rFpro has created an engineering-grade digital model of the Applus IDIADA proving ground, which enables the development and testing of vehicle dynamics, ADAS and autonomous systems
A high-tech automated system has been installed at Lotus’s final assembly plant in Hethel, which helps ensure Emira customers will enjoy the exact dynamic setup its engineers created. Non-contact 3D measuring technology ensures the optimal chassis geometry, while ADAS is correctly calibrated, and roll mode, brake operation and ABS are on point
Watch how racing and development driver Frank Stippler set a new compact car class lap record on the Nordschleife in the 2021 Audi RS 3 Saloon
The 2021 Audi RS 3 Saloon has set a new lap record for the compact car class on the Ring, beating the Renault Megane RS Trophy R by 4.64 seconds. Audi says that, above all, the torque splitter, with fully variable torque distribution on the rear axle, contributed most to the record time of 7:40.748
Thyssenkrupp Bilstein is opening a new site next to the Nürburgring, which will be used to develop damper and suspension products. The site has easy access to the legendary track, and will house a seven-post vertical dynamics test stand
MB Dynamics has launched the Model BHP/EPBTM, a test bench for conducting R&D work on automotive brake hydraulic pressure (BHP) and electric parking brake (EPB) systems to support assessments of brake caliper and rotor assembly noise, useful service life, and other performance metrics
Following approval by the Japanese government, Kistler’s RoaDyn S635, a six-component wheel-force transducer (WFT), can now be used for testing on public roads to test hub and rim geometries, load, and measurement range
Watch as Professor Gordon Murray and his senior test and development driver, Steve Hayes, drive the XP2 & XP3 development cars on track, hitting 5,000rpm on the track. There is still a long way to go until they reach the 3.9-litre 663PS engine’s 12,100rpm aim for the full production cars
Following regulatory approvals, Spectris has completed the acquisition of Concurrent Real-Time, a provider of real-time computational hardware and software. The company becomes part of HBK, helping grow its simulator platform businesses and integrate HiL technology
