Some of the future data we can expect to receive from the Pirelli Cyber Tyre, include kilometres clocked, dynamic load, and for the first time, situations of potential danger on road surfaces, from the presence of water to poor grip. This information in tandem with the car’s onboard technology will enable the car to adapt its control and driving assistance systems, greatly improving the level of safety, comfort and performance. In addition, it will provide the same information to other cars and the infrastructure.

Pirelli's Tyre Of The Future

IN Pirelli, Tyres, Technology, 5G network, Ericsson, Audi, Italdesign, KTH, TIM

Pirelli has developed the world's first tyre that interacts with the 5G cellular network.

In terms of handling, there’s nothing to fault the Disco Sport. You could actually take fast and sweeping corners without a hitch, and the electric helm actually getting positive feedback. Body movements at directional changes are not at all silly, and I dare bet my unopened pack of premium 3-in-1 coffee it could keep up with a standard Golf Sport.

To maximise driving feedback, the car has to be set up just right. KW takes care of this by allowing the driver to adjust the characteristics of the front and rear dampers independently, while still remaining true to the high safety standards of the C63 AMG set by Mercedes Benz. The “Comfort” damper setup has a very soft damping (displayed in the App with 0%), while the “Sport+” damper setup is much harder(displayed in the App with 100%). However, controlling the dampers via the app is an option that involves the installation of a W-LAN module. Once that is installed, the unit uses secured WiFi to communicate with the iPhone.

KW DDC ECU Suspension Kit Available For Mercedes C63 AMG

IN KW, Coilovers, Mercedes-Benz, C63, Suspension, AMG

Tired of the ‘soft’ suspension in your C63 AMG? KW is here to help.

Disc brakes are fitted to all wheels, with ventilated discs and Brembo double piston, fixed calipers at the front. Suspension is derived from a tried and tested Abarth configuration with the front provided by independent McPherson struts, while rear suspension is semi-independent with a torsion bar. Abarth has also fitted a larger anti-roll bar together with front springs that are 20% harder than those of a standard suspension system.
