In final thesis we presented different types od suspensions among passenger cars and racing vehicles. We explained advantages and disadvantages between different types of suspensions and also showed how geometry of suspension effect handling. We compared Renault Clio (low price range), Volkswagen Golf (mid price range), BMW 3-series (mid to high price range), Audi A6 quattro (high price range) and Formula Svarog, which was built by a team of students under the name Superior Engineering. We determined roll centre and center of gravity to all above listed vehicles. We came to conclusion that Formula Svarog has the best suspension geometry and shortest roll torque lever among all analized vehicles. The best suspension on front axle among passenger cars is found on Audi A6. On the rear the best suspension is found on BMW 3-series. The cheapest and simplest suspension on both axles is found on Renault Clio. Among passenger cars Clio has the shortest roll moment lever and the longest roll moment lever is found on BMW 3-series.
