The vehicle includes a suspended running chassis (1) making it possible to define a longitudinal and vertical plane forming a reference on the chassis (1), the preferred running direction being parallel to the longitudinal plane, and at least two wheel connecting systems, the wheels (2) of which are not aligned relative to the longitudinal plane, the wheel connecting systems being mounted on the chassis (1) on either side of the latter in the transverse direction, each of the wheel connecting systems including a wheel (2) mounted on a support (5) by means of a suspension device allowing vertical deflection of the wheel (2) relative to the support (5), the suspensions being independent of one another. Each support (5) is mounted on the chassis (1) by means of a camber mechanism which includes a camber lever (4) and an activating lever (40) making it possible to vary the camber angle of the corresponding wheel (2). The camber mechanism includes an arm (70) mounted on the support (5) on an axis of support oriented substantially parallel to the longitudinal plane, and mounted on the chassis (1) without any possibility of tilting about a longitudinal axis relative to the chassis (1), so as to transmit the weight carried by the chassis to the support (5).

1. A vehicle comprising:a suspended longitudinally extending chassis, at least two wheel connecting systems, each comprising a wheel, said wheel connecting systems being mounted on said chassis on either side of the latter, each of the wheel connecting systems comprising a wheel mounted on a support, each wheel connecting system comprising guiding elements for deflection of the respective wheel relative to the respective support, the deflection taking place in the plane of the wheels and being sufficient to afford the required vertical suspension movement, each support being mounted on a camber mechanism, said camber mechanism being mounted on said chassis, said camber mechanism acting between the chassis and the supports so as to incline the plane of each wheel relative to said chassis in order to impart a camber angle of desired amplitude to the planes of said wheels, thus making it possible to impose a variable camber angle to all the wheels relative to the ground in the same direction, a passenger compartment mounted on said chassis so as to be inclinable about a longitudinal roll axis and interconnected with the camber mechanism such that a roll angle of the passenger compartment is adjusted simultaneously with the camber angle of each wheel, and a controller responsive to a parameter representative of the transverse acceleration of the vehicle for controlling the camber mechanism to adjust the camber angle and the roll angle.
