Ferrari GTO Suspension
Suspension:
The GTO was built with a fully independent suspension employing unequal-length wishbones with coil springs over manually adjustable Koni shock absorbers. The wisbones were of high-tensile tubular steel, and the strut assemblies were located differently at the front and the rear. Front and rear anti-roll bars contributed to the car's high cornering stability.
Brakes:
The GTO had ventillated disc brakes with a diameter of 12.05" at the front and 12.2" at the rear. Twin-piston calipers were actuated by a servo-assisted dual-channel hydraulic system, with front and rear braking automatically regulated.
Steering and Wheels:
Steering on the GTO was by unassisted rack and pinion. The car rode on special two-piece Speedline aluminum wheels carrying 225/50-16 tires at the front and 255/50-16 at the rear. The 16" wheels were secured to the hubs by means of a single nut, in the manner of a racing car.
