The advanced suspension upgrade from JRZ Suspension Engineering is expected to improve the rough terrain crossing performance of the vehicle.
Controlling the unsprung mass is said to lessen the suspension system’s workload enhancing its ability to dampen bumps, improving its ability to keep the tyres on the ground, therefore providing superior traction levels.
The Terrastorm’s on- and off-road handling transformation is made possible by the JRZ Suspension Engineering setup. Precision CNC machined components, increased fluid displacement, high flow-rate valves, and nitrogen-charged shock absorbers work in harmony to eliminate wheel hop, provide handling across all terrain types, boost traction, and elevate comfort levels. Furthermore, this advanced suspension system stabilises body roll.
The Terrastorm’s heavy-duty off-road suspension is claimed to react swiftly to the driver’s inputs, automatically adjusting damping speed for optimal performance.
The suspension setup incorporates precision-machined parts, ensuring precise and controlled movements, as well as extended service intervals of 25,000 km. Certified by TUV Germany and tested for durability on a dyno cycle of more than 800,000 cycles, the Terrastorm’s front strut can withstand side loads of more than 5000 Newtons.
Based on a Volkswagen Crafter/MAN TGE 4Motion chassis, the 4x4 Torsus Terrastorm features a Euro VI D 2.0-litre bi-turbo diesel engine offered in two power guises, 140PS (103kW) and 340Nm or 177PS (130kW) and 410Nm, mated to a six-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic transmission.
The vehicle is offered in a range of configurations, all of which include an upgraded chassis and off-road suspension, all-wheel drive with a locking rear differential and integrated winch in the Torsus front bumper capable of towing up to 5.5 tonnes.
