Vauxhall 2014 Insignia VXR SuperSport, Технические характеристики

Страница: 34 / 56

1. Brembo braking systems. Corsa VXR Clubsport, Astra VXR and New Insignia VXR
SuperSport’s all feature a four-piston Brembo front braking system featuring larger
diameter ventilated and on Astra VXR and New Insignia VXR SuperSport, cross-drilled
front discs. The cast iron discs are mounted on an aluminium centre reducing weight and
improving performance. Combined with lighter caliper the new Brembo brakes are up to
30% lighter than the standard system. In each instance the new set-up also utilises high-
performance pads which are also 10% larger – giving exceptional stopping power.
2. reduced unsprung weight. Every aspect of a VXR has been considered when it comes to
performance. On Astra and Insignia the HiPerStrut front suspension, 20-inch bi-colour alloy
wheels with Pirelli P Zero tyres and lightweight Brembo front brakes all combine to reduce
unsprung weight by up to 7.5kg per front corner (Astra). This ensures better handling as the
car can react more quickly to changes in the road surface improving grip and ride. Lighter
wheels/tyres/brakes also require the engine to move less rotational mass – thus improving
performance and economy.
