Abstract Road cars are characterized by having an open differential and no significant aerodynamic downforces. These two aspects allow for some substantial simplifications of the vehicle model. With the additional assumption of equal gear ratio of the steering system for both front wheels, it is possible to formulate the single track model. Quite contrary to common belief, it is shown that the axle characteristics can take into account many vehicle features, like toe-in/toe-out, roll steering, camber angles and camber angle variations. The steady-state analysis is carried out first using the classical handling diagram. Then, the new global approach based on handling maps on achievable regions is introduced and discussed in detail. This new approach shows the overall vehicle behavior at a glance. Stability and control derivatives are introduced to study the vehicle transient behavior. Moreover, the relationship between data collected in steady-state tests and the vehicle transient behavior are thoroughly analyzed in a systematic framework. To prove the effectiveness of these results, a number of apparently different vehicles with exactly the same handling are generated.
