A specialized type of unibody construction consisting of thin, carefully joined panels that provide extreme rigidity and strength. Usually used for sports cars and race cars.
Industry:Automotive
A partial frame that is sometimes bolted to the body of unibody vehicles. A sub-frame can be used to support the engine, transmission and front suspension instead of having these components connect directly to the main body structure.
Industry:Automotive
A suspension design that uses multiple links to respond more precisely to the terrain and control wheel movement.

By using more than the traditional one intake and one exhaust valve (two per cylinder), multiple valves (usually four per cylinder) increase the flow of the fuel/air mixture into the engine and exhaust gases out of the engine. It also allows a more central location of the spark plug for more uniform combustion.
Industry:Automotive
An instrument for measuring and indicating the speed at which the engine crankshaft is turning, as measured in revolutions per minute (rpm).
Industry:Automotive
Aspiration means breathing. An internal combustion engine that is neither turbocharged nor supercharged. Natural aspiration gives less power than either turbo- or supercharged engines of the same engine displacement, but generally operates with better fuel efficiency.
Industry:Automotive
Pieces of metal that become progressively thicker as they get closer to the passenger compartment in order to absorb the force of an impact.
Industry:Automotive
An instrument that measures and registers the miles and tenths of miles the vehicle has been driven.
