Rear Axle: Notes

The Integral V rear axle from the F01 was adapted for the F07. In the F07 customers can also benefit from the Integral Active Steering and associated rear axle slip angle control introduced with the F01 (as part of ZSP Sport Package).

Furthermore the axle was optimized for a standard use of air suspension.
