The Super Six was reasonably priced, had a 2.5-liter engine and a tight, integrated-construction chassis.
Most SUVs are rarely driven off-road or punished as much as a commercial truck, but the Envoy could take it and, with its substantial underpinnings, should keep its body and chassis tight for years to come.
Then, an adaptive state-feedback controller, that ensures a tight regulation of the chassis vertical position, is designed assuming all internal state variables to be accessible to measurements.
The Outlander sits on the Lancer platform and although it's been upgraded with stiffer springs and shocks, this chassis is tight enough to take it.
We demonstrated tight coupling between the modular chassis and ester modules for enhanced product biosynthesis, an engineered phenotype useful for directed metabolic pathway evolution.
"The car is so tiny and so tight because of the folding chassis that packaging is difficult – a half-inch here and there really matters because it's designed more like an iPhone than a tower computer," says Larson.
Key to the five-lens approach is the hardware processing present in the chassis - and the tight integration of this with the rest of the hardware is one reason why the Nokia 9 uses the less cutting-edge SnapDragon 845 system on chip.
If the Cabriolet has any overt faults, it's that in order to get the car as rigid as possible and it is exceedingly stiff, with little apparent flex to the chassis even on broken pavement or bending through tight turns it's also been made quite heavy.
But its chassis was so taut, and its suspension so unforgiving, with almost no wheel-travel, that the R8 wheel-hopped out of many tight, bumpy corners, or bounced up on three (or fewer) wheels, on the irregular pavement.
The body curled underneath the chassis, giving the car a lighter, tighter appearance than any heavyweight German grand tourer has a right to muster.
