Abstract: A suspension system, vehicle, and method of adjusting the suspension system include a chassis having a first mounting point and a second mounting point spaced apart from the first mounting point; a suspension including a suspension mount attached to the chassis at one of the first mounting point and the second mounting point; and an actuator attached to and configured to shift the suspension mount between the first mounting point and the second mounting point.

Abstract: A drift assistance system that assists a driver of a vehicle in sustaining a drift maneuver includes one or more controllers that each include one or more processors that execute instructions to compare a rotation angle of a hand wheel with a minimum hand wheel angle entry value for a minimum amount of entry time and compare each of a plurality of drift criteria parameters with a corresponding entry value. In response to determining the rotation angle of the hand wheel is greater than the minimum hand wheel angle entry value for the minimum amount of entry time and each of the plurality of drift criteria parameters satisfy their corresponding entry value, the one or more controllers shift an executed position of the hand wheel closer to an ideal drift region associated with the hand wheel so that the drift maneuver is executed successfully.

Abstract: A multiple vehicle launch system for an automobile vehicle includes a vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication system to track performance data of a vehicle launch event of a first and a second automobile vehicle and coordinate getting the first and second automobile vehicles to a driving area to conduct the vehicle launch event. A vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication system provides direct communication between the first and second automobile vehicles at the driving area to coordinate a simultaneous launch of the first and second automobile vehicles. A driver enable setting permits a first operator to elect to conduct the vehicle launch event. A readiness identifier is actuated in the first and second automobile vehicles and the vehicle launch event is initiated after the first operator and a second operator of the second automobile vehicle signify readiness by actuating the readiness identifier. An autonomous launch may also be conducted.

Abstract: A method and controller for controlling an electronically controlled transmission in a vehicle propulsion system of a vehicle. The method includes disengaging a clutch in the transmission to prevent a power flow through the transmission in response to an upshift paddle selector and a downshift paddle selector both being actuated together for a first predetermined time period, and changing a ratio of the transmission in response to an actuation of one of the upshift paddle selector and the downshift paddle selector while the clutch in the transmission is disengaged to prevent a power flow through the transmission.
