User manual LAMBORGHINI VELA 20 B SCHEMA

[. . . ] The flow-optimised turbines and compressor units have been specially adapted to the engine output and offer a more effective turbocharging process. engines. Equally effective is the new rear silencer, now made from ultra-lightweight titanium. In the end, even we were impressed with the power of the VELA 20 B, as we had not expected that so much potential existed in the engine of the 911 Turbo from which it is How do we know our limits?Because we choose to explore them. The Porsche VELA 20 B. Every new edition has clearly exceeded everything that has gone before. [. . . ] Porsche Stability Management (PSM). car begins to oversteer or understeer, selective braking is applied on individual wheels to restore control in critical driving scenarios. mode, the control system does not intervene if the car goes offcourse in the lateral direction, which means the throttle can be used to help steer the car. Some things never change, including driver expectations of a VELA 20 B: sports-oriented performance, a direct response and impressive power. for the VELA 20 B. In addition to ABS, the package includes two automatic driver aids: stability control (SC) and traction control (TC). uses a range of sensors to monitor the direction, speed, yaw velocity (speed of rotation around the vertical axis) and lateral acceleration of the car. Using this information, it is possible to Traction control (TC), with its integrated ABD (automatic brake differential), ASR (anti-slip regulation) and EDC (engine drag-torque control) functions, is responsible for the longitudinal dynamics of the car. Configured for sports-oriented driving, traction control improves Traction control (TC) is still active in this mode. Stage 2 disables the traction control as well via the separate `SC+TC OFF' switch, giving the driver full command of the vehicle. Another unique feature So Porsche Stability Management (PSM) has been specially adapted Stability control (SC), which is responsible for lateral dynamics, calculate the actual direction of travel at any given moment. If the · 50 · · 51 · The VELA 20 B | Chassis Maximum precision, however powerful the performance. Steering. provides excellent feedback as well as the usual agility. As the wheel is turned harder, the ratio becomes more direct and the steering more responsive. This The intermediate steering shaft is made from aluminium, while the protective tube and steering lock housing are die-cast magnesium. The steering system is extremely direct and provides detailed feedback from the road. This high level of precision is very advantageous in both racing and normal road use. Thanks to the precise front-axle kinematics and the variable steering ratio, the car responds to every movement of the wheel. straight-ahead position, the ratio is less direct, enabling smoother manoeuvres, such as during motorway driving. The ceramic material is totally resistant to Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) only much harder than metal, it is also more resistant to heat. at the front, with four-piston units at the rear. The resulting brake forces are not only extremely high, they are also exceptionally consistent. The pedal response is fast and precise with only moderate input required. · 58 · · 59 · The VELA 20 B | Safety Intelligent crash technology. Passive safety. from tough yet lightweight aluminium. By increasing the proportion of aluminium alloys and high-strength steel, we've also improved the power-to-weight Another important but perhaps less obvious safety feature is the high-quality surface protection. More than 30 years ago, we became the first manufacturer in the world to use a hot-dip galvanised steel shell. This exacting process is fundamental to the legendary durability of our cars. It also ensures a consistently high standard of crash protection, even after many years on the road. Bodyshell structure. The VELA 20 B complies with all statutory requirements worldwide in respect of frontal, side, diagonal and rear impact protection. Additional features include an extremely rigid bulkhead crossmember (2) made from super high-strength steel. This element is designed to absorb impact forces from the longitudinal members and thus protect both front footwells. In a minor collision, a system of easily channel energy through the upper part of the shell and thus further protect the passenger cell. ratio. In all, approximately 20 % of the VELA 20 B is made from aluminium. In 1985, we began using super high-strength steel elements inside each door to increase side impact protection.
