Chassis Engineering
CHASSIS
Structure & Suspension
No springs. No dampers. Pure electromagnetic control — and the most sophisticated passive structures in Schubert's lineup.
From the Cyclotis's fully active electromagnetic suspension to the carbon fiber monocoques of the Noctis family and the spaceframe architecture of the Meridian, Schubert's chassis engineering spans multiple philosophies — each chosen for the specific demands of its vehicle platform.
The Cyclotis System — No Conventional Components
ACTIVE ELECTROMAGNETIC SUSPENSION
The Cyclotis features the first production-intent fully active electromagnetic suspension. Conventional coil springs, dampers, and anti-roll bars are entirely absent. Each corner is independently controlled by an electromagnetic linear actuator that provides real-time ride height, damping force, and roll control simultaneously.
PLACEHOLDER_TECHNICAL: specific actuator force output and stroke range — electromagnetic actuator supplier and detailed specification pending engineering disclosure.
The system responds faster than any hydraulic or pneumatic adaptive damper — operating at sub-millisecond timescales. This enables the suspension to react to surface irregularities before the tire has begun to deflect, absorbing input energy electromagnetically rather than mechanically.
Active body control during cornering allows the vehicle to hold zero body roll at any cornering force, maximizing lateral tire loading and driver confidence. Individual corner stiffening can be commanded within microseconds — a capability no mechanical system can match.

Noctis and Sirena Seraphine Platforms
CARBON FIBER MONOCOQUES
The Noctis family and Sirena Seraphine use full carbon fiber monocoque tubs as their structural foundation. The monocoque provides exceptional torsional rigidity — critical for precise handling — while allowing the body panels to be designed as non-structural aerodynamic surfaces.
The Noctis Reaper Notte uses a carbon-titanium weave variant of the Noctis monocoque, incorporating titanium thread into the carbon layup schedule. PLACEHOLDER_TECHNICAL: specific torsional stiffness figures and carbon fiber specification grades (T700/T800/T1000) pending materials engineering disclosure.
Carbon panels are designed as bolt-on assemblies rather than bonded monocoques where possible — enabling collision repair without full chassis replacement. This is a deliberate design decision tied to Schubert's 30-year service philosophy.
Specifications
Meridian GT Platform
ALUMINUM SPACEFRAME
The Meridian GT uses an aluminum spaceframe chassis — a traditional but highly optimized approach that offers excellent repairability and material recyclability alongside strong structural performance. Carbon fiber body panels are attached as non-structural elements, keeping the spaceframe independent of cosmetic damage.
PLACEHOLDER_TECHNICAL: specific alloy grade (e.g., 6061-T6, 7075) and frame torsional rigidity — pending structural engineering documentation.
The spaceframe supports mid-engine longitudinal placement of the Tempest V8, with load paths engineered to manage the high torque outputs of the twin-turbo configuration while maintaining a low center of gravity.
