Pour une stabilité qui fait coller la voiture à la route et une meilleure insonorisation, on trouve un système de suspension à bras de longueur inégale à l'avant et à l'arrière qui offre de nombreux avantages et assure une tenue de route impressionnante, par le biais d'une géométrie qui maintient les pneus plus perpendiculaires à la route.
