Abstract
A Jaguar is known to handle like a dream, and at fast highway speeds, you hear only the quiet purr of the engine – not a glimmer of annoying road noise. Jaguar is one of the few vehicle brands associated with nothing but superlatives — in this case top-of-the-line comfort and superb drivability. To reach this level of performance, the expert engineering teams from Jaguar and LMS combined a multi-attribute chassis-balancing process with a cutting-edge test-based tire model from LMS International. The multi-attribute methodology helped Jaguar optimize their engineering process and balance road noise requirements on the much-anticipated new XJ without compromising its renowned best-in-class vehicle handling. LMS Engineering consultants provided technology transfer throughout the project so that Jaguar's experts can continue to deploy the multi-attribute process.
