Chassis Concepts

Lotus is renowned as a world leader in driving dynamics. No one offers a more complete understanding of the interaction between vehicle and driver, all the way through from the initial design stage to on-road development testing.

In the initial design stages, accurate assessment of vehicle attributes and competitor benchmarking is key to both the definition of targets for new vehicles and successful concept designs.

Our in-depth understanding of how each area of driving dynamics integrates with the other areas gives us an unparalleled ability to help clients to develop concepts that enable their product aspirations to best be achieved.

We use subjective feedback from our expert vehicle assessments which is correlated with state-of-the-art objective and simulation techniques developed by our own engineers. These include our own bespoke Suspension Kinematics and Compliance Measurement system and our power SHARK and RAVEN computer aided engineering analysis tools which are integral to approach.

To achieve this equilibrium we use a combination of unmatched industry experience, detailed objective testing and specialised computer aided engineering and dynamic analysis tools, many of which we have developed in-house.
