What are the advantages and disadvantages of a low car chassis?
1 Answers
Advantages: Lowering the car chassis can increase the downward pressure on the vehicle body, thereby improving grip performance. When the chassis is lower, it can provide aerodynamic downward pressure to the body at high speeds. According to Bernoulli's principle, a narrow channel increases the speed of airflow, and as the airflow speed increases, the air pressure decreases, creating a pressure difference between the upper and lower surfaces of the vehicle body. The pressure on the upper surface of the body will be greater than that on the lower surface. As a result, the air will push the vehicle body downward, increasing the pressure of the tires on the ground, thereby enhancing tire friction and improving the grip performance of the sports car. Disadvantages: When passing through areas with significant elevation changes, driving straight may cause the bottom of the car to scrape. Driving through deep water may lead to serious consequences such as water entering the engine.
