelessness, or dangerous driving techniques. Always drive safely.

 

Transmission

• Electronically controlled variable-rate shock absorbers. High-accuracy progressive-rate coil springs.

• Front double-wishbone/rear multi-link configuration with aluminum members and rigid aluminum subframes.
