      Aim of the study: Determine subjectively and objectively one of the N – DNA pillars named as "carving feel" (Corner Rascal). Objectify the specified driving sensation and develop an index as an evaluation metric for future N vehicles - Definition and integration of "carving feel" in general vehicle dynamics (Investigation and research of the origin of the carving term and possible connections with the automotive sector). - Development of a subjective evaluation method related to "carving sensation" (Conduction of an initial subjective evaluation with different expert drivers and engineers from various departments. Definition of the appropriate subjective vehicle tests and the corresponding subjective attributes that fulfil the aspects concerning "carving feel"). - Establishment of a specified driving manoeuvre as an objective vehicle test (Development of an objective test method according to the subjective evaluation results in conformity with other existing standards and analysis of the extracted signals. Conduction of an objective evaluation with use of the necessary measurement equipment). - Initial proposal of a "carving feel" index (Objectification of the parameter with the utilization of the aforementioned variables that have been initially investigated and compared with all tested vehicles). - Conduction of a statistical linear regression analysis between subjective attributes and objective results. Inspection of the regression results that showcase robustness and reliability.
