The
first time in Peugeot's history they have decided to opt for a double wishbone
suspension unit on the 407's front axle. On the rear axle, the latest
generation multi-arm suspension still features dampers that are, in Peugeot
tradition, inclined rearwards to optimize boot space. Based on a structure exhibiting a high
tensional rigidity, the choice fell naturally therefore on two high-tech
architectures with the generous use of lightweight materials on a dual wishbone
front axle with drop link, and on an integral multi-arm rear suspension with
inclined spring/damper assemblies.
The various constituent parts of the
suspension and their functional criteria were not compromised in any way.
Compared to the first generation multi-arm rear suspension that made its
appearance on the 406, the all-new rear suspension of the 407 differs
essentially by the inclusion of inclined spring/valve damper assemblies (more
compact) and of a longitudinal arm decoupled from the hub carrier to ensure
longitudinal operation only (absence of extraneous forces generating
vibrations).
Launched
in 2005, the Peugeot 407 Coupe is the latest in a long tradition of prestige
coupes produced by Peugeot, where style plays a key role, combining stature and
refinement to create a product capable of long-distance touring with comfort
and high performance development.
This
stature is expressed initially through the coupe’s suspension dynamics, with
dual wishbone and a drop link at the front and multi-arm rear suspension: the
Peugeot 407 coupe produces’ superb road holding, is acknowledged for its grip,
progressive control, dynamics and ride comfort.
