ABSTRACT:
A chassis and suspension system includes a chassis which is pivotally suspended from front and rear subchassis, and front and rear interchassis springs which resiliently restrict the pivotal movement of the chassis relative to the front and rear subchassis, respectively. Front and rear wheel connecting assemblies mount front and rear wheels, respectively, on the front and rear subchassis, respectively, so that they are independently resiliently upwardly movable in substantially parallel relation to the central vertical axes of the respective subchassis. By properly dimensioning the components of the chassis and suspension system, it functions so that during cornering, only the chassis rotates while the front and rear subchassis remain in substantially unrotated dispositions, whereby the wheels remain substantially perpendicular to a roadway surface therebeneath to maximize tire adhesion.
