force flow Explanation: "The XXX's coachwork is not a simple collection of curves. Its structure was developed to create a safety cell, in the same way as architecture generates the shape best designed to withstand the flow of forces." Given that this is a car manual, and given that this particular section is more in the nature of advertising copy, I think one can have a bit of poetic or literary licence to make copy that is fitting to promote the product, with the accent on attractive textual style. |
