IM L6 Lizard Digital Chassis, how powerful is it?

Imagine a car that can not only achieve a "super-large angle crab walk" but can also "turn around on the spot" and even perform "torque vectoring lateral shifts." Isn’t that incredible? This car can actually be driven in such ways, and many practical operations make it very easy to handle in daily life! This is the industry's first Lizard Digital Chassis, which comes equipped with the entire IM L6 series. Let’s see how powerful it really is!
 

What is the Lizard Digital Chassis?
 

The Lizard Digital Chassis is a fully digital chassis developed by IM Auto specifically for the IM L6. It achieves coordinated adjustment and control of the vehicle's dynamic performance across all dimensions through the integrated management of its X, Y, and Z axes in six degrees of freedom.
 

In other words, the traditional independent hardware operation mode of the car chassis has been transformed into a digital and intelligent collaborative system. It’s like installing a "super cerebellum" in the vehicle, enabling high-precision vehicle control that brings our imagination to life.
 

Where is the Energy Core of the Lizard Digital Chassis?
 

Iterative Intelligent Integration
 

The Lizard Digital Chassis integrates various system control modules, including smart four-wheel steering, intelligent electronic shock absorbers, air springs, and electric drives. Through advanced central control algorithms, it achieves unparalleled vehicle response speed and control accuracy. Additionally, the Lizard Digital Chassis supports rapid iteration, allowing the vehicle to evolve continuously.
 

High-Performance Main Control Chip
 

Equipped with a high-performance main control chip, the Lizard Digital Chassis actively manages chassis operations. This chip's processing speed is 2.5 times faster than similar mainstream chips in the industry, handling nearly 2 billion instructions per second. This substantial computing power supports the agile response of the IM L6.
 

What Can the Lizard Digital Chassis Do for Me?
 

Crab Mode
 

In Crab Mode, the rear wheels can rotate in the same direction and angle as the front wheels, allowing the vehicle to move parallel to the diagonal direction. This mode provides a remarkable level of flexibility, similar to how a daily work chair or a baby stroller moves with four wheels pushed. Crab Mode enables a large vehicle to achieve exceptional maneuverability.
 

Access to Narrow Parking Spaces
 

For daily parking tasks, such as parallel parking or fitting into tight roadside spaces, the Lizard Digital Chassis reduces the required parking space length by 11%. Even with minimal gaps between front and rear vehicles, you can easily maneuver into place in one step, greatly enhancing parking efficiency.
 

Extreme Turning Radius
 

On low-speed urban roads, the front and rear wheels can turn in opposite directions, reducing the turning radius to just 4.99 meters, comparable to a Volkswagen Polo. This feature allows the vehicle to navigate extreme corners or complete tight turns with ease, minimizing the risk of blocking passageways or causing scratches.
 

ICS Pan-Tilt Brake
 

The ICS Pan-Tilt Brake of the Lizard Digital Chassis ensures exceptional stability. Its global integration capability delivers smooth braking across various scenarios. Braking G-values are reduced by 92.3% on flat roads and 88% on ramps, significantly enhancing driving safety and comfort.
 

Intelligent Adjustment of Four-Wheel Air Springs
 

On large-angle curves on urban high-speed elevated roads, the four-wheel air springs and CDC (Continuous Damping Control) actively adjust to transform the vehicle into a pan-tilt body. This adjustment effectively suppresses body roll and offsets centrifugal force. As a result, the driver's sense of control is enhanced, riding comfort is improved, and the likelihood of motion sickness is significantly reduced.

Cheetah Mode
 

The IM L6 excels not only in handling curves with agility but also in straight-line acceleration. With the Lizard Digital Chassis, the IM L6 can activate Cheetah Mode even in extremely low temperatures, such as minus 30 degrees Celsius. In this mode, the front suspension is actively lowered, allowing for immediate acceleration and increased grip.

Four-Wheel Drive Technology and Stability
 

When driving through water or puddles, or when there is a significant difference in adhesion between the left and right tires, the vehicle may experience slipping or drifting. The Lizard Digital Chassis intervenes actively by correcting the vehicle's posture in real-time through the intelligent four-wheel steering system. It works in conjunction with the EVD (Electronic Variable Dampening) and eTAC (Electronic Traction Control) systems to reduce vehicle deviation by approximately 80%. This means the driver almost does not need to make manual corrections, ensuring safety and stability without the driver even noticing.

Digital Prediction Safety

With the Lizard Digital Chassis, the vehicle’s steering angle, braking force, and suspension support work together intelligently to enhance safety. This system responds 30% faster than traditional ESP systems, completing emergency maneuvers in just 0.3 seconds. This significantly improves driving safety and ensures swift and effective responses in critical situations.
 

In emergencies, novice drivers can also safely navigate obstacles with the aid of the Lizard Digital Chassis.
 

Standard on the IM L6 series, the Lizard Digital Chassis represents the culmination of SAIC's ten years of dedicated effort. This advanced digital and intelligent chassis technology offers an unprecedented integration of smart vehicle and driver experience.
