Modern cars like the Audi 8V MQB platform run a pretty stiff laser-welded bodyshell. Up front, the chassis is very rigid between the suspension tops, but at the rear there is much more chassis flex which negatively affects vehicle handling in hard use, especially with stiff suspension. Bracing ties the chassis together at a point where it flexes under load, so the car responds more precisely to steering and throttle inputs.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"height: 1px; background: #d9d9d9;
